To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Finnish independence, iittala has created a special collection of designs in ultramarine blue. The hue was born from a special glass recipe at iittala's glass factory in Finland and pays tribute to the clarity and true warmth of the Finnish national character. It's especially stunning on Oiva Toikka's Kastehelmi (Dewdrop) design, named after the bubbled detailing on the pressed glass. Pop tealights in a few of these to line up along a windowsill or down the center of the dining room table for timeless ambiance.
First founded as a glassworks company in 1881, iittala is now a leading company in modern Finnish design producing a range of dinnerware, glassware and art pieces.

I just started collecting the Kastehelmi candle holders and I fell in love with its looks and versatility. I even use it as a mini vase for the flowers that my dog had trampled on (at least now I can't be mad at him anymore for doing so :) They blend well with all the other Iittala votives and since they are bigger they don't look lost on their own. Beautiful colors as well, lit or unlit. And as always, Finnstyle consistently makes sure to get my orders in lightning speed to me! Thank you!

I collect these candle holders, so of course I had to have the one commemorating Finland's 100th birthday. The blue is beautiful and vibrant, and the glass is nice and hefty. It's a very nice addition to my collection!
Is the votive candle included with the holder? And if not, what size will fit? Thank you.

the candles are not included with the votive holder.
The votive holder has a 3 inch diameter. Standard votive candle sizes are typically used for this.
