Looking to elevate your home's ambiance with a touch of rustic elegance? Doughbowl candles make for that perfect home decor piece that is also functional in making your home smell incredible. At Ebony & Ivory Candle Co., we specialize in handcrafting, non-toxic candles made from 100% soy wax. Our doughbowl candles are no exception. Instead of being poured into sleek black and white jars, these candles are hand poured into hand carved dough bowls, in a variety of different shapes. Perfect for cozy evenings, thoughtful gifts, or simply indulging in self-care, our candles are a favourite among Canadians, especially in Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and across Southern Alberta.
