More about this collection
Candlelight through recycled glass is the whole point of this collection. Each holder is hand-blown and fused over reclaimed Balinese wood, from single tealight holders to low triple rows, so the flame catches in the glass and throws a warm, moving glow across the timber grain.
They make an easy first piece from the craft and a lovely gift. Pair one with a favourite candle, and see the care guide for keeping wax and wood happy together.
Good to know
Questions, answered
What candles do the holders take?
Most are made for tealights, with singles, doubles, triples and a five-well design. Each listing states what it holds and its approximate size.
Is it safe to burn candles in recycled glass?
Yes, used sensibly: keep the flame below the rim, never leave a burning candle unattended, and let the glass cool before touching or moving it.
How do I remove old wax?
Let the wax set fully, then lift or gently prise it out. Softening residue with warm (not boiling) water helps, keeping the wooden base dry throughout. Avoid soaking the piece.
Do they make good gifts?
They are one of our most-gifted pieces: useful, sculptural, and one of a kind, with smaller holders making an affordable handmade present.
