Specialty candles may be found in any three dimensional
shape imaginable. They can be molded or sculpted by
hand and are mostly for decorative use.
Floating candles have a low, stable profile and are designed to float on water. They vary in form from simple, smooth designs to elaborate, realistic shapes.

Dinner or Taper candles as they are also called, are
usually 3/4" to 1" in diameter, ranging from 6" - 18" tall.
Tapers need to be securely set in an appropriately designed
candle holder, which will keep them in an upright position
for proper and safe burning.
 |
Pillar candles are solid and self standing. Their
shapes are typically round, but also come in square,
rectangular, hexagonal, and other designs. Some may
have more than one wick. Heat resistant candle bases
or stands must be used.

|
Votive candles are normally 2 1/2" high and usually
square or cylindrical in shape. They are burned safely in
small, heat resistant, glass containers to control the
liquefied wax, as the candles burn.

|
Container or Filled candles are non-flammable, heat
resistant containers which are filled with wax and wick.
Containers such as heat resistant glass jars and ceramic
pottery are commonly used.

|
Tealight candles are usually about 1 1/2" in diameter
and around 3/4" high inside a cylindrical metal container.
These small filled candles are used in food warmers or
as candles in a tealight holder.
