Alconbury Ridged Tealight Holder
A unique piece
These glass tea light holders are mouth-blown in Firozabad, the centre of India’s glassmaking industry, known for its exceptionally high quality glass production. Because they’re individually made, no two are exactly alike. One might be a touch smaller than another, you might see a tiny air bubble trapped in the glass, or a swirl where it expanded as it was blown. It’s all part of the personality of something created by an artisan rather than a machine.
Design detail
The muted exterior is also a hands-on process, created by individually sand blasting each piece which leaves them with a gentle, sea-washed glass effect. In contrast, the interior is left as it is, creating an interesting contrast in textures between matt and glossy and, when lit from within (we recommend a standard sized tealight like our Forster), a captivating effect.
A styling tip or two
Because of its interesting shape and texture, Alconbury looks best as part of a display where it can be really appreciated. Try combining it with just a couple of other objects with a similarly minimal feel – our Corinium and Castleford bottles, for instance, or one of the other pieces in the Alconbury collection.
