Know before you buy
No, they are a natural characteristic of the mouth-blown glass process. Because each piece is handcrafted, these subtle variations are intentional and confirm the artisanal quality of your specific holder.
The metal top is detachable, which makes cleaning straightforward. Simply remove the top and handwash both the glass base and the metal component using warm water and a mild detergent.
Yes, the design is versatile enough to function as a single-flower vase. Once you remove the metal top, the glass base serves as a charming vessel for a small floral arrangement.
The holder is designed for standard taper candles. Given its 6-inch height and minimalist aesthetic, it is best suited for candles that complement its modern silhouette.
We recommend handwashing only. To preserve the finish of the electroplated metal and the integrity of the mouth-blown glass, avoid the dishwasher and use only mild soap and warm water.
