Know before you buy
Due to the 4x4 inch dimensions, this luminary is best suited for a standard tea light or a small votive candle. We recommend using an unscented candle to avoid any residue buildup on the interior of the pottery.
The luminary features a traditional terra cotta finish. It has a natural, earthy texture that is characteristic of Bennington Pottery's handcrafted style.
While it is designed as an indoor decorative accent, it can be used on a covered porch or patio. However, because it is made of porous pottery, it should be brought inside during inclement weather to prevent moisture damage or cracking.
Because the design is intricate, you can use a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air to remove dust from the cutouts. If wax spills inside, gently scrape it out once it has fully hardened, taking care not to scratch the pottery surface.
Yes, as with most pottery candle holders, the terra cotta will retain heat. Always place the luminary on a heat-resistant surface and allow it to cool completely before moving it after use.
