Description
This perforated tealight lantern pairs a cast iron body with a glossy enamel finish and a gold-toned handle. Its rounded, jar-like shape has a smooth band at the top and base, with a wide middle section pierced all over in a radiating, flower-like pattern of small holes. Inside, the metal is a warm gold tone, so a lit tealight shows through the pattern as tiny points of light. It comes in five colours: light grey, green, soft pink, vibrant pink and dark green. It measures 12.3cm across and stands 15cm tall, not counting the handle, and weighs 0.396KG.
We like it for the hours when the main lights go off. Set it on a dining table, a hallway shelf or a sideboard, or hang it by its handle from a hook. It is suitable for indoor or outdoor use, so it can move out to a garden table or a balcony on summer evenings and come back inside afterwards. The light grey and soft pink sit quietly in calm, pale rooms, while green, dark green and vibrant pink bring a brighter note to a bookcase or a corner of the garden. It makes an easy, practical present to give.
The lantern holds tealights up to 3.8cm across. To load it, twist the holder at the base until its locking pins line up with the slots to release it, set the tealight in, then twist the other way to lock it in place. After use, let the metal cool before you handle it, and never leave a burning candle unattended. To keep the enamel bright, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth and dry it well. Group two or three colours together along a mantelpiece or a garden wall for a warm, layered glow on a long evening.
