The ceramic wick holder is a popular wine bottle wick holder.  The ceramic wick holder is also available in 2 sizes that we have in stock.  Be sure to check with us, we are currently designing a new ceramic wick holder that will be a great new design for oil candles.  The ceramic wick holder is available in the tapered cork style that is the popular wine bottle wick holder design.  We also have a ceramic wick holder that is a larger size that is designed in the knob style.  This larger knob style ceramic wick holder is used in larger openings such as small bottles with an opening of about 1 1/4" and the ceramic wick holder then cradles into the opening and holds the wick in place.

You must measure your bottle opening or drill the correct size hole to properly fit the wick holder you are purchasing.  When you are drilling a hole for the wick holder such as in rock candles, you must drill the hole about 3/8" if you are using a glass wick holder that has a tube size of 1/4".  The wick holder must have some room for expansion as glass heats up.  Our wick holders are thermal glass.
