Burnt Mustard Twisting Taper has a primitive look and realistic flicker flame. Coated in wax, it looks as though the candle is dripping down its sides. Operates on two AA batteries (not included) by twisting the base on or off. The base can also be removed to replace batteries. It stays lit for 6 hours on and 18 hours off on a timer function. Measures 6” high by 1” in diameter.
