Set Of Twelve 18th-century Blown-glass Tea Lights

Here is a beautiful collection of 18th-century blown-glass tea lights. They were placed in wire-frame chandeliers filled with oil, with a small wick in a floating cup, which provided light for a room. Very common at the time, these candle holders were made locally in workshops for everyday use and crafted rather simply, as they were considered disposable items since they broke very easily. Thus, these are what are known as “ephemeral” objects, and that is precisely what makes them so delicate and touching today.
