Detail

A charming piece of Toronto dairy history, preserved in pure Canadian beeswax.

The Bird’s Hill Sour Cream Candle recreates a returnable dairy container from the 1940s. Its remarkably detailed front embossing reads “Bird’s Hill Sour Cream—Dairy Product—Toronto,” while the reverse reads “5 cents for return of bottle” and includes an embossed picture of a cream bottle.

Bird’s Hill later became part of what is now Western Creamery in Brampton, Ontario. This candle preserves that Canadian dairy history in a completely unexpected form: a solid beeswax candle with no glass container.

Its round, compact shape displays the embossing beautifully and provides more than 50 hours of warm beeswax light. It makes a distinctive gift for antique-bottle collectors, dairy memorabilia enthusiasts, Toronto-history lovers or anyone decorating a farmhouse or vintage-inspired kitchen.

Hand-poured by Pioneer Spirit in Sudbury, Ontario, using pure micro-filtered Canadian beeswax. It contains no added fragrance—only the naturally light honey aroma and warm golden colour of genuine beeswax.

Additional Information

PURE CANADIAN BEESWAX Our candles are hand-poured using pure Canadian beeswax. No fancy equipment, just steady hands and an eye for perfection. And of course, all of our ingredients are sustainably taken from small, Canadian beekeepers who respect their bees and the environment. We do not add paraffin or synthetic fragrance to our pure beeswax candles. The subtle, naturally occurring honey-like aroma comes from the beeswax itself and may vary from batch to batch. Because beeswax is a natural product, slight variations in colour and aroma are normal and are part of the character of genuine beeswax. Each candle is hand-poured by Pioneer Spirit in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. CANDLE CARE Always place candles on a suitable heat-resistant holder or surface. Keep the wick trimmed to approximately 1/4 inch and keep burning candles away from drafts, children, pets and flammable materials. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
