How our candles are made
A Candle for Life
We wanted to create a candle too beautiful to throw away. One you would want on your shelf whether it was lit or not, illustrated by hand, made in fine china in Britain, finished with 22-carat gold. A candle you would light for reading, for relaxing, for the quiet moments that deserve something special. And when the wax ran out, we wanted you to simply refill it, with the same fragrance or a different one, and carry on. Not a candle you use and discard. A Candle for Life.
We have been making them this way since 2010. Small batches, skilled British chandlers, vegan soy wax, lead-free cotton wicks. Up to 90 hours of burn time in every ceramic. It is the only way we know how to make them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our luxury scented candles
What makes Chase and Wonder candles different?
We wanted to create a candle too beautiful to throw away. One you'd want on your shelf whether it was lit or not, illustrated by hand, made in fine china in Britain, finished with 22-carat gold. A candle you'd light for reading, for relaxing, for the quiet moments that deserve something special. And when the wax ran out, we wanted you to simply refill it, with the same fragrance or a different one, and carry on. Not a candle you use and discard. A Candle for Life.
Are the ceramic candles refillable?
Yes. Every Chase and Wonder ceramic candle is a Candle for Life, designed to be refilled and enjoyed indefinitely.
For single wick ceramics, simply order a candle refill (£40) in your chosen fragrance and it is sent straight to you. Many customers have been refilling the same ceramic for years.
For three wick ceramics, we offer a refill service (£80, UK only) where you send your empty vessel back to us, we refill it by hand and return it to you. We pour twice a year, in March and September, so places are limited. Glass candles are not refillable.
Why are Chase and Wonder candles so sustainable?
Several reasons, but the most significant is refillability. Every Chase and Wonder ceramic candle is what we call a Forever Ceramic, a vessel designed not just for one candle, but for a lifetime of them. When the wax runs out, you refill it. The ceramic stays. Many of our customers have been refilling the same vessel for years, which means no new packaging, no new ceramic, no waste.
Beyond that: our candles are made with vegan soy wax rather than paraffin, a renewable resource that burns cleanly without releasing toxins. The wicks are lead-free cotton. And everything is made in small batches in Britain, by small teams, without the waste of mass production.
A Chase and Wonder ceramic candle is one of the few things you can buy that genuinely gets more sustainable the longer you own it.
How long do the candles burn?
Our ceramic candles burn for up to 90 hours. Glass candles burn for 40-50 hours. Both use vegan soy wax and lead-free cotton wicks. To get the most from your candle, trim the wick to 3-5mm before each burn, and on the very first light allow the wax to pool all the way to the edge of the vessel. This prevents tunnelling.
What is the difference between the ceramic and glass candles?
Our ceramic candles (£68) are the flagship: 300g of vegan soy wax in a hand-decorated fine china vessel with 22-carat gold detailing, up to 90 hours burn time, refillable indefinitely. Our glass candles (£40) offer the same fragrances in a black glass vessel, 185g of soy wax, 40-50 hours burn time, not refillable. If you are buying as a gift or something to keep, the ceramic is the one.
How do I choose a fragrance online?
The best way is our Fragrance Sample Pack, 19 cards individually sprayed with each of our scents, sent to your door so you can try them all before committing. It includes a £10 discount code for any future order over £75.
If you would rather dive straight in, our five best sellers are The Land of Nod, The Alpine Lodge, The Tuscan Sunset, The Flower Lady, and The Library, a reliable place to start.
Are Chase and Wonder candles made in Britain?
Yes, everything is made in Britain. The ceramic vessels are hand-decorated in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, the heart of British pottery for over 300 years, by a small father-daughter team. The candles are hand-poured in small batches by skilled British chandlers. We have made our products this way since 2010.
Why do Chase and Wonder candles only use soy wax?
Soy wax is natural and renewable, where paraffin is a byproduct of petroleum refining. Soy burns more slowly and cleanly, giving our ceramic candles a burn time of up to 90 hours. It also carries fragrance more effectively, so the scent fills a room rather than sitting at the wick.
Why do Chase and Wonder never use paraffin or mineral wax?
Because it has no place in a candle you are going to live with. Paraffin wax releases toxins and soot when burned, it burns faster, and it carries fragrance poorly. We have never used it, and we never will. Every Chase and Wonder candle is made with vegan soy wax and a lead-free cotton wick. That is the only way we know how to make them.
Are Chase and Wonder candles good as a gift?
They are among the most-gifted products in our customers' repertoires, birthdays, Christmas, Mother's Day, housewarmings, and thank-you gifts are all common occasions. Every order arrives in a beautiful gift box as standard. If you need help choosing, our gift guide is a good starting point, or browse our gift sets for a ready-made combination.
Do your candles come gift boxed?
Yes, all of our candles arrive beautifully gift boxed as standard, whether you are buying for yourself or for someone else. No extra wrapping needed.
(although we do offer a gift wrapping service)
Can I send a candle directly to the recipient?
Yes. Simply enter the recipient's address at checkout. We never include pricing information in the package, so it arrives as a clean, beautifully presented gift.
