These taper candles are coated with a beautiful metallic finish. They add a touch of elegance to any gathering! Due to the nature of the dipping process involved in making taper candles, base size may vary. A candle shaper and/or wax candle fitters may be necessary to ensure a good fit into a standard holder. There are 12 tapers to a set. Comes in your choice of gold, silver, or red. Unfortunately, sets cannot be split by colors.
