In the Tales of the Fiery River collection, the images of the mythical fiery river intertwine with the rivers we encounter in life. Staritsa (from the Russian word for oxbow lake) refers to a section of an old riverbed, shaped like a crescent, which mirrors the outline of the Rosinki candle that forms the foundation of the set. The Rosinki candle is inspired by dewdrops on the first spring grass.
The second candle in the set, Puziriki, evokes the image of air bubbles rising from a fish in the river, while you stand on the shore, capturing them with your gaze.
• Svetlica candles are crafted from natural beeswax sourced from local independent beekeepers. The wax is often manually purified, which means that small dark specks may appear in the candles. These are natural particles that remained in the wax during the transformation of plant nectar into beeswax.
• Each candle is handmade without the use of molds, following the centuries-old technique of poured candles. This makes every candle slightly unique, with subtle differences in shape, weight, and the character of its dot pattern.
