What Makes It Uncommon

Cari Clark Phelps has a knack for turning nostalgia into something new—and delightfully fragrant. She hand-pours her one-of-a-kind candles into real antique teacups that she rescues from attics, garden-club cupboards, and long-lived homes, giving each piece a second life and a new story. You’ll choose your favorite color theme—classic blue-and-white or floral—but the exact pattern of teacup and saucer you receive will be a delightful surprise. Some are dainty, some bold, all are brimming with character and softly scented soy wax. With notes of citrus, jasmine, and lemongrass, the aroma brings a breezy freshness to a vintage piece, creating an unexpected blend of tradition, fragrance, and feel-good charm.

  • Each candle is hand poured into a genuine vintage ceramic teacup and comes with a matching saucer.
  • Choose your color theme: Blue & White or Vibrant Floral (specific teacup design will vary, and no two are alike).
  • Minor imperfections reflect the teacup’s age and storied past.
  • Filled with 4.2 oz. of soy wax in a refreshing citrus green tea scent and infused with natural essential oils, including orange, citronella, and lemongrass.
  • Teacup and saucer are not dishwasher safe.
  • Handmade in Georgia.

After studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design, she launched a design firm specializing in branding and packaging. That passion for visual storytelling eventually led her to create a line of hand-poured candles and body care products that celebrate reuse, nature, and place. Working from her studio in Savannah, Georgia, Cari transforms vintage vessels and botanical scents into meaningful, memory-rich keepsakes.
