Know before you buy
No, the Cairo Lantern is designed for indoor use only. The glass and clay materials are best suited for controlled environments to maintain their finish.
This piece is specifically designed to accommodate standard votive candles. We recommend using high-quality votives to ensure a clean burn within the glass vessel.
No, each piece undergoes a precise grinding process to ensure the edges are smooth and safe to handle. The craftsmanship focuses on both aesthetic beauty and functional safety.
The clay base is a separate component that provides a stable foundation for the glass vessel. This design allows for easier cleaning and maintenance of both the glass and the base.
Because each lantern is individually hand-crafted from recycled glass, there may be slight variations in the glass texture or color intensity. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that your piece is one-of-a-kind.
