Description
This single stem candle holder sets a pale green glass cup on a slender off-white stem, shaped like a tulip about to open. The glass is clear with a soft green tint, and its rim rises into a crown of pointed tips, so candlelight glows through the sides and catches along every edge. A collar of small pointed petals holds the cup from beneath, two long leaves sweep up from the round base, and a single openwork butterfly with a pale green centre rests on the stem. The stem, leaves and butterfly are finished in matt white. At 10.9cm wide and 10.4cm deep, it takes up little room on a shelf or table.
We like it on a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a dressing table, where the green glass picks up daylight as well as the glow of a candle. It stands on its own round base and needs no wall or hook, so you can move it from the dining table to a bedside shelf whenever you fancy a change. The tulip and butterfly bring a gentle garden feel that sits happily with florals, pale woods and painted furniture, and suits a bedroom as well as a sitting room. Lit or unlit, it adds a little colour to a quiet corner.
The glass cup is held in its collar of petals at the top of the stem, and the flat round foot keeps the holder steady on a level surface. For everyday care, dust the stem, leaves and butterfly with a soft dry cloth, and wipe the glass with a damp cloth once it has cooled completely, then dry it gently. Stand it well away from curtains and anything that might catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Set it beside a jug of fresh tulips or a few trailing stems of ivy, and it brings a quiet touch of the garden indoors all year round.
