Solid Black Marquina · Clyro
A piece of stone that outlives the candle inside it.
Most candle vessels become rubbish the day the wax runs out. This one is solid marble with a lid, so when the candle is gone you still own the object.
The stone
Cut, not printed.
A cylinder turned from solid Black Marquina marble, with a matching marble lid that sits flush. The stone is genuinely black with fine white veining.
Because it is cut from natural marble, the veining runs differently through every piece. Black marble also photographs differently on different screens.
After the candle
It keeps working.
Made to hold a candle and to keep working once the candle is gone — as a vessel for matches, for rings taken off at the table, or for nothing at all.
Heavy enough to stay where it is put. The lid closes flush, which keeps whatever is inside covered.
The object
Four things worth knowing.
01
Solid Black Marquina
Turned from solid stone rather than clad or veneered. Genuinely black, with the fine white veining the stone is known for.
02
A lid that sits flush
The lid is cut from the same marble and closes level with the rim. Closed, the piece reads as one turned cylinder rather than a pot with a hat on.
03
No two are the same
Natural marble is cut, not printed. The veining runs its own way through every piece, so the one that arrives will not match the photograph exactly.
04
A second life built in
Once the candle is out, it holds matches, or rings taken off at the table, or nothing at all. Heavy enough to stay where it is put.
No dimensions are published for this piece; we would rather leave them out than estimate.
When the wax is gone, the stone is still yours.
Where it earns its place
Two rooms it belongs in.
On a dressed table
Black stone against dark linen, lit low. It sits in the middle without blocking anyone's view across the table.
Beside the bath
The lid closes flush, which keeps whatever is inside covered when the room is not in use.
On a desk, after: its weight is the useful part. A stone cylinder with a lid stays exactly where you set it down.

Questions
Before you order.
Will mine look like the photographs?
Close, but not identical. It is cut from natural Black Marquina, so the veining runs differently through every piece. That is the trade you make for real stone instead of a print of it.
Is a candle included, and what scent?
We are not going to guess. The listing describes the vessel and its lid, and we have no candle specification to publish — no wax, scent or burn time. Ask us before you order if that is the deciding factor.
How big is it?
We do not have measured dimensions to give you, so we have left them out rather than invent them. It is a turned cylinder with a flush lid, heavy enough that it does not shift when nudged.
Is it just a candle holder?
No, and that is the argument for it. It was made to keep working once the wax is gone — matches, rings taken off at the table, or nothing at all.
How is it delivered?
It ships free. Most orders arrive within one to two weeks, with tracking from the moment the parcel is scanned.
