This graceful pressed-glass vessel, now named Athena, carries the quiet strength and timeless elegance of mid-century craftsmanship. Its octagonal silhouette, faceted panels, and soft peach-apricot hue are reminiscent of the work of American glassmakers such as Indiana Glass and Anchor Hocking — artisans who infused everyday pieces with beauty, light, and refinement.
Originally created as a decorative bowl or vanity piece, Athena was designed to brighten a room through shape and color alone. Now reimagined as a hand-poured candle, she glows from within, illuminating her sculpted sides and casting warm, delicate reflections outward. Her presence feels both serene and powerful — a small, radiant heirloom echoing the strength of her name.
Revived by House of Eugenie, Athena becomes a symbol of grace, light, and mid-century artistry renewed for the modern home.

Special note:
Athena is a mid-century pressed-glass bowl (1950s–1970s) in a soft peach-apricot tint, likely crafted by Indiana Glass or Anchor Hocking. With its octagonal shape and faceted walls, this vintage piece has been transformed into a warm, luminous hand-poured candle.
This candle is unscented, celebrating the purity of form, light, and timeless design — a piece that glows as much as it tells a story.
Each candle is hand-poured in Montreal using 100% natural soy wax and cotton wicks for a clean, eco-friendly burn. We carefully source unique vintage and artisanal containers, giving each candle a second life as a meaningful object of décor.
Every vessel is also fully refillable, allowing your candle to live on—again and again.
If you wish to have your candle refilled, simply contact us at housofeugenie@gmail.com for details.
These candles are intentionally unscented to highlight the natural glow and unique beauty of each vessel — adding warmth and character to any space without overwhelming the senses.
