Inspiration
Candles were an important part of everyday life in the 18th century. Bayberry candles were among the most prized candles in colonial America because of their clear, more consistent light and pleasant scent. One of the first written accounts of bayberry candles was in 1698 and exclaimed that instead of "stinking," they "perfume like incense." A Virginian historian reported in 1705 that making bayberry candles was a very "modern discovery."

Candle purchase
They are annual purchase for family
-
not an exact fit
It can be challenging to find 3/8 inch taper candles, so I was really excited to find these to match with the small brass candleholder I purchased here. These are beautiful candles, but they seem just slightly larger in diameter than 3/8 inch. They had to be forced into the candleholder, which caused wax on the outside edges to crack slightly and fall off. They are workable and I'll use them, but won't likely purchase more when I run out.

Bayberry Wax Candles
Still great quality. They don't come in the nice box they used to come in with the little card telling you about the candles. However, they are still well made.
