A candle shaped like a vegetable sounds like a gimmick until it lands on a linen tablecloth, and then it earns the room. These are cast from actual asparagus spears — the lumps, the tips, the slight imperfections of the real thing — and hand-poured in beeswax from local hives. The green is a vegetable-based dye, the form is the form: 10.5 inches tall, slotted at the base to sit securely in a proper holder, with a seven-hour burn time, which is roughly the length of a long dinner. They make a strong case as a hostess gift, a spring table moment, or the small unexpected detail at a place setting that everyone keeps mentioning. Sold as a pair. Even though they look real, they are emphatically not edible.
