Description
This round ceramic tealight holder carries a hand-painted black zig zag pattern, scattered with small white dots, around a soft off-white body. A black band circles the rim and shoulder, dipping into a crisp zig zag line, with little black teardrops and leaf shapes painted beneath it. It is a compact piece, 5.7cm across and 2.6cm tall, with a low, rounded shape that sits snugly around a single tealight. It takes tealights up to 4cm in diameter, so check your candles are no wider before you light up.
Because it is so small, it fits almost anywhere: on a bedside table, along a mantelpiece, on a bookshelf or down the centre of a dining table. On its own it gives a quiet glow to a reading corner, and set among other candles on a sideboard or coffee table it adds a warm point of light to an evening in. The black and off-white palette sits happily with monochrome schemes and natural wood alike, and the hand-painted pattern brings a homely touch to a cosy living room or a calm bedroom.
The holder is ceramic, and because each one is painted by hand, the colours and the exact line of the pattern may vary slightly from piece to piece. Its neat base keeps it steady on a shelf or table. To keep it looking its best, let it cool fully after use, then wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it. Lift out the spent tealight once it has cooled rather than scraping at the ceramic. As with any candle, never leave a burning tealight unattended, and keep it clear of anything that might catch. For a simple gift, tuck it in with a box of tealights and it is ready to give.

Frequently Asked
How big is this tealight holder?
It measures 5.7cm across and stands 2.6cm tall, so it is a compact holder that sits neatly on a shelf, windowsill or bedside table.
What size tealight does it take?
It is made for tealights up to 4cm in diameter, so it is worth measuring your candles first if you are unsure of their size.
What is it made from?
It is ceramic, with an off-white body and a black zig zag and white dot pattern painted by hand around the rim and sides.
Will mine look exactly like the one described?
Each holder is hand-painted, so colours and appearances may vary slightly, and the line of the zig zag on yours may differ a little from piece to piece.
How should I clean it?
Let it cool completely, lift out the spent tealight, then wipe it gently with a soft damp cloth and dry it, without scraping at the painted surface.
