Cast Iron Candle Holder - Square

$ 48.00
/

This is a cast iron candle holder specifically made for warōsoku (traditional Japanese candles). The spike in the center securely holds the short (4¼”) warōsoku that we offer. (For the medium (6¼”) warōsoku use the Cast Iron Candle Holder with Handle.)

Weighing 11.4oz, it feels heavy for its size. The surface looks rough, but actually is smooth to the touch. The bottom of the candle holder is concave to prevent overheating of the surface it sits on.

Specifications

  • Cast iron
  • 2" (L) x 1¾" (H)
