A tea-light holder shaped into the petals of a lotus flower, in sparkling red crystal glass. At 11 × 5.5 cm, the holder softens the candle's flame into a warm, vivid red glow that lights a space with a homely feel.
The lotus symbol
The lotus is the pure flower that rises from the mud above the water – a recurring motif in Eastern art and religion. In tradition it is held to be a symbol of purity and spiritual unfolding: the image of rising from obscurity towards the light. The glow of a lit candle evokes this meaning especially beautifully.
The red shade
Red is one of the warm, vivid, homely colours – it brings an intimate, slightly festive mood. The cut surface of the crystal glass breaks the light, so the candle's flame scatters across the holder in small, sparkling points.
Use
The holder suits both votive candles and tea lights. It looks lovely on a table, a shelf, a windowsill or in a meditation corner. It is best placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface, and the flame should not be left unattended.
Good to know
Made of crystal glass, it needs gentle hand washing. After the candle burns out, it is best to let the holder cool before handling it.
