Hand Poured Candle Appraisal

Lake Superior Agate Scented Candle

This item is a scented candle presented in a clear glass jar, accompanied by a separate wooden lid. The glass jar is cylindrical with thick walls, appearing to be made of clear, possibly recycled, glass judging by the slight variations in clarity and subtle bubbles, though it maintains a generally smooth surface. Inside the jar, at the bottom, there is a layer of small, naturally colored stones and pebbles, simulating a natural lakebed, visible through the clear liquid wax that fills the upper portion of the container. A label adhered to the side of the jar features the prominent text "Lake Superior Agate" in an elegant, cursive script, along with a patterned design resembling agate slices or abstract floral motifs in gray and white. Below the main title, smaller text indicates scent notes: "BERGAMOT • ROSEMARY MINT • WOODS" and clarifies it's "Produced by Devonian Coast". The wooden lid is circular, made of light-colored, possibly birch or maple, wood with a visible grain pattern. It has a slightly raised rim on its underside, designed to fit snugly into the opening of the glass jar. The lid's surface is smooth and appears unfinished or lightly sealed, showcasing the natural wood. No visible damage such as chips or cracks in the glass or wood is apparent. The candle appears unused, as the wax level is full and clear, and there's no visible soot. The overall aesthetic suggests a contemporary, nature-inspired design, likely manufactured within the last decade. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, focusing on natural materials and a clean, minimalist design.
