Black Handmade Ceramic Tea Light Candle Holder – Made in USA

Meet your new favourite way to carry candlelight from room to room without looking like you’re conducting a séance. Unless that’s your thing—in which case, no judgment here.

The Black Handmade Ceramic Tea Light Candle Holder brings together old-fashioned candlelight and beautifully practical handmade pottery. Its low, sculptural form holds a tea light securely, while the classic loop handle makes it easy to carry from the kitchen to the living room, bedside table, porch, or wherever the evening happens to take you.

Finished in a deep black glaze, it has a wonderfully understated presence during the day and takes on an entirely different character once the candle is lit. The warm glow against the dark ceramic makes it particularly lovely for autumn evenings, quiet nights at home, or those occasions when a little atmosphere is required.

Designed to accommodate standard tea lights as well as larger candles that fit comfortably within the holder, it’s a simple piece you’ll find yourself reaching for throughout the year.

This design was featured in the Midwest Living Magazine Holiday Gift Guide as an Editor’s Pick.
