Hand Turned Light Brown Onyx Goblets Candleholders, Set of 2

About the Item

These exquisite onyx goblet candle holders are crafted from light brown onyx, showcasing stunning layers of goldbrown, white, and brown veining. The semi-translucent nature of portions of this stone allows them to be beautifully backlit when tea candles are placed inside, creating a warm and enchanting ambiance. Hand-crafted from single pieces of metamorphic onyx, these unique goblets are likely made in Greece by skilled artisans. Solid stone blocks are turned on lathes to create these beautiful pieces, highlighting the craftsmanship and artistry involved in their creation. These onyx goblet candle holders are unique, with gorgeous natural patterning and soft hues of light brown coloring. Each small cup is hand polished, resulting in an ultra-smooth and stunning surface. The patterning of each goblet is very pretty and wonderfully different, adding to their unique charm. To care for these goblet candle holders, it is recommended to use a damp cloth for gentle cleaning. It is important to avoid using microwave ovens, dishwashers, or strong detergents, as they may damage the delicate onyx. These goblet candle holders are more than just decorative pieces; they are a testament to the skill and dedication of the artisans who make them. Whether used for a romantic dinner, a relaxing bath, or simply as a beautiful accent in your home, these onyx goblet candle holders are sure to add a touch of elegance and warmth to any setting.
