Product Details & OriginThe Brand: Lorelei Candles is a well-known local shop in the Historic Great Smoky Mountains Arts & Crafts Community in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. They have been handcrafting specialty keepsake candles since 1979.  Craftsmanship: The shop creates original figure lines (such as their LP Production series) by first sculpting a design in clay, making a silicone mold, pouring the wax, and then individualizing each piece by hand-painting the details.  The Design: This specific candle depicts a tropical parrot or macaw resting on a simulated tree limb base, molded entirely out of high-melt-point paraffin wax. A small wick is visible at the very top of the bird's head.Because these items are molded and painted individually by hand, no two pieces feature the exact same coloration or pattern, making it a unique collector's keepsake.  Very good vintage condition  Wick is unburned  Colors are vibrant, my lighting wasn’t the best at the time of the photo so if you need an updated brighter one just message me
