Who We Are
Let me introduce you to the Great Texas Candle Company. The candles that our family creates are limited-production candles, crafted using hand-sculpted stoneware, hand-poured soy wax, and a blend of the finest fragrances representing the beauty and majesty of the great state of Texas.
It is our hope that you will see in each candle the attention to detail and care that went into creating it. Our inspiration comes from the beautiful hill country, the plains, the ocean breeze and open prairies found in our great state.
Wonderful Candles in Reusable Containers
You’ll find most of our candles and containers have unique names and characteristics reminiscent of memories and experiences that are distinctively Texas. It is our hope that these candles will bring back many treasured memories from the past that you cherish from your own recollections.
But our candles are much more than simply candles. Our handmade mugs or bowls are designed to be reused after the candle is gone. See below for instructions on how to clean out your container to reuse it for your morning coffee or tea, soup, chili, or anything else you can think of.
Enjoy the candle for a time. Enjoy the container for a lifetime!
