The Advent wreath is tied and the pillar candles are ready. Now all you need is a secure hold, so no wax drips onto wood or the tablecloth. With the 51mm brass candle holder, your candle sits firmly in a candlestick, floral arrangement or mood light. Use it for your Advent wreath or your next craft project.
What changes for you
- You protect furniture and decorations from wax stains, as the candle sits securely in the cup with an inner height of approx. 17 mm.
- You're free to choose your candles, as the inner diameter of approx. 51 mm takes standard and pillar candles up to 51 mm in diameter.
- You can also use the shallow cup as a tea light holder – pop in a tea light, let it burn down, swap it out, done.
- Your homemade piece looks neat, as the approx. 4 mm collar all round covers the drilled hole tidily.
- Your decorations gain a warm glow – thanks to the brass-coloured finish, which goes beautifully with wood and festive table decorations.
Why this candle cup makes a difference day to day
A candle that wobbles or drips wax spoils the calm at a laid table. If it sits firmly in its holder, you can relax and enjoy the evening. There's no scraping wax off the wood after dinner. Using the same holders in your wreath, candlestick and lantern keeps the look calm and consistent. That way, the candle flame draws the attention.
Material & finish
The candle cup is made of tinplate with a brass-coloured lacquer finish. The clean workmanship from the Erzgebirge ensures precise dimensions – which pays off when you want to fit the cup into a prepared hole: for flush fitting with the collar resting on the surface, allow for a hole of approx. 53 mm; for a firm press fit, approx. 52 mm. As the material is not rust-proof, the cup is for indoor use – where it will keep its brass-coloured shine for a long time.

How to use the candle cup
- When making a wooden candlestick: insert the cup into the hole, add the candle – and the wax stays where it belongs instead of soaking into the wood.
- On an Advent wreath: work in four cups, and your pillar candles stand safe and straight every Sunday of Advent.
- As a tea light holder in a lantern: pop in a tea light and swap it in seconds once it has burnt down – your mood light stays clean.
- In a café or restaurant: matching cups on every table create a well-kept look and make changing candles between guests a quick flick of the wrist.
- For crafting and woodturning: the dimensionally accurate cup can be pressed in or fitted flush – your piece looks all of a piece.
Good to know about candle cups
The Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) has been known for generations for its candlelight traditions during Advent and Christmas – candlelight traditionally goes hand in hand with candle arches, Christmas pyramids and candlesticks there. A candle cup made in the Erzgebirge therefore fits naturally into homemade candle holders, Advent wreaths and festive table decorations.
Care & durability
There's not much you need to do: use the cup indoors and keep it dry – as the tinplate is not rust-proof, this helps you avoid corrosion. Once cooled, wax residue comes out of the smooth cup easily, so it looks neat again with every new candle.
