Once the wax is gone, the same ceramic cup goes on pouring, olive oil this time, with its single hand-painted olive and leaf still marking the front. Paddywax calls the cup food safe, so its second life starts as soon as the first ends.

The Bistro line pairs each candle with its own illustrated scene, and this one leans into a Mediterranean pantry, olives, lemon and bread painted across the box that also holds the cup.

• 8 oz of soy wax, poured into a rounded ceramic cup, with notes of poppy and eucalyptus.
• Cup is food safe, ready for oil or a small pour once the candle is finished.
• One olive and leaf, hand-painted, on the front of the cup.
• Packaged in a two-part sliding box printed with olive branches and bread.
