Tortoise Shell Tea Light
Tortoise Shell Tea Light
A sculptural ceramic tealight holder with a glossy tortoiseshell glaze. The rounded form sits on a small pedestal base, with an open front that frames the candle and creates a soft, contained pool of light. The surface shifts from deep black to mottled amber and brown tones, giving it a rich, almost glass-like finish.
- Vintage ceramic tealight holder, maker unknown
- High-gloss tortoiseshell-style glaze in black, amber and brown
- Pedestal base with rounded body and open front
- Designed to hold a single tealight or small candle
Very good vintage condition with light, age-appropriate signs of use. Glaze is bright and intact, with no major chips or cracks visible.
Works well on a sideboard, bedside table or low shelf, especially in the evening when lit. The dark, reflective glaze pairs nicely with mid-century teak and other ceramics, adding a small but striking accent to a room.

Testimonials
Ed & Imogen
We bought a stunning wall unit from Evengrain for Ed’s birthday, and it’s truly transformed our living space. Every morning, we wake up and see it from bed—it brings us joy daily, and we absolutely love it."
Rosie
“The McIntosh dining table from Evengrain now sits at the heart of my Margate design studio. It’s where we spread out projects, meet clients and spend most of our day.”
Ryan
“We bought a Jentique bureau from Evengrain to use as a maître d’ station in our Folkestone restaurant, and it works perfectly. It’s practical, beautifully made and adds a calm, mid-century character to the entrance that guests always comment on.”
