Price’s White Venetian Taper Dinner Candles 10″ • Pack of 10 • Up to 7 Hours

Elegant, classic and made for beautifully dressed tables, these Price’s White Venetian Taper Dinner Candles combine a traditional tapered shape with solid white wax coloured throughout.

Supplied in a pack of 10, each candle measures approximately 10″ / 25.4cm high × 2.2cm diameter and is designed to burn for up to 7 hours under suitable conditions.

Unlike cheaper over-dipped candles, the white colour runs through the wax itself, helping the candle retain a consistent appearance as it burns. Their unscented finish also makes them particularly useful for dining, weddings, Christmas tables, romantic dinners and special occasions where fragrance could compete with food or surrounding scents.

Classic White Taper Candles for Dining & Events

These Price’s Venetian candles have the traditional proportions people expect from white taper candles and dinner candles.

Their long, slender shape adds height and rhythm to a table without taking up much surface space, making them especially useful in candlesticks, candelabras and formal table settings.

The clean white colour also gives them broad styling appeal, whether used for a simple dinner at home or a larger wedding or seasonal event.

Coloured Throughout, Not Just Over-Dipped

One of the more useful differences in this Venetian range is that the candles are coloured throughout the wax.

Rather than relying on a coloured outer layer over a contrasting core, the solid white appearance continues through the candle.

That gives the candles a more consistent finish as they burn and helps distinguish them from lower-cost over-dipped alternatives.

Unscented Dinner Candles

Because these candles are unscented, they are particularly well suited to dining spaces.

They provide the atmosphere and warm light of a traditional table candle without introducing additional fragrance around food, wine or flowers.

They are also useful where several candles are being burned together or where the surrounding décor already includes incense, diffusers or other scented products.

Up to 7 Hours Burn Time

Each candle is designed to burn for up to approximately 7 hours under suitable conditions.

Actual burn time will vary according to wick length, draughts, room temperature, holder fit and how long the candle is burned at one time.

Keeping the candle upright, away from draughts and securely fitted into an appropriate holder will help support a steadier burn.

The quoted seven-hour figure should be treated as a maximum under ideal conditions rather than a guaranteed duration in every setting.

Taper Candles for Weddings & Special Occasions

White taper candles are especially popular for events because they work with almost any decorative scheme.

These can be used for:

  • wedding tables
  • dinner parties
  • Christmas settings
  • Valentine’s dinners
  • ceremonies
  • receptions
  • restaurant-style table settings
  • seasonal displays

Their unscented finish makes them easy to use in larger quantities without filling the room with competing fragrance.

Table Candles & Candlestick Use

At approximately 2.2cm diameter, these dinner candles are designed for use in suitable taper candle holders or candlesticks.

The fit should be secure and upright before lighting.

A loose-fitting dinner candle can lean, drip unpredictably or become unstable, so always make sure the base sits firmly inside the holder.

Do not force an oversized candle into a holder that is too narrow.

Designed for a Cleaner Burn

The supplied Price’s information describes the Venetian range as smokeless and drip-free in the right conditions.

In practice, all candles can smoke or drip if exposed to draughts, excessive wick length, uneven placement or heat.

For that reason, it is more accurate to describe these as designed for a low-smoke, low-drip burn when used correctly.

If the flame begins to smoke, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool and trim the wick before relighting.

White Wedding Candles

The brilliant white finish makes these especially useful as wedding candles.

They can be arranged in single candlesticks, grouped at different heights or used in candelabras to create soft vertical points of light across a table.

Because the wax is solid white throughout, the candle maintains a consistent look throughout the burn rather than revealing a differently coloured interior.

Ritual, Ceremony & Quiet Spaces

A simple white taper candle can also work beautifully in ritual, prayer, meditation or ceremonial settings.

Its tall steady flame creates a traditional visual focal point without adding fragrance.

Any symbolic meaning attached to a white candle is personal or tradition-specific rather than a guaranteed spiritual effect.

How to Use

Remove all outer wrapping and packaging before lighting.

Place the candle securely in a suitable non-flammable dinner candle holder and check that it stands completely upright.

Trim the wick to approximately 1cm / ½″ before lighting or relighting if needed.

Keep the candle away from draughts, direct sunlight, televisions, radiators and other heat sources.

Allow enough clear space above and around the flame for heat to disperse safely.

Candle Safety

For safer use:

  • never leave a burning candle unattended
  • keep away from children and pets
  • always use a suitable non-flammable taper candle holder
  • make sure the candle fits tightly and stands upright
  • keep away from curtains, paper, flowers and other flammable materials
  • leave at least 10cm / 4″ between burning candles
  • keep away from draughts and direct heat sources
  • trim the wick to around 1cm / ½″ before lighting or relighting
  • extinguish if the candle begins to smoke
  • do not move while lit or while wax is liquid
  • extinguish before the flame reaches approximately 2cm / 1″ from the holder
  • never use water to extinguish a candle
