Inspired by the Fête des Lumières in Lyon, France, this beautiful tradition takes place annually on December 8th. On this day, residents across the city place votive candles in small glass containers in their windows, joining the festival and illuminating the streets with a warm, welcoming glow.
Illuminate the beautiful bubbled glass, or serve up an apéritif with a flourish.
Due to the handmade nature of this votive, the base isn't completely flat. We will therefore be including a small amount of crushed whelk shells, which you can add to create a level surface for candles. Interested in buying more? You'll find it here.
