Will the burn candle hurt the luminary?

Since the Raku luminary is fired to 1800F a candle burning at just a few 100 degrees will not affect or damage the piece. You may want to be careful when handling the top of the piece as it may get hot, and the bottom when the candle gets shorter. When using candles, you may want to use the kind that come in a little glass jar to keep wax from building up on the inside of the piece.
