Description
This glass tealight holder in green is a plain, straight-sided cylinder, 8cm across and 8cm tall. Being exactly as wide as it is tall gives it a squat, settled shape, and the walls rise straight from base to rim with no taper. It is 100% glass and weighs 0.254KG, a reassuring weight for something this small, so it feels solid rather than flimsy in the hand. The glass is not fully see-through: it has a soft, cloudy body with faint streaks running through it, and a thicker band of glass forms the foot.
A tealight holder earns its place wherever a small, low light is wanted. Set one on a windowsill, a bookshelf or a bedside table, or run a few along the centre of a dining table for an evening with friends. At 8cm tall it sits low enough to keep faces in view across the table, and its small footprint suits a narrow mantelpiece or the corner of a desk. Cloudy glass spreads a flame's light into a gentle glow, so the effect is soft rather than sharp. Without a candle it still has a use, as a little pot for matches, hair ties or paper clips on a dressing table or a hall shelf.
The finish is simple: straight walls, a plain rounded rim and that heavier foot, which gives the holder a steady base. There is no pattern or decoration, only the gentle movement in the glass itself, so it sits comfortably beside other pieces without competing with them. Its green is quiet enough for most colour schemes and looks at home with dried flowers, linen and natural wood. For a fuller look, group two or three together on a tray or a stack of books, and keep them a little apart so each glow reads on its own.

It measures 8cm across and 8cm tall, so it is a compact holder that fits easily on a windowsill, a bookshelf or a bedside table.
How heavy is it?
