Teacup Candle Package
Give Old Memories a New Glow ✨
Turn your treasured family teacups into beautiful, hand-poured soy wax candles that bring new life to old memories.
Whether they belonged to your grandmother, were part of a cherished family collection, or have simply been tucked away for years, those teacups deserve to be enjoyed again—not hidden in a cabinet or packed away in a box.
You can start with just two teacups. Keep one, gift one, or transform a whole collection into thoughtful keepsakes that let you share the memories without keeping all the china.
Return shipping included in your order.

meant to be adored, not stored

We'll help you give them a new purpose as beautiful, hand-poured candles you can appreciate them every day or share the memories with the ones you love.
Two Brooklyn Businesses. One Shared Belief.
For over five years, we've partnered with our friends at Glow to Grow, a fellow Brooklyn small business that shares our passion for sustainability and giving old things new life.
Together, we've created beautiful, meaningful candles in repurposed vintage china—from delicate teacups to oversized soup tureens—featuring signature fragrances, slow-burning soy wax, and gently crackling wooden wicks.
Now, we're bringing that same experience to your own treasured teacups, transforming them into candles you can enjoy, gift, refill, and reuse for years to come.
Because the best way to keep memories alive is to keep making new ones.

Most standard-sized porcelain and ceramic teacups are suitable for candle-making. Teacups should be free of cracks, chips, or repairs that could compromise their structural integrity. Factors involved in pouring and burning candles can put additional stress on fragile vessels, so it's important that your teacups be in good condition.

We aim to ship your finished candles approximately two weeks after receiving your teacups. Shipping transit times may vary.
Nope! We only need the teacups. Keep the matching saucers at home to display with your finished candles, unless you've arranged additional shipping with us to send them along as gifts.

Yes! Choose from our curated selection of Glow to Grow fragrances. Mix and match scents or choose the same one for every candle. How cool is that?
Trim your wooden wick to approximately ⅛ inch before each burn, keep your candle away from drafts, and always place it on a heat-resistant surface. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and stop burning when approximately ½ inch of wax remains.
We know these aren't just ordinary teacups—they often hold generations of memories, and we treat them with the care they deserve.
That said, shipping fragile vintage china and transforming them into candles does carry some risk of damage.
We'll provide detailed packing instructions to help your teacups travel safely and take every reasonable precaution while they're in our care.
