FAQs

What are the dimensions of the village house ornament?

Each house tea light candle holder measures approximately 14 centimeters in height, 13 centimeters in width, and 10 centimeters in depth.

Does it come with a candle?

No, the tea light candle is not included with the ornament. You will need to provide your own standard tea light candles.

Can this be used outdoors?

Yes, it can be used outdoors, but it is best placed in a sheltered area away from direct rain and strong winds to preserve its condition and finish.

How should I clean the ornament?

Gently wipe the ornament with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or submerging it in water.

Is the design the same for all houses?

While they share the same theme, each house is handpainted, meaning there may be slight variations in details, making each one unique.

What kind of ambiance does it create?

When lit with a tea light, it creates a warm, magical, and cozy ambiance as the light glows through the windows and openings.

What is the finish of the ornament?

The ornament features a weathered cream finish, giving it a timeless and rustic appeal.

Troubleshooting

Ornament is wobbly

Ensure the surface it's placed on is flat and stable. Check if the base of the ornament is even; minor adjustments might be possible if it's a slight imperfection.

Candle flickers unevenly or goes out

Ensure the tea light is centered and the opening is not obstructed. Check the candle's wick and try a different tea light if necessary.

Paint appears chipped or faded

This is likely due to age or harsh cleaning. Handle with care and clean only with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods which can fade paint.

Small cracks have appeared

Ceramic can be prone to cracking if subjected to sudden temperature changes or impact. Handle gently and avoid placing near heat sources that cause extreme temperature fluctuations.
