Limited Edition of 500✨
Keap x Jono Pandolfi Ceramic Candle
We worked with ceramicist Jono Pandolfi to create a stunning candle that honors our shared sense of artistry, commitment to quality, and passion for small-batch, hand-made goods.
The limited run of 500 individually-numbered, ceramic tumblers was hand-thrown by Jono’s team in a honeyed toast clay and glazed white on the inside.
Then Keap’s expert candle makers filled each vessel with a candle in their signature Wood Cabin scent — a cozy blend of cedar, palo santo and fireside embers.
Once the candle has burned through, the beautifully crafted vessel transforms into your new favorite drinking cup.
Celebrating Decades of Artistry
In honor of our upcoming 10th anniversary, and the 20th anniversary of famed ceramicist Jono Pandolfi, we created a candle designed with artistry and circularity in mind.
We poured our beloved Wood Cabin candle into a hand-thrown ceramic tumbler that is both beautiful and durable — reusable for years to come.

Positively Haunted
“It transported me back to fresh evergreens, old wood with wet moss, and a smoking campfire.”
Dear Keap,
I’m in love with your Wood Cabin candle after walking into Woods Grove in Greenpoint where they were burning it. The whole store transported me back to fresh evergreens, old wood with wet moss, and a smoking campfire.
First of all, let me start by saying I’m a major scent enthusiast. Yes, it’s true! I love fragrance big time!
Your candle haunted me, and my mind kept racing back to that fragrance. I had to go back and buy that amazing scent. I want to have my whole house smell like that.
Truly, I’m seriously in love.
— Randy, New York
Common Questions
What size is the ceramic candle?
+
The candle is similar in size to our classic, full-size candles at 6.7oz / 40 hour burn time. The ceramic vessel is equivalent to a 9oz coffee mug. Due to being hand-thrown, each vessel will have subtle variations in size and form.
Can the ceramic be reused after burning?
+
Yes! After finishing your candle, simply pop it in the freezer and gently use a blunt knife to crack out any remaining chunks of wax. Since the tumbler is dishwasher-safe you can then run it through your next dishwashing cycle or hand-wash, and you’ll have a beautiful new ceramic tumbler to call your own. The ceramic is microwave- and dishwasher-safe and will be durable for years to come.
How should I care for my ceramic?
+
The tumbler is dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe, but not oven-safe above 200 °F.
Surface marks from regular use are rarely permanent and can be removed with a little elbow grease or the help of a cleaning agent such as Bon Ami.
Which scents is the ceramic candle available in?
+
Each candle is poured with Keap's fall-favorite Wood Cabin scent.
What is the vessel made of?
+
The vessel is ceramic stoneware, made with clays sourced in the northeastern United States. The inside is coated with a white glaze that is certified lead and cadmium free.
What else will be included in my order?
+
Each ceramic candle comes packaged in a kraft gift-box, and inside you'll find a candle (phew!), a dust cover, and an insert with tips on how to care for your candle and the ceramic tumbler.
Can I include a gift note?
+
Absolutely. In the cart there is a field to enter a personal gift note. We hand-write every gift note on a card and include it alongside your gift.
Can a gift receipt be included instead of the price?
+
We only include details about how to contact us, alongside any gift message you provide so no pricing information will be visible.
