Elevate Your Space with Handmade Pottery Candles from Tildy Candle Co.
A Candle that Feels Like Home
Each Tildy Candle begins with a vision of comfort and beauty. From the clean, eco-friendly soy wax to the stunning hand-thrown ceramic vessels, these candles are designed to transform everyday routines into meaningful rituals.
Crafted in small batches in Columbus, Ohio, Tildy Candle Co. combines time-honored craftsmanship with modern sensibilities. Their signature pottery collection—featuring exclusive collaborations with ceramic artists like Linnea Campbell—celebrates intentional design. Vessels are hand-thrown with care, glazed in earthy, timeless tones, and detailed with subtle elements like etched owls or botanical motifs.
When the candle is lit, the soft flicker of the flame highlights the texture and depth of the ceramic. It’s more than fragrance—it’s atmosphere.
A Sensory Journey Through Signature Scents
Every Tildy pottery candle is infused with carefully curated fragrances that evoke emotion, memory, and a sense of place. These aren’t overpowering or artificial—they’re soft, balanced, and made for real living.
Take Meadow Thistle, for example. Inspired by wild fields and clean air, this fragrance blends eucalyptus, wild thistle, and moss into a fresh, green scent that feels like an open window on a breezy spring morning.
Other customer favorites include:
-
Butterscotch Bourbon – Rich and comforting, with notes of brown sugar, warm vanilla, and aged bourbon.
-
Eucalyptus Mahogany Teakwood – A blend of cool eucalyptus and rich, woodsy base notes for a calming, spa-like vibe.
-
Pawsitively Fresh – Designed for pet lovers, this odor-eliminating candle neutralizes scents while filling your home with a crisp, clean aroma.
Tildy candles are made using phthalate-free fragrance oils and lead-free cotton wicks, offering a clean, safe burn that’s gentle even for those with sensitivities.
The Beauty of Reuse: Functional Art for Everyday Living
What makes Tildy’s handmade pottery candles truly stand out is the intentional reuse of each vessel. Once your candle has burned its last hour (many offer 50+ hours of burn time), the vessel is just beginning its second life.
Here are a few creative ideas for repurposing your ceramic candle jar:
-
Use it as a wine or cocktail cup (most are food-safe and dishwasher-safe).
-
Fill with soil and create a mini planter for succulents or herbs.
-
Repurpose as a desk organizer for pens or makeup brushes.
-
Keep it as a catch-all bowl for keys, jewelry, or coins.
-
Let it serve as a decorative piece on a bookshelf or nightstand.
Cleaning out your candle is simple: freeze the vessel for a few hours to pop out leftover wax, then wash with hot water and soap. It’s an eco-conscious approach to luxury that supports both beauty and sustainability.
Sustainability Meets Style
In a world of fast, disposable products, Tildy Candle Co. stands for something different: sustainable home décor that doesn’t sacrifice aesthetics or quality.
Their 100% soy wax is made from renewable resources and burns cleaner than traditional paraffin. Their small-batch production ensures attention to detail, less waste, and a personal touch in every item. And their local partnerships with ceramic artists help support a community of makers who believe in craftsmanship over mass production.
Choosing a Tildy candle is choosing a more thoughtful way to enjoy scent and ambiance in your home.
Candle Care Tips for a Better Burn
To get the most from your Tildy Candle, follow these simple care tips:
-
Trim your wick to ¼ inch before each burn to prevent soot and extend burn time.
-
Let the wax melt fully across the surface during the first burn to avoid tunneling.
-
Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.
-
Stop using your candle once ½ inch of wax remains to prevent overheating the vessel.
These tips help your candle burn evenly and safely while maximizing its lifespan.
