Bought two large, heavy glass water drinking
glass, for candle holders. I had an emergency
candle lit, in one. Candle leaning against the
glass.

Klink! The uneven heat from the candle broke
the glass. No damage, dollar glass went in the
trash. No fire.

Learning moment. More dirt, around the base
of the candle, and keep the candle centered.

Look for some of the glass measuring cups the cooks use that are made out of
the pyrex (or however you spell it). You also get a handle to carry it
around with. Also some of the candles that are used as food warmers work
fine for this. The ones that are about an inch or two in diameter and about
half an inch thick.
