Egyptian Soft white alabaster stone hand carved candle holder votive by CraftsOfEgypt

These Alabaster candle holders look incredible. They have really solid weight to them and put out a nice glow when using tea light candles. They are almost pure white and have a grainy matte feel to them. They look fantastic in a set with some of the other available styles! Can’t wait to buy more of these.. I had cheap tea light holders for the last decade+, I’m glad I spent the money on these cuz they’re definitely worth it!

This is the largest (tallest and widest) of the votive holders I have purchased in this series. Rough hewn from stone, this particular candle holder has a just hewn from stone feel and look. Obviously this is handmade!. It casts a soft glow, and with a scented votive candle, it adds a lovely ambience. These are heavy for their size (they are stone) and have enough mass that even when the candle burns down, they do not have enough external heat to discolour a surface. I dreaded the thought of cleaning the remaining beeswax out of them. What a snap! Simply put the holder into a bath of hot water for 10 minutes and the wax comes out cleanly with a butter knife (in one piece!!).I am about to purchase more of these to make sets.A lovely addition to anyone who loves votive candles with an earthy holder..

I really enjoy a beautiful candle holder and I have to say these really do fit the bill for setting a dramatic table. Light is a lot brighter than pictures, so they are perfect for outdoors. Very romantic light and they make your dinner guests look great. Definitely going to buy more. I'd been spending a lot more for glass votive holders and these are just as beautiful and at a great price.

Would have been five stars if mine didn't have a bump in the bottom on the inside. I ordered seven of these (varying designs/shapes from CrafsofEgypt) and two had a bump in the middle causes candle to sit angle on their sides and not properly burn. I sent the previous one back, but realized on this one that showed up with a bump that I could use a dremel on it to smooth out the bottom inside.

Lovely packaging but was broken - seller immediately sent a replacement only two days later. The candle holder is stunning and I am going to purchase more. I highly recommend!
