Will my glassware look exactly the same as the images online?
We have worked hard to ensure all imagery on our website showcases each product with the highest degree of accuracy. However, due to the transparent nature of glass and the fact that each piece has been hand blown, there may be slight discrepancies in either shape or colour.
These variances are inherent to the charm of hand made products, and are not to be considered as faults.
How do I care for my Maison Balzac glassware products?
Though all our glassware is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with a soft bristle brush, as these are precious pieces!
Avoid using any strong alkali soaps, as these may damage the glass. Take care not to bump glassware against hard surfaces or other vessels during cleaning.
How to I care for my Maison Balzac candle?
The first burn is the most important as it sets the burn memory! When lighting for the first time, ensure the candle is alight long enough for an even wax pool to develop to the edge of the vessel.
To ensure an even burn and the best scent throw experience, be sure to trim each wick down to 5mm in length before each use. After extinguishing the flame, make sure each wick stands upright.
Never burn a candle for longer than 2 hours, or when the wax level reaches less than 2cm from the vessel base.
