Natural alabaster tealight holders that reveal a soft, warm light. Each piece has its own unique nuances and transparencies, making for a singular presence in interiors as well as on terraces and exceptional tables.
Light revealed by stone
Alabaster is a naturally translucent stone. When the flame is lit, its material lets the light filter through and reveals its nuances, veins, and natural variations.
Our votive candle holders are handcrafted in Egypt, using artisanal expertise passed down through generations. Each piece is therefore slightly different, with its own depth and its own character.
No two pieces are perfectly identical. And that is precisely what makes them beautiful.

Alabaster is a natural stone. Each block features its own unique shades, veining, transparency, and textural variations. The tealight holders may therefore show slight differences in color or appearance: these are part of the natural and artisanal character of each piece.
Nilazur tea light holders are crafted in Egypt by artisans who carry on the traditional know-how of working with alabaster. Each piece is worked to reveal the stone's natural qualities and its ability to diffuse light.

Some models can be used on a terrace, in a garden, or around a pool to create a warm atmosphere. However, we recommend protecting them from rain, prolonged humidity, and inclement weather.
Gently clean your tea light holder with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents, immersion, and prolonged contact with water.
