taper candle

Slender dinner candle

A taper candle is a long, slender candle that gradually narrows toward the top.

Tapers are the classic candle shape—meant to stand upright in holders or candelabras, used for dining tables, religious ceremonies, and formal occasions: She lit the taper candles before the guests arrived.
