Oversized sculptural poinsettia candle featuring a dense arrangement of dimensional red flowers and dark green leaves set into a gold and bronze-tone flowerpot, dating approximately to the mid-1990s.
The substantial wax centerpiece is intricately modeled with layers of poinsettia petals, individually formed leaves and contrasting flower centers. The flowers emerge from a sculptural gold-tone base formed as a wrapped flowerpot, creating the appearance of a large potted poinsettia arrangement. The molded wax elements appear hand-assembled and hand-finished.
Exceptionally large and heavy for a decorative candle, the piece measures approx. 10 x 10 in. and weighs approximately 8 lb 6 oz. It remains unburned with the original wick intact.
The design has been identified as a Poinsettia Candle by Delicates, a scented candle brand associated with Seasons, Inc. during the mid-1990s. Original Delicates labeling for this design identifies the fragrance as Floral and gives an approximate 200-hour burn time.
Good vintage condition and unburned with original wick intact. Close up shows age-related surface wear, scuffing, paint loss and small losses/chipping to the dimensional wax flowers and decoration. Please review close-up photos for condition.
