These special candle votives emulate the most primal of elements reflecting the artists' passions and the fire of imagination. Votives hold standard tealight candles (included).
The "Fireball Votives" are blown and sculpted from flameworked borosilicate glass and are fumed with 24 carat gold on the glass. Borosilicate is heat resistant and will not break from a candle flame. However, an LED tealight is recommended. Never use a tea light that has a plastic bottom, as the plastic may catch fire. Scented candles have oils that may cause soot to gather on the glass and should not be used. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
