This is the Hampshire Pewter Teaching candle snuffer, a solid pewter snuffer topped with a sculpted Teaching motif. The little bell at the end drops over a flame to extinguish it cleanly, with none of the smoke or wax splatter of blowing a candle out.
It lives by the candles on a mantel, dining table, or altar and works as a small decorative object in its own right when not in use. The soft silvery pewter finish and detailed handle make it a thoughtful gift for a candle lover.
Hampshire Pewter has hand-cast lead-free pewter in New Hampshire since 1974, using a centuries-old spin-casting method to make heirloom-quality American pewter giftware.
