These are our tiniest candles: beeswax candles, dipped by hand in Germany. Not quite 1 1/2" tall and just a smidge over 3/8" wide at the base. They are real candles, but their use mainly is ornamental, in old Christmas decorations from Germany: diminutive angels that hold tiny candles like these. If you do light these, then, as with all candles, take care in use. Burn in a draft-free spot, and do not burn unattended. Package of 12 handmade beeswax candles. Made in Germany.
