Customer Reviews for Egyptian Alabaster 4.5" x 4.5" Cylinder Votives / Candle Holders

Egyptian alabaster votives provide the most beautiful and romantic illumination for candles and tea lights. A unique, translucent marble prized since the golden age of the Pharaohs as the ultimate life style item, has a fine grained luster and luminous glow which reflects warmth and natural beauty. Each piece is fashioned by master craftsmen, using quality stones and time tested techniques from trained artisans. Due to the handcrafted construction and organic variation in the alabaster itself, each creation is one-of-a-kind, imbued with its own unique colors and textures, milky veins and amber-hued swirls. Alabaster votives can be used to create a soothing, magical atmosphere in every room of the house or patio. A simple tea light is sufficient to transform the ordinary into the fabulous.   Features: Egyptian alabaster   Dimensions: 4.5" x 4.5"   Set of 3   Recommended Care:   Although alabaster does not tend to overheat like glass or metal, it is never recommended to burn candles too close to the wall of the votive container, nor is it recommended to burn candles for more than 2 hours   If wax does drip onto the alabaster itself, remove gently with a blunt object when it has cooled and congealed   Since alabaster is as absorbent as marble, colored candles are not recommended. Use only white or ivory candles to maintain the most natural illumination.   Direct sunlight will lighten the color of alabaster, but does not affect its illumination. To keep original color, it is best to not keep in sunlight for long periods of time.   Alabaster can be washed if candles smoke and leave a residue. Use the rough side of a sponge with soap to remove any stains.   It is recommended to use tea lights or glass encased votive candles as these will keep your votives clean for immediate use Model: 3-4.5x4.5 cyl
