Brass candle holder for pillar candles – 60 mm candle cup

The Advent wreath is tied and the candles are ready. Then the first one wobbles as soon as you light it. The 60 mm brass candle holder cup holds standard candles, pillar candles and maxi tealights securely and upright. Dripping wax lands in the cup, not on the wood or tablecloth. Simply fit the 60 mm brass candle cup into your own build. You then have a finished brass candle holder for pillar candles, made for your next candle project.

What changes for you

• Your candles stand straight and secure, because the cup with an inner diameter of approx. 60 mm reliably holds standard candles, pillar candles and maxi tealights.
• No more scraping wax off wood, because the metal body catches dripping wax and cooled residue comes away easily.
• Your candle holder looks neat and tidy. The surrounding collar of approx. 4.5 mm finishes off the drilled hole cleanly, with no wobbling at all.
• Your craft projects fit precisely, because the fitting dimensions are clearly stated: approx. 62 mm for a flush fit, approx. 61 mm for a tight press fit.
• You can kit out bigger projects in one go, because the candle cup is available in sets of 4 to 100 pieces.

Why this candle cup makes a difference day to day

In the evening, when candlelight moves across the table, your eyes should rest on the flame. Not on crooked candles or wax stains. The brass candle cup takes care of these small annoyances. Every candle has its fixed place. The wreath or candlestick stays clean. And you can simply enjoy the cosy moment. In the workshop, it makes a difference too. It turns a simple wooden blank into a neat, safe candle holder.

Material & finish

The cup is made of tinplate with a brass-coloured lacquer finish. This gives you a classic brass tone that suits wood, natural materials and festive decorations alike. Smooth edges and clean workmanship are visible even when several cups sit side by side in a candle holder. The candle cup is made in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge), so it is a product made in Germany. Good to know for your planning: the material is not rustproof. The cup is therefore intended for indoor use.

How to use the candle cup

• When making an Advent wreath: place four cups into the drilled holes – and your candles stand straight and secure from the first to the fourth Sunday of Advent.
• On a Schwibbogen candle arch or a homemade candle holder: the cup finishes neatly with its collar, and your piece looks as if it were made in one.
• As a tealight holder on the windowsill, dining table or sideboard: pop in a maxi tealight, light it – and your mood lighting is ready, with no wax marks on the furniture.
• For woodworking and crafts: with the clear drilling dimensions, you can plan your candle decorations to fit exactly. You fit the cups without any reworking.
• For businesses in cafés, restaurants or at the Christmas market: with the larger sets, you can fit out lots of table candle holders uniformly and economically – and the tables are decorated in no time.

Good to know about candle cups

The Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) have been known for their tradition of lights for generations: Schwibbogen candle arches, candlesticks and candle decorations are an essential part of Advent and Christmas there. A candle cup made there therefore suits Advent wreaths, Schwibbogen arches and festive table decorations not only technically, but in its origins too.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do: use the cup indoors and keep it dry, and the brass-coloured surface will stay looking good for a long time – the tinplate is not rustproof. Cooled wax residue comes away from the metal cup much more easily than from wood or fabric, saving you work day to day.
