Brass candle plate & candle cup – drip catcher, 10–22 mm

You've brought the pyramid down from the loft and laid out the candles – and then a candle cup is missing, or wax drips onto the wood. With these candle holders made of brass-coloured tinplate and the matching drip catchers, your candlelight shines right where it belongs again: on the windowsill, on the candle arch, in the Advent wreath. In six sizes from 10 to 22 mm, you'll find the candle cup that looks as if it was made for your favourite piece.

What changes for you

• Your candle sits securely and straight, because the opening of the cup is matched precisely to the candle's thickness – from the slim 10 mm doll's candle to the 22 mm Advent candle.
• Your table, candle arch and arrangement stay clean, because the drip catcher reliably catches any wax running down.
• You'll find the right size for every project, because there are six diameters to choose from (10, 12, 14, 17, 20 and 22 mm).
• Choose the set and there's no measuring and no getting it wrong – the candle cup and drip catcher share the same diameter and are guaranteed to fit together.
• You can kit out bigger projects too, such as Advent wreaths for sale or a whole collection of pyramids, as quantities from 4 to 100 are available.

Why these candle cups make a difference in everyday life

A single missing candle cup often decides whether the inherited pyramid shines at Advent or stays in its box. With the right brass-look candle cup, you can restore your piece in just a few minutes – and light the candles without worrying about wax stains on wood or tablecloth. Your repair project turns back into a cosy evening in warm candlelight.

Material & finish

The candle sockets and drip catchers are made of brass-coloured tinplate. The warm gold tone suits Christmas decorations, on a candle arch as well as on an Advent arrangement. The edges are smooth and neatly finished. They are made in Germany, in the tradition of the Ore Mountains.

How to use the candle cups

• Restoring an heirloom: a new candle cup on the old pyramid from the Erzgebirge – and the family piece shines at Advent just like it used to.
• Making an Advent wreath: push the candle cup into the greenery, pop the candle in – it stands straight, and the drip catcher protects your table and tablecloth from wax.
• On the candle arch on the windowsill: matching brass-look candle cups replace missing parts, and the warm light greets passers-by through the window once again.
• As an extra for a birthday gift with candle decorations: the 12 mm candle cup holds the birthday candle securely until the last wish has been blown out.
• In floristry, in the workshop or at a market stall: with tiered quantities of up to 100 pieces, you can equip Advent arrangements and wreaths for the whole season. All in the same gold tone, neatly presented.

Good to know about candle cups

Candle arches and pyramids have their roots in mining in the Erzgebirge: the light in the window showed miners the way home during the dark months. Because many of these pieces are passed down through generations, matching replacement candle cups are still a classic candle accessory today – so your heirloom stays ready for use, too.

Can I buy candle cups and drip catchers separately? Yes. Both parts are available individually – or as a set with candle cup and drip catcher in the same diameter.

Which types of candle are the cups suitable for? For doll's candles (10 mm), birthday candles (12 mm), pyramid candles (14 and 17 mm), household candles (20 mm) and Advent candles (22 mm).

What are the candle holders made of? Brass-coloured tinplate with a neat finish, made in Germany.

Are larger quantities available for craft projects or trade use? Yes, candle cups, drip catchers and sets can be ordered per diameter in quantities from 4 to 100.

In the end, it's not about a piece of gold-toned tinplate. It's about the evening when the pyramid is lit again and the candlelight drifts through the room – without a single wax stain. Simply choose your size and quantity at Bütic.
