The Tales of the Fiery River collection intertwines the imagery of the mythical fiery river with the rivers we encounter in life. Staritsa (from the rus. oxbow lake) refers to a crescent-shaped section of an old riverbed, echoing the silhouette of the Rosinki candle, which 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 in the river water, as if released by a fish while you stand on the shore, catching 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.
