Hammered Oval Gold Urli | 5x3x2.5 Inch | Pack of 1 - Candle Making Brass Bowl

Overview

Pour your wax straight into the bowl and skip the vessel hunt entirely. This is a oval urli with a hammered dimpled surface in a warm gold finish, measuring 5 x 3 x 2.5 Inch, built as a candle container rather than a decoration you pour into as an afterthought. Brass takes the heat without warping, and the gold catches the flame once the candle is lit. Sold singly.

Specifications

Ideal For

• Diwali, pooja and festive decorating
• Home candle makers who want a finished metal vessel
• Wedding and event decorators
• Small businesses building gift sets

Creative Uses and Project Ideas

Perfect for:

• Soy, paraffin and gel wax poured candles
• Single and multi wick decorative candles
• Diwali and wedding gift candles
• Centrepiece candles for a festive table
• Reusing the bowl for dry fruit or flowers once the wax is gone

Compatibility

Works with: soy wax, paraffin wax, beeswax and gel wax poured hot, pre waxed wicks with a metal sustainer, candle dyes and fragrance oils.

Pairs well with: floating flowers and water for a traditional urli display, rangoli colours, and matching urlis in other sizes for a grouped arrangement.

Not suitable for: food or drink use, since no food grade rating is stated for this urli. Not for oven or hob use. The metal gets hot in use, so never sit it directly on polished wood, cloth or plastic.

How to Use

1. Wash the urli in warm soapy water and dry it fully, since any water left behind will spoil the wax.
2. Stick the wick centrally on the base with a wick sticker and hold it upright with a centring bar.
3. Melt your wax, stir in colour and fragrance off the heat, and pour slowly down the inside wall.
4. For a wide bowl use two or three wicks spaced evenly, or the middle will tunnel while the edges stay solid.
5. Let it set at room temperature, away from a fan, then top up any dip with a second thin pour.
6. Trim the wick to about 5 mm before the first burn.
7. Sit the urli on a coaster or trivet in use, because metal passes the heat straight through to the surface below.

Before You Buy

• Sold as the brass urli only. Wax, wick, tealights and diyas are not included.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this urli?

It measures 5 x 3 x 2.5 Inch. That is wide enough for two or three wicks if you want an even melt pool.

How is this different from the round urlis, which are smaller and plain surfaced?

Shape is the real difference, since both are the same gold finished brass and both sit flat. Pick the outline that suits your table, and group two or three sizes together for a fuller display.

Can I pour hot wax into it?

Yes. This one is sold as a candle container, and metal takes wax at normal pouring temperature without warping. Fit the wick first and sit the urli on a trivet while it sets.

Will it tarnish?

No coating or plating detail is published for this urli, so we cannot promise how the finish ages. Keep it dry, wipe it with a soft cloth rather than a scourer, and store it wrapped between festivals.
