Title: Tortoise and Hare Candle
Description: 1980? Tortoise and Hare Candle. Hand painted. Animal Antics. 5" high. Made in Hong Kong. Unknown source.

This candle is still readily available online. The candle-makers use the tortoise's shell as backing for the candle. The tortoise looks down with paws at his ears in wonder over the sleeping hare. The hare, who has eaten half of a carrot, sleeps on. Is it a sense of humor that fills out space with an alarm clock?
Date: 1980?
