Container for Bulk Candle from the "Rust and Patina" Collection

In my free time, I often embark on hikes to remote places where no human foot has tread in ages. I enjoy visiting abandoned sites because they allow one to encounter time itself. Various objects and items, under the influence of time's decay—moss-covered and rusted—acquire entirely new forms, color palettes, and atmospheres. Observations of such things have enabled me to create the concrete container collection "Rust and Patina." Using special interior finishing materials, the concrete "begins" to rust, forming a patina layer upon it. Afterward, once the container has acquired an aura of antiquity, the process is halted with a specialized lacquer.

Container finish	Rust and patina treatment materials

The base of the container is designed with sufficient thickness to ensure that it does not overheat during the burning of the bulk candle, thereby preventing damage to the surface on which it is placed. If you remain concerned that the container might harm the surface, you can purchase candle coasters with a heat-resistant oak veneer coating from the "Candle Coasters" section. To refill the container with bulk candle material, acquire palm wax granules in a 1000-gram (approximately 2.2-pound) package from the "Bulk Candles" section. This package allows you to refill the container three times. It includes two types of wicks and instructions for candle creation. Of course, after the candle has burned out, you may also insert any pre-made candle that fits inside the container or repurpose it for other household uses. The concrete container is not suitable for storing open food items.
