Description
This is a set of three clear glass tealight holders, each one shaped as a snowflake with a round well at its centre for a single tealight. No two are alike: one has six branching arms with rounded, heart-like tips, one has a broader six-armed outline traced with leaf-like detail, and the smallest is a shallow round cup with a frill of little clover-like tips around its rim. They are low and wide rather than tall, so the flame sits close to the cloth: the three measure 8cm across and 2cm tall, 8.5cm across and 2.5cm tall, and 10cm across and 2.5cm tall. They are 100% glass, clear enough for the flame to show through all round.
We see them first on the Christmas table, spaced along a runner or grouped at the centre among plates and cups, where their low height keeps the view clear across the table. Because each is a different size and design, they look chosen as a trio rather than lined up as a matched row. They suit a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a sideboard too, anywhere a few small flames make a room feel cosy on a dark evening. As a gift for someone who decorates for Christmas, they are an easy choice: three pieces that work together from the first night.
The two larger holders are chunky glass with ridged sides, and the outline of every snowflake is picked out in raised detail on top, so the pattern catches the light even before the tealight is lit. The motif is in the glass itself rather than painted on. The holders come as a set of three, and the styling props shown are not included. For the best effect, group them at different depths rather than in a line, with the largest towards the back, and set them on a pale cloth so the glow spreads around them.

Frequently Asked
What size are the three holders?
The smallest is 8cm across and 2cm tall, the middle one 8.5cm across and 2.5cm tall, and the largest 10cm across and 2.5cm tall.
What are the holders made of?
They are 100% glass and clear, with the snowflake shape and its raised outlines formed in the glass itself rather than painted on.
What kind of candle do they take?
Each holder has a round well at its centre made to hold a single tealight, so the flame sits low inside the glass.
Are all three holders the same design?
No. Each is a different snowflake design and a different size, so they read as a varied trio when grouped together on a table or shelf.
Are they only for Christmas?
They are made as Christmas pieces, but clear glass snowflakes sit just as happily on a winter table or windowsill through the colder months.
