Hand-Dipped Beeswax Taper Candles - 1 Pair
Couldn't load pickup availability
Our tapers are classic dinner candles dipped into pure molten beeswax at just the right temperature by a steady hand and a keen eye. These candlesticks are dipped and cooled over twenty times each before a pair can be cut free from the oak rack. When finished and hung, they carry the rich scent of honey and seem to hold light in their bellies. Kept out of drafts and away from fans these tapers will burn virtually dripless for about one hour per inch of length.

Features
- 100% Pure Beeswax
- Paraffin-free & lead-free, non-toxic & hypoallergenic
- Each candle burns one hour burn per inch of length
- Perfect wedding candles or for celebrating the everyday
- Colored tapers are dyed solid/ all the way through
- These are standard taper candles, they fit in the vast majority of candlestick holders. Beeswax is also wonderfully malleable. If your taper is a hair narrow, simply warm the base over a flame and the molten wax will secure the taper in place. If the taper candle is a touch wide, gently press and twist into place.
Dimensions & Care
- 8in. x .875in. (7/8")
- 10in. x .875in.
- 12in. x .875in.
- 16in. x .875in.
- To prevent dripping, keep away from open windows, fans or excessive airflow of any kind and place your hand behind flame when blowing out.
- Another trick to prevent dripping is to NOT trim the burnt wick before re-lighting! The long curled wick that you find should just be lit as is. Please note, this is different than all other candle styles that do benefit from regular wick trimming.
- We have consciously chosen not to include chemical preservatives in these candles, which means that some of the lighter colors in particular may shift, subtly over time/ if exposed to sustained UV
- To minimize smoking use a snuffer to extinguish flame.

They smell great, don’t drip, and are presented well. Love them. Never buy anything else.

I bought several tapers both for myself and for friends. I was very excited to have taper that do not DRIP -- as the employees stated. They absolutely DRIP -- even when caring for them as Bluecorn suggests. They DRIPED and ruined a very expensive tablecloth. I will not buy them again.
Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share this — I’m really sorry to hear about your experience, especially with your tablecloth being damaged. Our tapers are designed to be dripless, but even a small amount of airflow from a heater, fan, or draft can cause beeswax to drip. If there wasn’t any airflow in the room, I’d really love to take a closer look so we can figure out what went wrong. If you’re open to it, feel free to send a couple of photos my way and I’ll be happy to help from there.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Jennifer & The Bluecorn Team
Tapers give off such wonderful light. The smell really is honeyed if I remember to turn off any fans or heaters that blow the air around too much for me to notice. Tapers also seem to last the longest and are by far the least maintenance or concern - these are the practical ones you want for evening wind down! One or two tapers are enough to read by for me.
Hi Samantha,
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoy the tapers — that warm, honeyed scent and steady glow are exactly what makes pure beeswax so special. And you’re absolutely right: they’re wonderfully low‑maintenance and surprisingly long‑lasting, which makes them perfect for slow evening wind‑downs. We love knowing they’ve become part of your reading routine. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
Have a beautiful week,
Jennifer & The Bluecorn Team
