Know before you buy
This votive is specifically designed to hold a standard tea light candle.
The glass is an off-white, semi-translucent finish. It is designed to diffuse the light from the candle, creating a soft, ambient glow rather than a direct beam.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. The glass and finish are not rated for exposure to outdoor elements.
Because of the figurative shape, you should gently hand wash the interior with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the glass surface.
As these are handmade in Sweden, there may be slight variations in the glass finish or shape. These subtle differences are characteristic of the artisanal process and ensure each piece is unique.
