FAQs
What are the dimensions of the tea light holder?
The exact dimensions are not provided in the product description, but it is designed to hold standard tea light candles.
Can I use this holder outdoors?
While the ceramic is durable, it is best used indoors to protect the glaze from harsh weather conditions and to maintain its decorative appeal. Prolonged outdoor exposure could lead to damage.
Is the blue color consistent across all units?
Due to the nature of ceramic glazes, there may be slight variations in color intensity and pattern, which adds to the unique character of each piece.
How much light does a tea light in this holder provide?
A tea light provides a soft, ambient glow. This holder is designed for mood lighting and decorative purposes, not for bright illumination.
Can I place this holder on a wooden surface without protection?
It is always recommended to place decorative items that involve open flames on a protective coaster or mat, especially on wood surfaces, to guard against heat and potential wax drips.
What type of candle should I use?
Only standard tea light candles should be used in this holder.
Troubleshooting
Tea light does not fit securely.
Ensure you are using a standard-sized tea light. If the fit is still loose, consider using a small amount of museum putty or a similar temporary adhesive at the base of the tea light for stability.
Glaze appears dull after cleaning.
You may have used too harsh a cleaning agent. Gently buff the area with a soft, dry cloth. For future cleaning, use only a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, followed by a dry buff.
Uneven candle burn causes dripping wax.
Ensure the tea light is placed on a level surface within the holder. Trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting to promote an even burn. Place a protective mat or coaster underneath the holder if concerned about wax spills.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply place a standard tea light candle into the designated holder area within the artichoke. Ensure the candle is stable before lighting.
Compatibility: This holder is designed specifically for standard tea light candles. It is not suitable for pillar candles, taper candles, or larger votive candles.
Care: To clean, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glaze. If wax residue occurs, allow it to cool and harden, then gently scrape it away or use a plastic scraper. Do not immerse in water.
