Figuring out ways to dispose of my grandmother's "good dishes". My nephew was only interested in the bowls, so I sent him those. A friend suggested making #candles out of the teacups. I had no idea candle- making had such a large hobby community, nor that it had so many gadgets and supplies... Here's my first test cases. Hard to see in the photo, but these two are dyed light blue. I'll be playing with other colors for the other cups in the set.
@LnzyHou I'll keep one for myself (since it's got a chip in it, anyway) but I plan to give the rest away. I opted not to add any scent to them since I'm not sure who they're going to go to yet, and some folks are allergic to scents.
There's a nice restaurant in Philadelphia (Talulah's Garden) where the dishes are all mismatched old fine china. It's really cute.

What will you do with them after they become candles? I’ve seen them at craft fairs.
