Hand Painted Terracotta Candles
Cazuelas Collection
The word "cazuela" comes from the Spanish word for "cooking pot" and is commonly used to describe a casserole dish. The pot itself symbolizes a sense of home-cooked comfort, representing family gatherings and shared meals.
About Angeles
“Candelas” is the Spanish name for Candles, and “Angeles” is my middle name. Hence, CANDELAS by Angeles.
The idea to make candles started a few years ago, when my daughter suggested I make my own. I loved the thought of combining my favorite fragrances with decorative pieces. After an interesting journey, I found the perfect blend of scented candles housed in terracotta containers.
I bring most of these earthy vessels from a pottery town in El Salvador, where I select my favorite shapes and add my own artistic touch.
Now, painting, testing fragrances, and pouring candles is a labor of love to craft something that pampers your senses and adds a unique touch of warmth to your home. Look around. You'll like what you see.
Have a fragrance-full day!

About Terracotta
The term comes from the Italian dictionary, meaning "baked-earth".
Terracotta vessels are known for their rustic charm and simple elegance.
They bring a touch of nature indoors, and their classic look works well in both traditional and contemporary settings. They evoke a sense of warmth, history, and simplicity, making them a popular choice for decorative use. A perfect balance between the traditional and the modern, the rough and the refined.
I absolutely loved how these candles looked, and was so pleased with them I had to order more! The natural waxes burn so clean and the scents have been pleasant not overbearing at all. The cool little wood wicks burn very nicely and help melt the whole face. These will be going...

Great craftsmanship, smells so good, shipped quick and arrived well packed. My wife loves it and looks forward to show and tell to her family on Thanksgiving dinner.
