Flickering candlelight will be even more enchanting behind the matte frosted glass of this votive. In modern literature, Ultima Thule is used to reference the furthest possible place in the world.

I am so glad I bought this frosted candle holder as I have been looking at it for quite some time. I have it on a small round kitchen table.

Creates a soft glow. Has three glass rounded feet on the bottom and makes the holder very steady.

I bought this votive in the clear as well as in this frosted glass. They are both beautiful --- lit or unlit. They work well in any season and they have a lot of detail to them. Can't wait to collect a few more !

I used to shy away from frosted votive holders but let me tell you I am so happy I purchased it. For a simple votive it makes quite a statement! Effective on its own or grouped with other Iittala votives or vases it will blend in with any decor due to its classic lines.
