{"product_id":"shirly-house-stoneware-christmas-tealight-holder-white","title":"Shirly House Stoneware Christmas Tealight Holder - White","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eShirly is a little stoneware tealight holder made in the shape of a house, with a pitched roof, a chimney and small square windows cut through its walls. Set a tealight inside and the light spills out through every window, so the house seems to glow from within on a dark December evening. The body is white, and hand-painted details pick out a shuttered attic window, an arched front door, sills beneath the windows and a slim tree on one side wall. It stands 16cm tall, 11.5cm long and 9cm wide, a size that sits comfortably on a windowsill or shelf without crowding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is Christmas decoration, made for the weeks when the house fills with candlelight. Put it on a windowsill so anyone passing catches the glow, on the mantelpiece among greenery, or at the centre of a sideboard. It holds its own as a single piece, and it sits just as happily among other ceramic houses and figures you already bring out each December to build a small winter village. Because it is compact, it also suits a hall console or the corner of a desk where a larger candle holder would not fit. It makes a thoughtful present for someone who decorates early, or for a first Christmas in a new home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe holder is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-fired ceramic, and at 0.63KG it has enough weight to sit steadily where you put it. At the back, an arched opening lets you slip a tealight in and lift it out again. The finish is painted by hand, so small differences in the brushwork from one piece to the next are part of its charm rather than a flaw. For styling, line it up with a couple of slim taper candles at different heights, then let the windows do the work once the lights go down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandpaint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.63KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this tealight holder made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-fired ceramic, and the decoration on the house is painted by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the house?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stands 16cm tall, 11.5cm long and 9cm wide, and it weighs 0.63KG, so it sits neatly on a windowsill, mantelpiece or shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I put the tealight in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is an arched opening in the back wall of the house, so you can slip a tealight inside and lift it out again easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the light show through the windows?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
