Description
This glass lantern is built like a little house: a square iron frame, a pyramid roof of glass topped with a square cap, and a wire loop handle for carrying it. The sides are glazed in a patchwork of panes, some plain and see-through, others tinted in soft and deeper shades of pink, so candlelight leaves it in blocks of warm colour rather than one even glow. Several panes are textured and flecked with tiny bubbles, which breaks the light up a little more. It measures 13cm long, 13cm wide and 34cm tall, and the material is 85% glass and 15% iron.
We see it first as a lantern for evenings outside. It is classed as an outdoor piece, and it looks at home on a terrace table, beside a front step or along a gravel path, especially grouped with plainer lanterns so its colour has something to stand out against. Indoors it suits a windowsill, a sideboard, a mantelpiece or the middle of a dining table, and it makes a good gift for anyone who likes candlelit evenings. At 1.06KG it is easy to lift by its handle and move from the table to the garden and back.
One side is a hinged glass door held shut with a small hook latch, so you open it to stand a candle inside and close it again once lit. The maker gives the finish as spray coloured, and the care is simple: keep it out of the dishwasher and away from aggressive detergents and abrasive cleaners, and wipe it gently by hand instead. The styling props shown are not included. For the best effect, choose a plain candle and let the tinted panes do the colouring, then group it in threes with lanterns in plain iron or woven rattan along a path or across a long table.
