Know before you buy
Yes, the terra cotta construction is durable enough for outdoor use. However, we recommend placing it in a sheltered area to protect the flame from wind and prevent excessive weathering of the natural material.
Because of the open, rustic nature of the tile, a standard tea light or a small votive candle works best. Ensure the candle is placed on a stable, flat portion of the tile to prevent tipping.
The piece is crafted from authentic, raw terra cotta. It is not sealed, which allows it to maintain its natural, porous aesthetic and earthy texture.
You can place a stick of incense or a bundle of palo santo directly on the tile. Since terra cotta is heat-resistant, it safely catches falling ash, but always ensure the burning end is positioned over the center of the tile.
The product does not include mounting hardware. Due to the weight and unique shape of the terra cotta, you will need to select appropriate screws or brackets based on the specific wall material where you plan to hang it.
