H. Aynsley & Co. “Copenhagen” Ironstone Tea Cup Candle (England)

This beautiful ironstone tea cup, produced by H. Aynsley & Co. in England, features the classic Copenhagen pattern — a refined blue-and-white design characterized by delicate hand-applied motifs and balanced symmetry. Known for its durability and elegance, English ironstone became a staple of Victorian-era tableware, offering the appearance of fine porcelain with added strength for everyday use.

Founded in 1845 in Stoke-on-Trent, the heart of England’s pottery industry, Aynsley & Co. built a reputation for quality craftsmanship and timeless design. The Copenhagen pattern reflects the long-standing European tradition of blue-and-white ceramics, influenced by earlier continental and Asian decorative styles that remained popular throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Once part of a traditional tea service, this cup now takes on a new life as a hand-poured candle — blending historic English craftsmanship with modern ritual and warmth.

Each cup has been filled with 4.65 oz of all-natural soy wax.
