The Art of Choosing the Perfect Candle Vessel

Welcome to the whimsical world of candle vessels, where the right choice can elevate your candle from a mere light source to a beacon of style (and, let's be honest, a bit of bragging rights). Let's dive into the art of selecting the perfect glass home for your wick and wax.

The Shape of Things to Come

First things first: shapes. The shape of your candle vessel is like the haircut of your candle. You've got your classics, like the trusty cylinder – reliable, steady, won’t let you down. Then there’s the bold square, for those who like their candles like their favorite chocolate bar – chunky. And let’s not forget the trendy geometric vessels, for candles that double as a math lesson (angles are in, people!).

Size Matters (But Not Too Much)

Size is the next big decision. If you’re a go-big-or-go-home type, then large vessels are your jam. They’re perfect for those who forget to buy new candles and need something that lasts longer than their last diet. Smaller vessels? Ideal for the commitment-phobes who can’t decide on a scent for too long. And for the Goldilocks in all of us, there's always the medium size – not too big, not too small, just right for indecision.

To Color or Not to Color?

Now, let’s talk color. Clear glass is the old faithful – transparent, honest, nothing to hide (including that lopsided wick you tried to center). Colored vessels, on the other hand, are like the mysterious strangers of the candle world. They add a pop of intrigue and hide any waxing mishaps (we've all been there). Choose a color that compliments your room or one that clashes so boldly it becomes a conversation starter ("Yes, that is a neon green candle vessel, and no, I have no regrets").

Design: The Devil’s in the Details

Design details can turn a simple vessel into a statement piece. Ribbed glass? It's like corduroy pants, but for your candle – retro yet cool. Frosted glass? It's the incognito mode for candles, offering a soft, filtered light, perfect for those spa-like vibes or hiding the fact you haven’t dusted in a while.

Your Candle, Your Rules

Choosing the perfect candle vessel is a journey of self-discovery. It's about personal style, practicality, and sometimes just how it makes you feel when you look at it. At Supra, we believe every candle deserves a home that’s as unique as its creator. So, whether you choose a vessel that's classically elegant or one that screams "I'm a funky candle maker," remember – it's your candle, your rules.

Happy candle crafting! May your wicks always be centered, and your vessels always half full (of wax, of course).
