Description
This is a set of 2 multicoloured glass tealight holders, each 8cm across and 20.5cm tall. Every holder pairs a tulip-shaped bowl with a tall stem of stacked, rounded rings. Inside the bowl, a small see-through glass cup sits on top of the stem and holds the tealight. The two are not alike. One has a fluted bowl with a softly wavy rim and a fluted round foot; the other has a smooth bowl and a plain flared foot. Each has its own shade, so the pair reads as companions rather than twins.
At 20.5cm tall they lift each flame well above the surface on which they stand. That suits a shelf, a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a side table beside an armchair in the living room, where a low tealight would vanish behind books and frames. Because the bowl wraps around the flame, the glass glows with it. The fluted holder breaks the light into soft vertical lines, while the smooth one gives a softer, more even light. They suit anyone who likes candlelight in the evening but finds plain tealight cups a little ordinary, and they make a thoughtful gift for someone setting up a new home.
The glass has a spray-coloured finish, which is how each holder takes its shade. They should not be machine washed, so keep them out of the dishwasher and clean them by hand with a soft sponge, avoiding abrasives. The styling props shown are not included. To style them, stand the two side by side with a little space between them so each silhouette stays readable. Or place one at each end of a shelf to frame the books or objects in the middle; on a polished brass or mirrored surface their light is caught and repeated.

They are 100% glass with a spray-coloured finish, and a small see-through glass cup inside each bowl holds the tealight on top of the stem.

Are the two holders the same?
No. One has a fluted bowl with a wavy rim and a fluted foot, the other a smooth bowl and a plain foot, and each has its own shade.
