Know before you buy
While the ceramic material is durable, it is best suited for covered porches or indoor use. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather may degrade the rope or the finish over time.
This lantern is designed specifically for a standard tea light candle. Because the opening is sized for tea lights, larger votives or pillar candles will not fit properly.
The total hanging height is between 16 and 18 inches, including the rope. While the rope is fixed, you can easily shorten the drop by tying a knot in the rope or using an additional hook or chain to adjust the placement.
Yes, ceramic retains heat, so the lantern body may become warm to the touch while the candle is burning. Always allow the lantern to cool completely before handling it after use.
The lantern is made of terracotta, which has a solid, substantial feel. It is sturdy enough to hang securely from standard hooks or brackets, provided they are rated for the weight of a ceramic object.
