Battersea Glass Candlestick Holder 6.5cm - Dinner & Taper Candle Holder

Dinner Candle Holder for Table Settings

As a dinner candle holder, the Battersea design is simple enough for everyday use but polished enough for more formal table settings.

It can be used singly for a minimal look or repeated down the centre of a table for a more structured candle display.

The clear glass also makes it easy to coordinate with white, ivory, red, coloured or ritual candles without creating a clash.

Taper Candle Holder

The 25mm opening makes this particularly suitable as a taper candle holder.

A correctly fitted taper should sit upright and securely without wobbling.

Always check the candle is properly seated before lighting, especially if the candle has been hand-poured or varies slightly in diameter.

Altar & Ritual Candle Holder

This holder can also be used on an altar or ritual table where a stable base is needed for a taller candle.

Its neutral clear glass suits a wide range of candle colours and symbolic practices without adding its own fixed meaning.

For spiritual or ceremonial use, the holder simply provides a practical and visually clean base for the candle.

Simple Clear Glass Design

The clear glass construction gives the holder a timeless look.

Rather than feeling heavily decorative, it allows the candle itself to remain the focus.

That makes it suitable for:

• dining tables
• weddings and events
• seasonal displays
• mantelpieces
• altars and ritual spaces
• meditation areas
• windowsills
• grouped candle arrangements

Looks Beautiful in Multiples

A single holder works well for a small table or altar, but the Battersea design is especially effective when several are grouped together.

Repeated holders can create rhythm across a dining table or event display while keeping the overall look coordinated and uncluttered.

Using matching or contrasting taper candles gives you flexibility to change the mood without changing the holders.

Candle Fit & Stability

Before lighting, place the candle into the opening and make sure it stands fully upright.

The candle should feel secure rather than loose or tilted.

If the base is slightly too wide, trim the candle base only with care. Do not modify the glass holder.

If the candle is too narrow to sit securely, use a candle specifically sized for the opening rather than trying to wedge it in place.

Candle Safety

Always place the holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

For safer use:

• never leave a burning candle unattended
• keep away from children and pets
• ensure the candle is firmly fitted and upright
• keep away from curtains, paper and other flammable materials
• leave at least 10cm / 4″ between burning candles
• keep away from draughts and direct heat sources
• do not move the holder while the candle is lit
• allow the glass and wax to cool before handling
• discontinue use if the glass becomes chipped or cracked

Care

Allow the holder to cool fully before cleaning.

Wipe gently with a soft cloth and mild glass-safe cleaner where needed.

Avoid sudden temperature changes, abrasive pads and hard knocks, as these may damage the glass.
