Straight Sided Votive Cup

These are perfect for burning the votive candles in. They are nice for a small space like the spare bathroom. They make a nice addition to a homemade gift basket also.

Advantages: Cheap

Disadvantages: Small not for burning in larger areas. You won't get a nice throw in a large room.

In my opinion as a former candle shop owner, it is imperative to use a straight sided votive cup in which to burn votive candles to get the greatest extent of the candle's burn capability with little or no unused wax - the biggest bang for the buck!

Advantages: See above comment. Safety is another big advantage, i.e. total containment of burning wax.

Disadvantages: If the votive cup is of poor quality, a cup may easily crack with heat of the burning candle, so, as with all burning candles, attention is also essential.
