Filled Candle: A candle produced and used within the same vessel.

Types of CandlesToday, there are candles for every occasion... and literally thousands of different candles from which to choose.
Listed below are non-technical descriptions of the most common types of candles used by consumers. See Candle Terminology for official ASTM definitions of candle types.
Taper: A slender candle, typically 6 - 18 inches in height, to be held securely upright by a candle holder. Sometimes referred to as a dinner candle.
Votive: A small cylindrical candle, usually about 1.5 inches in diameter and 2 or 2.5 inches high, which is placed in a "cup" (usually made of glass) to hold the liquefied wax that results from burning. Votives were originally produced as white unscented candles for religious ceremonies; they are now available in many colors and scents.
Pillar or Column: A rigid, self-standing candle that is thick in diameter, with one or more wicks. Despite the name, pillars or column candles can be round, square, hexagonal, etc., and are to be burned on a heat-resistant candle holder.
Luminaria: An outdoor candle created by planting a 15-hour votive in a container filled with sand.
Container or Filled: A candle that is poured into a special or decorative glass, tin or pottery container designed to withstand the heat.
Tealight: A small cylindrical candle, usually about 1 inch in diameter and 1.5 inches high, which is filled in its own holder, typically made of metal.
Specialty: An unusually shaped or sculpted free-standing candle, often painted to depict a three-dimensional object or designed to be viewed primarily as a decorative artwork.
Gel: A transparent-type candle typically having a rubbery-like consistency, made primarily from gelled mineral oils or gelled synthetic hydrocarbons, and poured into a container to maintain its shape. Decorative wax items are frequently suspended within the gel for special visual effect. "Hard" gel candles have a consistency suitable for free-standing candles.
Floating: A shallow candle with a smooth, slightly convex bottom designed specifically to float on water
