These candlesticks recreate the effect of dripping wax with intricate faux wax made out of fine bone china. I am particularly fond of the idea that your real candle drips can add to those of the fake candle wax. This is a piece of artistic china which you can add to and watch grow over time.
These are designed by British / Japanese designer Reiko Kaneko. His other works are similarly inspired by 'real' effects. He has also created plates that appear to be cracked and made cups marked with fake lipstick.
