This large candle holder, shaped like an opening lotus flower, is made of crystal glass and is a real focal point in any space. At 9.5 × 20 cm, the piece suits thicker candles up to 6 cm in diameter.
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 large, opening petals and the glow of a lit candle together make an especially expressive effect.
Use
The holder is made for thicker candles up to 6 cm in diameter. It makes an emphatic table piece in a living room, on a dining table or in a meditation corner. It is best placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface, and the flame should not be left unattended. The cut surface of the crystal glass breaks the light, so the flame gives a scattered, sparkling glow.
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.
