Crafted using the traditional method of the potter's wheel, each burner is handmade using stoneware clay in a small pottery studio in Dorset. Complete with a removable dish, this truly beautiful piece has been designed by Emily Preston.
Discover how this beautiful burner has been crafted by hand:
Each burner is carefully created to be both functional and beautiful. The nature of clay allows for a translucent finish, perfect for candlelight.
Once ‘thrown’ they are set aside and carefully surveyed to ensure they are shaped during the optimum condition. Shaping includes trimming excess clay from both the body and bowl, marking and cutting each side of the burner. They are then initially decorated with pleats and finished with a stamp of approval by the maker.
Once the burner is dry, it is ready for its first firing.
After 'throwing' and shaping, there is still a long journey ahead of each piece. Once dried, the burners are fired in an initial 1000 degree bisque firing. A bisque firing allows all of the water to be removed, they become less fragile to handle and they’re ready to absorb glaze.
To highlight the natural beauty of the clay, each burner is first decorated with a transparent glaze, made from scratch in Emma's studio.
Each burner is lifted piece by piece out of the bisque firing and dipped into the liquid glaze. Once the glaze dries onto the burner, it can be handled and placed into the kiln ready for its second and final firing.
The finishing touch...
Seeing a glossy, strong and elegant piece of handmade pottery emerge from a glaze firing is often the most exciting and rewarding stage as a maker. After hours of nurturing a potp into life, it is finally ready to be used and enjoyed. Of course, not every pot in the kiln survives the intense making process but the best of each stage has been brought forward to create burners for Tejomaya Candle co.
Please note,
although our images give a good indication as to the expected finish, this item is made entirely by hand and therefore the precise shape, size and glazing details may differ slightly between pieces.

For optimal burning, trim your wick to 5mm before each lighting to avoid smoking and overheating.
Always protect the surface on which the candle sits.
The first burn of any candle should be long enough for the entire top layer of wax to liquefy. This will ensure an even burn for each light.
We recommend trimming your candle wicks before each burn to 1/4 inch to maintain a healthy candle. A larger flame means more wax and scent is being consumed. Wick trimming will help with this issue. You may notice the flame is too high in your candle while burning.
Burn for a minimum of 2 hours and Refrain from burning candles longer than 4 hours at a time, and never burn a candle when there is less than 1cm of wax at the base.
Never leave a candle burning unattended or within reach of drafts, pets, or small children. Ensure plenty of space above and around the candle when burning.
The candle jar will be hot after burning, so allow the wax to cool completely before handling.
Extinguish immediately if the flame becomes big or smokes excessively. Once the flame is extinguished make sure the wick is upright and centred.
Avoid contact with skin, and despite it smelling good enough to eat, you should resist the urge!!
Once the candle's finished, reuse it! Clean it out and, you've got a new planter or pencil holder – or whatever you want.
To note:
- All of our products are made to order + made by hand. Variations are expected + perfectly okay! Unique is good! :)
Due to the change in temperate going into the colder months, the candles may not have perfect glass adhesion. This is absolutely nothing to worry about as it does not affect the candle whatsoever in terms of its scent or burn.
