Reversible red mushroom tealight holder in pressed glass
This red pressed-glass mushroom holder is a characterful yet gentle accent that can be used in two ways. One side features a cavity shaped to fit a standard tealight; flipped over, the mushroom silhouette becomes a stand-alone motif. At 6.2 cm in diameter and 7 cm tall, it works on a table, shelf, bedside surface or windowsill. The deep red tone brings a cosy, warm feel, especially during autumn and winter.
When and how to use it
Switch between the two functions during the day: cavity up in the evening when you want candlelight, decorative side up during daytime as a small object. Red suits romantic dinners, Christmas decor and playful children's-room corners alike. Pressed glass softly refracts light, so the flame flickers not only inside the cavity but also along the mushroom's outline, producing a warm, playful glow.
Safety
Use only standard tealights (approx. 38 mm diameter) or similarly sized small pillar candles. Never leave a flame unattended and keep the piece away from curtains, paper and decorations. Make sure the holder sits on a stable, flat surface, does not wobble and is not exposed to direct draughts. Glass can become hot while lit, so move it only once the candle has fully cooled.
Cleaning
Let wax residue solidify, then lift it out of the cavity gently. Wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth; avoid strong detergents and scouring pads. Dust the decorative side regularly with a dry cloth so the red tone stays vivid. Not dishwasher-safe.
