dipped candles
Repeatedly coated tapers
Dipped candles are candles made by repeatedly dipping a wick into melted wax, building up layers with each pass.
The method produces the classic tapered shape and predates molded candles.
The term distinguishes handcrafted candles from those made by pouring wax into forms: She learned to make dipped candles at the historical village.
