This cup was made by our friend Mint in Chiang Mai. Featuring a rustic brown glaze, reminiscent of Australian 70's style pottery and two pinched in sides to make for easy holding, this design is as great a candle as it is a cup.

Story

We first met Mint in 2014 when we visited her Bangkok store. We'd been fans of her work and shop in Khlong Toei (our favourite suburb in Bangkok) and thought we'd try our luck and turn up to see if she would like to work together. Fast forward six years, and we still get Mint and her workshop in Chiang Mai to make our ceramics today.

Ingredients & Craft

Our studio is located in Surry Hills, Sydney, where we pour each and every one of our candles by hand. We pure soy wax and boutique natural fragrances to craft our candles.

Each one is designed with sustainability in mind, the idea is once you finish burning your candle you can reuse the Japanese ceramic vessel. Simply remove the wick, wash with hot soapy water and use it as a tea or coffee cup, or bring it back to the store for a candle refill. We think candles should be burnt and enjoyed every day and not just saved for special occasions, so burn it, refill it or reuse it.
