This candle snuffer is handmade from pewter and detailed to look just like a little woodland rabbit. The vintage finish is timeless and makes it a lovely way to put out candles. Benefits of using a snuffer: Prevents hot wax from splattering (which can happen if you blow them out). Reduces smoke and soot. Extends the life of the wick by preventing it from smoldering. Keeps things looking polished and ritual-like, perfect for luxury candles. How to use one properly: Hold the handle – Grasp the candle snuffer by its long handle so your hand stays a safe distance from the flame. Position the rabbit – Lower the rabbit end directly over the flame. Don’t press it into the wax; just cover the flame completely. Extinguish the flame – The snuffer deprives the flame of oxygen, so it will go out within a second or two. Lift away gently – Once the flame is out, lift the snuffer straight up. Avoid dragging it through the melted wax. Wipe if needed – Occasionally, soot can build up inside the rabbit. Wipe it clean with a soft cloth after the snuffer cools down.
