These beeswax candles certainly are different. Created in small batches and hand poured by Askew Candles in Darlington are made from moulds of original bottles from R. Stothert and Sons. R. Stothert and Sons originally produced pills, tonics, ointments and powders for common medical complaints and were based in Atherton, Greater Manchester. The bearded man on the bottle is R. Stothert himself. These bottle candles evoke a sense of history of bottle making, when the intricate design was almost as important as the lotions and potions they held.
