Vintage Tulip-Shaped Sundae Glass Candle

This elegant vintage tulip-shaped sundae glass reflects the playful charm of mid-century dessertware, when soda fountains, ice cream parlors, and home entertaining all embraced glassware that felt both whimsical and refined. With its flared, petal-like rim and pedestal base, this style of glass was designed to elevate simple desserts into something a little more special — whether it was a scoop of sherbet, layered parfait, or an old-fashioned sundae.

Tulip-form dessert glasses became especially popular in the mid-20th century, when pressed and molded glassware was widely produced for both everyday use and casual entertaining. Their sculptural silhouette gave them a more decorative feel than standard dessert dishes, while still being practical enough for frequent use. Today, pieces like this capture that nostalgic sweetness of vintage summer tables, diner desserts, and leisurely evenings with something cold in hand.

Now given a second life as a hand-poured candle, this vintage sundae glass has been transformed into a playful, nostalgic piece inspired by an old-fashioned scoop of ice cream. The candle is topped with a hand-sculpted wax scoop, blending vintage glassware with the charm of a classic summer dessert.

Each candle is hand-poured with all-natural soy wax and finished with a wax “ice cream” scoop top.

Each glass has been filled with approximately 6.5 oz of wax.

Dimensions:

Approximately 6.25" tall × 4" wide
Approximately 7.5" tall with scoop
