Boiled Egg Candles. Simple, symbolic, and full of quiet wonder.

Our Boiled Egg Candles are crafted life-size and available in packs of 1, 3, or 6. Each candle is finished in the unmistakable pale terracotta shell, and when lit, reveals a hidden surprise: the delicate outer layer melts away to unveil the creamy white ‘egg white’, before finally exposing the golden yolk at its heart. With a 1.5-hour burn time per egg, they are a sculptural joy – playful, unexpected, and deeply evocative.

Across history and folklore, the egg has carried extraordinary meaning. In many cultures it has symbolised life, fertility, and creation, while in ancient myths the cosmic egg was believed to be the origin of the universe itself. For centuries, eggs have been associated with renewal, purity, and hope, their simple form embodying both fragility and infinite potential. From spring rituals to Easter traditions, the humble egg has remained a timeless emblem of rebirth and good fortune.

These candles celebrate not only the beauty of the egg itself, but also the layers of meaning it has carried through history – a quiet reminder of life’s cycles, and a visual delight at any table.

Fragile: please remember that natural wax is a soft and delicate material, so some imperfections may be present on the surface. Natural waxes will 'bloom', this is a natural reaction to the environment which means the candle may appear 'dusty'. This is very easy to remove with a warm hand or quick blast with a hairdryer. 

Candle health and safety:
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Always put candles on a heat resistant surface, taper candles will need a stable, heat-resistant holder with a wide footprint to prevent them falling over.

Keep burning candles away from things that can catch fire (e.g. curtains, other fabrics, furniture, hair). Keep candles out of draughts. Don’t put under shelves (there should be at least one meter between a candle and any surface above it).
Candles should be kept out of reach of children and pets - consider where you place them in your home carefully.

Make sure to leave at least 10cm between two burning candles - candles like to 'jump' between each other.
Trim your wick when needed to maintain a height of 0.5cm.

Keep wax pool clear of matches and debris to prevent reignition.
Extinguish candles before moving them. Make sure candles are completely extinguished.

Candles are not food, not toys, and should never be eaten.
