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.

Just as described
Hi Katlin,
Thank you so much for your review! I’m really glad to hear the tapers arrived just as described. We put a lot of care into making them consistent and beautiful, so it means a lot to hear that reflected back. Thanks for choosing our candles!
Best wishes,
Jennifer & The Bluecorn Team
I recently discovered Bluecorn candles at the Portland (Oregon) Art Museum store and, attracted by the rich colors, bought 2 pairs of 12” tapers—teal and cranberry (or whatever the deep red is called). They burned so cleanly and for so long, and with no drips at all—I was very impressed! We always have candlelight at dinner in the dark winter months and these have added so much pleasure to the dining table. I had hoped to order more colors this time but so many colors were out of stock. I hope some of them will be back soon!
Hi Kathy,
Thank you so much for sharing this, and for picking up your first pairs at the Portland Art Museum store. We’re thrilled to hear the teal and burgundy tapers have been adding so much beauty to your winter dinners — a clean, steady, dripless burn is exactly what we aim for, so it means a lot to hear they impressed you.
You’re right that several colors are currently out of stock. We’ve had a few production delays, but our team is actively dipping more tapers and working hard to get the full palette back online. None of the colors you mentioned are being discontinued, and you’ll start seeing restocks roll out soon.
Thank you again for your kind words and for lighting your table with Bluecorn. We’re grateful to have you with us.
All the best,
Jennifer & The Bluecorn Team

The candles go so well with the candle stick holders. They look exactly as shown in the picture. They are very high quality and like they are from beeswax.
Hi Erin,
Thank you so much for this lovely review! I’m thrilled to hear the candles pair so beautifully with your holders and that they arrived just as pictured. We put a lot of care into our beeswax and craftsmanship, so it means a lot to hear the quality shines through. I’m grateful you took the time to share your experience.
