jar candles

Glass-contained wax lights

Jar candles are candles poured directly into glass jars, which serve as both container and holder.

The jar contains melted wax as the candle burns, making them safer and less messy than taper or pillar candles.

They're popular for home fragrance: She lit a jar candle that smelled like vanilla.
