White Ash Taper Candleholder
Thoughtfully hand-turned from a solid piece of pale white ash by Katherine Wesselman, this candleholder's simple yet elegant form that reveals the beautiful grain of the wood. This piece is one-of-a-kind, turned by hand on a lathe passed down to the artist by her father. Wesselman's attention to detail is clear in the design of the base which allows the form to float above the surface. Through clever design, she made a candle that practically floats!
- Sold individually as a single candleholder
- Hand-turned from solid white ash wood, smooth sanded finish
- The base is signed by the artist
- 2-1/8" diameter x 3.75" high, fits standard tapers

- The smooth and long fibers of linen help resist dirt and stains.
- It gets better with age and softens the more it is washed.
- Linen absorbs water quickly and dries quickly.
- It is durable and strong, lint-free and resistant to pilling.
- Linen can withstand high temperatures.
- It is inherently eco-friendly. Flax has a short growing cycle, is quickly renewable, and every part of the plant is used.
Tea Towels
- Machine wash in cool to warm water.
- Use a mild detergent, no bleach.

- For natural or colored linen, it’s best not to hang in bright sunlight to avoid fading.
- Ironing is optional, and much easier to do while your apron is still damp. Use a hot iron with plenty of steam or a spray of water.

Stains

- Pre-soaking in mild detergent is very effective in lifting stains.
- Never use chlorine bleach which may damage the fibers.
