How To Reuse Your Provider Candle Vessels

13 February, 2025

Reuse and sustainability is an integral part of our provider ethos, and in the many years we've been selling our ceramic candles, the candle vessel has taken many forms. To answer one of our most asked questions: "How do you reuse your candle vessels?", we compiled a list of various ways we have reused the ceramic cup in our everyday lives. From tea cup to pot plant holder, the vessel's versatility and ability to adapt to many forms is endless!

01
Refill.
02
Pot plant.

The refill

We'll start with the most obvious... the refill. Clean out your cup and bring it back to our store for a refill, and let your candle live on forever more! Go for your favourite scent or try something new! Prices start at $17 and range depending on the size of the cup.

Plant pot

Create a beautiful ceramic pot for your small plants, especially good for those that don't need to be watered too often like succulents!

03
Miso soup.
04
Incense cup.

Soup cup

A great size for a cup of Miso soup or use it as your soba noodle dipping bowl.

Incense storage

A beautiful place to hold your incense sticks and boxes.

Dessert Cup

The perfect single serve dessert cup, ideal for ice cream, tiramisu or mousse!

Charcuterie board

A fun addition to a charcuterie board. Vessels are a great size for dips, breadsticks, carrot sticks, olives or whatever you'd like!

Tea cup

The perfect size for a cup of tea or coffee (a classic option abd one of our personal favourites).

05
Cheese board.
06
Tea cup.

Toothbrush holder

Pop one in the bathroom, and use it to hold your toothbrushes or to rinse!

Stationary

Store pens, pencils, scissors and other desk essentials.
