Robin Crackle Effect Glass Tea Light Candle Holder - Red & Green

This round glass candle holder brings a cheerful robin to the Christmas season, perched on a holly sprig against a crackle effect finish that catches the flicker of a tea light. The robin has a bright red breast and soft brown wings, with white snowflakes beside it and green holly leaves and sparkling red berries trailing across the glass. The glass itself is clear, crazed all over with fine crackle lines that scatter the glow once a candle is lit. It stands 8cm high and 10cm across, a neat, rounded size made to hold a tea light.

Set it on a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a sideboard through December, or at the centre of the dining table for Christmas dinner, where its low, rounded shape keeps the candlelight below eye level and leaves room to talk across the table. It is just as welcome on a hallway console or a dresser shelf, bringing a small pool of warm light to a corner that needs it on a dark winter evening. With its robin, holly and snowflakes, it makes a thoughtful small Christmas gift that needs nothing more than a tea light to bring it to life.

The holder is made from glass, finished with a crackle effect and decorated with the robin, holly and snowflake design. Its round, open top makes it easy to drop a tea light in and lift it out again when it has burned down. To care for it, let it cool fully after each use, then wipe the glass with a soft damp cloth and dry it gently, taking care over the decorated areas. As with any candle, stand it on a steady surface away from curtains and anything that might catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. For a gift, tuck a few tea lights in beside it so it can glow from the very first evening.
