Made of iron with a powder coated Black finish on exterior and Gold finish on interior. Trim wick to 1/4 each time before lighting. Always place your candle on a fireproof surface or holder. Never burn a candle completely, and dispose of it when it burns to within 1/2 of its base or the holder. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Dust holder with soft, dry cloth. We do not recommend using harsh household chemicals as they can damage the finish. Thank you for shopping with me! I add new things every day!
