This is a beautifully simple way to mark the days of Advent. We light our advent candle each evening during dinner, and burn the taper down just enough to mark each passing December night. The design, by Alison Gardiner, features holly and ivy and mistletoe, too, with a few cute birds flitting here and there. It takes about 30 minutes to burn from one day's marker to the next. Total burn time is about 10 hours. Candle holder not included. Made in England. 11 1/2" tall.

Candle holder not included, but we do offer a lovely simple metal that you may use to hold your Advent candle. As with all candles, take care in use. Burn in a draft-free spot, and do not burn unattended.
