The Sofia Candle Tall is a handcrafted scented candle poured into a cylindrical cast stone vessel, made in India by ModVilla. In the photograph, ribbons of violet and plum marbling sweep across the soft white stone, framing a creamy wax pour and a single centred wick.

The vessel measures 8 x 8 x 8.5 cm (3.15 x 3.15 x 3.35 inches) and weighs around 480 gms. Once the wax is spent, the cast stone cylinder lives on as a planter, brush pot or catch-all, and a Sofia Candle Refill drops straight in. You can personalise the vessel in 18 colours plus marbling and terrazzo patterns through the on-page customiser.

Each vessel is cast and hand-finished to order in our Gurugram atelier and dispatches in 3 to 5 days. Trim the wick before lighting and wipe the stone clean with a soft damp cloth.
