This handmade tea light holder is designed in the shape of an open lotus flower, with translucent capiz shell petals. Base and shell edging are gold. Use with wax or battery-powered tea light holder.
Capiz shells are actually the outer shell of of a marine mollusk, whose scientific name is placuna placenta, more commonly known as "windowpane oyster". Once cleaned, the shells are naturally translucent and, when painted, allow for a glorious interplay between light and color.
Measures 6 to 6.5" from tip to tip, 2.5" high.
