Flowers Glass Tealight Candle Holder

This glass tealight candle holder is printed all the way round with a delicate meadow of flowers, so it looks pretty whether the candle is lit or not. The clear glass lets the design seem to float: fine green stems and feathery leaves rise from the base, scattered with white daisies with sunny yellow centres, small teal blue blooms and flowers in deep red and soft pink. Because the pattern runs right round the outside, there is no plain back to turn to the wall. It is a neat, straight-sided cylinder, 6.9cm across and 7.8cm tall, and weighs just 0.16KG, small enough to tuck onto a shelf, a windowsill or the corner of a desk.

We like it on a dining table, a bedside table or a mantelpiece, anywhere a small pool of candlelight would be welcome on a quiet evening. Once the candle is lit, its glow shines through the clear glass and picks out every little flower, giving a soft, warm light that makes a room feel instantly cosier. It takes a standard tealight or a candle up to about 6cm across, so you can choose a little flicker for supper or a slightly larger candle if you prefer. Unlit, the floral print still brings a fresh, garden feel to a room all year round.

The holder is made of glass, with the flowers decorating the outside, and its flat base sits steadily on any level shelf or table. To keep it looking its best, let the wax cool and set before you clean it, then wipe the glass with a soft damp cloth and dry it gently, taking care over the printed flowers. Always stand it on a stable surface away from anything that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. It makes a thoughtful little gift, and a few placed along a table together make a charming centrepiece.
