Bobéche is pronounced as
"Bow-besh",
is a French invention circa 1897.
These Bobeche are fine glass rings from
Germany that measure about 2-3/4" in diameter with a hole in the
center to fit around a standard 7/8" taper candle and are
concaved. As the wax, from a burning candle, dribbles down the
side of the candle it is collected in the cup of the glass Bobeche. Stopping the wax here will save you allot of trouble
cleaning your candle holder and worse, cleaning your table cloth.
There is a wide variety of Bobeche designs to chose from and some are for the
Christmas season. The designs are permanently fused to the
glass during a firing process and some are etched into the glass, so the wax will not harm the image.
Glass Bobeche give a touch of class to
any table setting from casual to elegant. Leaving the
Bobeche on your candle holder all the time will add to the beauty of the
holder and they are more protected there than in a drawer.
Note, Caution:
These Bobeche are glass and fragile and if broken
may cut you. Handle with care.
