Candle jars

The Candle jars evolve to fashion industry status

Candle jars haven’t hit the catwalk just yet. But, candle jars have inspired an entire wardrobe of fashionable accessories. Candle companies have been quick to capitalize on the fashion frenzy surrounding candle jars. Accessories abound. And gift sets package candle jars with all the trimmings, in tempting combinations for special occasion gift-giving.

To begin with, the candle jars themselves are dressed to the nines. Available in clear glass, colored glass, etched and frosted glass, even hand-painted by talented artists, candle jars are decked out for the ‘home dec’ market.

Now for the accessories. The most in-vogue candle jars sport beautiful shades in ceramic, metal or fabric. Bedecked, bejeweled, spangled, carved, painted. Head gear for candle jars also serves the practical purpose of shading the light and capturing excess smoke emitted by burning.

And, when the fire is quenched? Toppers grace candle jars to prevent dust and debris from falling into the melted wax. But why be strictly utilitarian, when one may exhibit one’s good taste with hand-carved or beautifully molded figurines, applied to the sturdy cork topper lids?

Then, of course, one cannot forget footwear for candle jars. Candle plates create a perfect match with coordinating shades and decorative toppers to make candle jars fashionable and well-dressed from top to bottom.

Sisters to candle jars are tart burners and tea lamps, wreathed in floral garlands styled with dried natural botanicals and silk blossoms. The best-dressed homes will always devote proper attention to their candle jars’ accoutrements.

Yes…candle companies have been able to cleverly market wardrobes and accessories for candle jars, as a lovely add-on to one of the most popular segments of the home décor market.
