Advent wreath candle holder – silver cup 60 mm, Erzgebirge

It gets dark early outside, and indoors you want things to feel warm and calm – a candle on the table, one in a home-made candlestick, one in the Advent arrangement. To keep your candles standing safely and stop wax running onto wood or the tablecloth, you need a reliable candle holder you can set into your piece: this silver-coloured cup with a 60 mm inner diameter is made for your own candle ideas. Just drill, pop it in – and a wooden slice becomes a candle holder.

What changes for you

• Your candles stand securely and don't drip onto the surface below – because the cup reliably holds standard candles, pillar candles and maxi tealights up to 60 mm in diameter.
• You can build without wobbles and without a visible drill edge – because the surrounding rim of approx. 4.5 mm sits neatly over the drill hole and covers everything.
• You can bring your own ideas to life, from candlesticks to mood lighting – because the flat design, with a total height of only approx. 16 mm, sits discreetly when set into wood and other materials.
• Whether it's a festive table, an Advent wreath or a windowsill – the silver-coloured surface blends in quietly instead of taking centre stage.
• You stay flexible even on large projects – because the cups come in sets of 4 to 100.

Why this candle holder makes a difference every day

A candle that stands firm and straight turns any evening at the table into a calmer moment – no checking on the wax, no straightening, no keeping a watchful eye. When you're crafting with wood slices or making your Advent wreath, the recessed cup takes away the worry that something might tip over or leave marks. So candlelight gives you exactly what you want from it: warmth and cosiness.

Material & finish

The cup is made of silver-coloured tinplate and neatly finished: smooth edges, a precise shape and a reliable fit – you'll notice it as soon as you put it in. It's made in the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains), a region with a long tradition of candle and woodcraft. Please note: the material is not rustproof, so the cup is for indoor use only – there it will keep its neat look for many years.

How to use the candle holder

• During Advent: set the cup into your wreath or arrangement – and your candles stand straight and secure for all four weeks, with no wax running into the greenery.
• For craft projects: you drill a 62 mm hole in a wood slice and insert the candle cup. The collar covers the edge of the hole. Your homemade candle holder looks as if it were made in one piece.
• At the dining table: a maxi tealight in the cup, and dinner gets a soft, calm light – with no worries about marks on the wood.
• In a café or restaurant: fit your tables with mood lights that can be swapped in seconds – tidy, safe and without wax residue on the tabletop.
• For parties and celebrations: in lanterns and table decorations, the recessed cup makes sure every candle stays in place, even with lots of guests around.

Good to know about the Erzgebirge

For generations, the Erzgebirge has been known for its light and woodcraft – candle arches, Christmas pyramids and candlesticks from the region are a firm part of Christmas for many families. A cup made there is a particularly good match for anything you build from wood yourself: it connects your own piece with a little bit of this tradition.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do: keep the cup dry and use it indoors only, and the silver-coloured finish will stay looking good. Once the wax has cooled, simply lift out any residue – and the cup is ready to use again straight away.
