These “floating wicks” by Ptilit are used by those who opt to use oil
for their Shabbat and holiday candles. The floating octagon shaped fireproof
base has a small hole in the center where a wax coated wick is inserted. The
base floats atop of the oil safely, holding the wick in its place.
The base serves as a buffer between the flame and the oil holder and prevents
the flame from coming too close to the glass. Made in Israel.
Each box contains 48 octagon shaped floating bases and wicks.
