Some gifts are practical. Some are pretty. The best ones are both — and they arrive looking like someone actually thought about it. If you're still searching for that gift, we'd like to introduce you to Nordtrice.
Founded in 2021 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Nordtrice is a women-owned candle studio with a simple but beautiful obsession: the handmade taper candle. Not the plain white dinner candle you've seen a thousand times, but something altogether more alive — dipped in color, swirled in marble, speckled with confetti, layered in rich seasonal tones. Every candle leaves their Copenhagen studio by hand, and no two are exactly the same.
We carry Nordtrice at Fina Tavola because it fits everything we believe in: artisan craft, European design, and the kind of everyday beauty that makes a home feel intentional. These candles are small enough to ship, affordable enough to gift generously, and striking enough to be remembered.
The Gift That Sets the Table
Here's what makes a Nordtrice candle such a good gift: it solves a problem the recipient didn't know they had. Most people don't buy themselves beautiful candles. They buy functional ones. A Nordtrice set changes the entire mood of a dinner table — and the person receiving it immediately understands that someone put real thought into the choice.
They're also endlessly versatile. A pastel mix works for birthdays, baby showers, and spring entertaining. The marble sets feel elegant enough for a housewarming or a hostess gift. The autumn and cozy mixes are perfect for the holiday season. And the pink mixes? Made for anyone who loves color, romance, and a table that looks like it belongs in a Copenhagen design magazine.

A Note on What Makes These Special
Nordtrice candles are made from 100% natural wax, in small batches, by hand. Each one is 7.9 inches tall with a 0.87-inch base — standard sizing that fits all candle holders. Burn time is approximately 6 hours per candle.
Because every candle is hand-decorated with handpicked pigments, slight variations in color or placement are part of the process. That's not a flaw — it's what makes each set genuinely one of a kind. No two boxes leave Copenhagen exactly alike.
