Our story is a little different from other candle companies.

Standard Wax didn't start with a dream to make candles, but instead with a vision for what could become of Andrew's gorgeous ceramic vessels. From the very beginning, our focus has been on creatating thoughfully designed ceramic containers for our candles to live in, and that's still our mission today.

That's why each vessel is specifically made to live on, long after the candle burns down. They can hold succulents and houseplants, spare change and screwdrivers, makeup brushes and desk accessories. We've paired handpoured, uniquely scented candles with artist-designed ceramic vessels to make a multipurpose piece of functional art.
