CraftsOfEgypt Egyptian Real Alabaster Stone/Marble Candle Holder Votive

It was even nicer than I was expecting. I was very impressed with the quality and glow of these candle holders

Like: I like this candle holder. This one is essentially one color although there is a small area where the alabaster starts to darken.Dislike: the very bottom of the candle holder has an area where the alabaster looks as if it's crazed. It's not broken or chipped, it's just that the natural rock has non-uniform structure. It's hardly noticeable.There are a few other imperfections. One is the hole where the candle goes is off center to the center of the candle holder. It's hardly noticeable. The outside rim of the candleholder looks as if whoever was polishing the stone left the stone on the grinder/wheel a wee bit too long. The lip of the candle holder isn't round.Overall impression is the candle holder should last a long time. It's not bad, it's not great. It's a nice functional candle holder that has a lot of charm.

I got a set of these for my parents for their 37th anniversary. Apparently alabaster is the gift for 37 years. They are very nice quality and look so pretty with a tea light.

It's very plain. Nothing at all like what is pictured. Very disappointed.

This is a very pretty alabaster candle holder. It really is not suitable for a votive candle though....as specified. It's perfect for tea light candles. I gave it four stars, not 5,only because it was advertised as a votive candle holder, and that's what I needed.
