Our vintage candles are poured into original egg cups, spice pots, salt + pepper shakers, sugar bowls and wine cups. Once you have finished your candle, the vessel can be used for its original purpose once again!
This fits perfectly with our ethos of being a circular business.
A circular economy is designed to make the most out of resources that are already in use. Instead of throwing used products away, it focuses on reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling materials to keep them in use for as long as possible. Hornsea pottery was so well made that it's still in circulation decades later, and it's an honour to be able to repurpose these pottery pieces into something new and functional for this day and age. By upcycling them, we are extending the life of objects that might otherwise be thrown away, reducing both waste and the demand for new resources, and helping to create a more sustainable future, in the process.
We're so happy that you love them as much as we do!
