Beeswax is the best wax you can use! it acts as an air purifier and has a much higher melting point than any other wax meaning it lasts the longest :) These bowls are 5.5 x 9.5 x 1.5 inches in size They are hand carved and hand poured. The flowers are also made out of beeswax The wick will be the smaller of the two Please be advised: flower colors will not be exactly the same as the picture
