Description
This tealight holder is made of 100% recycled glass, swirled all the way round with soft grey marbling, so it looks a little different from every side. It stands 9cm tall and measures 10cm across, just wider than it is high, with a rounded, tub-like body that draws in gently towards the rim and again towards the base. It weighs 0.36KG, which gives it a steady, settled feel for its size. Glass lets candlelight pass through it, so once a tealight is burning, the marbling glows from within and the swirls come forward.
Its compact size suits a deep window sill, a mantelpiece, a bookshelf or the middle of a dining table, and it is small enough to tuck beside a bed or onto a hallway console where a little low light is welcome in the evening. Group several along a shelf or down the length of a table for a soft line of candlelight when friends visit, or keep one on its own as a quiet note of glow in a reading corner. Unlit, the grey marbling sits easily with stone, linen and oak, so it suits a calm, pared-back room as well as a busier one. It also makes a thoughtful small gift for a housewarming, a birthday or a thank you.
The finish is glossy, with a lustrous sheen across the outside and tiny bubbles caught here and there in the glass. The maker gives no care instructions, so we would treat it as decorative glass and handle it gently. The styling props shown are not included, so have a tealight ready. For a practical styling note, stand it on a polished surface such as stone or a mirrored tray, where its light doubles in the reflection, and set it at eye level where the swirls show at their best.
