Set of 4 Harry Potter Houses Glass Tealight Candle Holders

These four glass tealight candle holders bring the Harry Potter houses together, with a gold crest on each one. The red holder carries the Gryffindor lion, the green holder the Slytherin serpent, the black holder the Ravenclaw bird with its wings spread and the cream holder the Hufflepuff badger. Each crest is framed in swirling gold mantling above a scroll bearing the house name. Tiny gold stars are scattered around the outside of every holder, and the inside is gold too, so the rims gleam even before a candle is lit. With a tealight glowing inside, the crests light up warmly against the colour. Each round holder stands 8cm tall and 7cm across, compact enough to line all four along a single shelf.

Line them up along a bookshelf, set them down the centre of a dining table for a house-themed evening, or give each one its own spot on a mantelpiece or side table. They suit a study, a sitting room or a cosy reading corner, anywhere a little candlelight is welcome as the evenings draw in. Because each house has its own holder, they work just as well together as apart, and the four colours sit happily side by side. As a gift, they bring every house in at once, so nobody has to choose.

Each holder is made of glass, with its colour on the outside and gold inside, and has an open top made to take a tealight. Stand them on a flat, steady surface away from curtains and anything that could catch, keep a little space between them, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Once a holder has cooled, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it gently, and dust it with a soft dry cloth between uses. For the warmest look, group all four in a row against a dark wall or shelf, where the gold crests glow brightest.

How big is each tealight holder?

Each round glass holder stands 8cm tall and 7cm across, so all four sit comfortably in a row along a single shelf or down the middle of a table.

Which houses are included?

There are four holders, one for each house: Gryffindor in red, Slytherin in green, Ravenclaw in black and Hufflepuff in cream, each with its own gold crest and house name.

What are the candle holders made of?

Each holder is made of glass. The outside is coloured with a gold crest and small gold stars, and the inside is gold as well.

Can the holders be used on their own?

Yes. Each house has its own holder, so you can keep all four together in a row or spread them around different rooms and shelves.

How do I clean the glass tealight holders?

Let the holder cool, then wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it gently. A soft dry cloth keeps the dust off between uses.
