Know before you buy
This piece features a natural, unsealed terracotta finish consistent with its historical design. Because it is porous, we recommend using a protective coaster or felt pads if placing it on delicate wood surfaces.
The pot is designed to hold a single candle, but it is best suited for a votive or a small pillar candle rather than a tall taper. Please ensure your candle is placed securely within the 4-inch diameter opening.
No, this piece is designed as a decorative candle holder and does not feature a drainage hole. It is intended for indoor tabletop use rather than planting.
To preserve the rustic finish, simply wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or water, as the terracotta may absorb moisture and change color.
As these are unique pieces with historical character, you should expect slight variations in color, texture, and weathering. These imperfections are part of the item's vintage appeal and ensure that no two pots are exactly alike.
