This lotus flower candle holder is made of capiz sea shells, handcrafted painstakingly to create a lovely work of art. The time-intensive handcrafting process requires harvesting, soaking, softening, cutting, and bending each shell. The pieces are then artfully arranged in a hand-painted metal frame. Place a tealight candle inside and watch as the capiz petals gracefully flicker.
The lotus flower tea light holder looks lovely on my shrine. The material is quite delicate and the gold colour is rich without being overly intense. Sadly, a few of the outer petals are slightly cracked, which might have occurred in the packaging I decided to keep it anyway as I don’t want to part with it. Except for that, I would have given it 5 stars.. Beth. Ottawa, ON. Sat May 09 2020
