Mandarin duck candles
Arrives in 4 to 12 business days Duties and taxes included.
Two mandarin ducks — wonang (원앙), the bird Koreans give in pairs at a wedding — cast as candles for LOFA Seoul's collaboration with the illustrator KIMI, whose drawing also wraps the box. Each candle is hand-painted: a colored cap, a yellow bill, a black tail, one red side and one blue, set so the pair faces inward as a couple. Because the painting is done by hand, the blocks of color sit a little differently on every duck.
Each duck is 11 × 8cm and 90g, scented with freesia — soft and clean, nearer soap than flower. They arrive in a house-shaped box printed with KIMI's drawing, finished for giving.
Burn them or keep them as objects. Displayed, keep them out of direct heat and sun so the wax holds its shape; the hand-painted areas — head, wing, tail — may chip a little with handling.
