Description
This glossy white ceramic tealight holder carries a star picked out in small pierced holes, with a little star-shaped opening at its centre, so a lit tealight inside sends tiny points of light out into the room. It is a simple round cylinder, 5.2cm across and 6cm tall, with a smooth glossy finish inside and out. We like the way the plain white ground keeps the look clean and quiet, letting the star do the work once the candle is lit.
Being small and round, it fits easily where space is tight: a windowsill, a bedside table, a bookshelf or the middle of the dining table. On its own it adds a soft glow to a quiet corner of the living room, and on a mantelpiece the dotted star makes a gentle pattern of light for an evening in. The white glaze sits happily with most colour schemes, from crisp modern rooms to warmer, more traditional ones, so it is an easy choice whether you are dressing your own home or choosing a small gift.
It takes tealights up to 4.2cm in diameter, so it is worth checking the size of your candles before you light up, and it stands freely on any flat surface with nothing to fix or hang. To keep it looking its best, wait until the holder is completely cool, wipe the glaze with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft cloth, then lift out the spent tealight cup before putting in a fresh one. As with any candle, place it on a steady surface away from curtains and anything that can catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. For a thoughtful little present, tuck a few tealights in alongside it so it is ready to light from the moment it is unwrapped.
