Bayberry wax is one of the rarest and most sought-after candle waxes. It is made from the waxy berries of the bayberry shrub, rather than beeswax, paraffin, or as in past centuries, spermaceti from whales. Burned on Christmas and New Year’s Eves it is said to bring blessings and good luck for the coming year. These 8” tapers come beautifully gift-boxed. Paired with a pair of Peter Pots Candleholders, they make a thoughtful gift that can be used all year long. Please specify Candleholder color.
