Know before you buy
This piece is specifically designed to hold a standard votive candle. For the best results, use a high-quality wax votive to ensure a clean burn that complements the glass's light-refracting properties.
To keep the glass looking its best, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and warm water. You can also simply wipe it down with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust or fingerprints.
No, the Polar Clear Votive is designed exclusively for indoor use. Placing it outdoors may expose the glass to elements that could affect its finish or stability.
Absolutely. The sculptural, abstract design is intended to stand on its own as a piece of art. It catches and refracts ambient light beautifully even when not holding a candle.
No assembly is required. The piece arrives as a single, solid glass sculpture ready to be placed on your tabletop or shelf immediately.
