Shaped like a traditional soup dumpling, this petite candle is a small, joyful nod to one of the most beloved symbols of gathering and comfort.

Xiao long bao began as humble street food in the Jiangnan region near present-day Shanghai, served in bamboo baskets and shared across crowded tables. Over time, they became a measure of craftsmanship, known for their delicate folds, careful balance, and the slow ritual of lifting, sipping, and savoring.

This candle carries that same spirit. It is designed to be smiled at, and lit during moments of connection, whether that is a quiet cup of tea, a full table of family, or the beginning of a new year.

Familiar in form, unexpected in function, this piece blends cultural storytelling with a sense of playful elegance.

Each candle is hand-poured in small batches using clean-burning soy wax for a gentle, even glow.
