Freaky Human Head Candle

Little Joseph Candles

Tell me which is more freaky: the baby-head porcelain candle holder (check out the faint cheek blushes even!), or the fact that when you plop a fat candle on it and burn it, the wax drip runs down the head and becomes the … “hair”?

Little Joseph is a hand-painted, porcelain candle holder. We can’t decide if he’s sinister or sweet. Part of that will certainly depend on what you decide to do with his hair. Use dripless candles if you’d like to keep him bald, otherwise, give him pure white locks, beeswax locks, or hair in several shades of the rainbow.

Nonetheless, damn cool!

    Sinister. Nothing sweet about putting a stick in a baby head or letting hot wax drip down it. This is in league with the Jason Meyer’s white mask (shudder).

    Where/how can I buy these?
    I think the design is so unique.
    Who doesn’t love a creepy kid?

    That is definitely one crazy looking candle. I think it would make a great halloween decoration!

    Wow! personally I think they are both creepy, but it is oddly hillarious that the wax dripping down the head from the candle makes it look like it has hair!

    If i walked into a coffee shop or something and came across one of those heads at my table I think i would run away fast!
