These long burning (approx 5 - 7 hour) candles are solid color, not dipped. They measure about 6" x 3/4" and fit perfectly into most taper holders and wine bottles. 
The candles are great for spell / altar / religious work and also make a great household / utility candle. 
They are tough and will stand up well to use outdoors.  Some blemishes may be visible on the outer but the candles are solid all the way through. 
As such they are practical and meant to be burned rather than displayed.
