Large straight alabaster candle holder OFF-WHITE

OFF-WHITE candle holders cut from Egyptian alabaster stone. Alabaster candle holders are unique for the warm, intimate and magical light they offer: the candlelight shines through the stone! Every piece is handmade in Luxor, in Egypt, where the alabaster has been mined for thousands of years since Pharaonic times!
Making an alabaster candle holder is labour and time intensive: the stone needs to be cut gradually by hand so the crystals in the stone do not break. All items are therefore unique and small variations in shape and colour may occur. These candle holders are made of ‘white alabaster’, a stone with a warm, off-white appearance. This alabaster stone is AAA quality with very good finishing: the candle holder is straight on the inside and smooth underneath.
We suggest you use sand on the bottom of the candle holder to prevent candlewax from sticking.
It is important to know that alabaster CANNOT be cleaned with water! Use fine sandpaper to remove stains.
