Product description
Rite Aid, item number 9035055, is described as the metal wire candle holder. The candle holder consists of: a circular metal saucer with three knob-like feet, a tea cup made of mesh wire with a metal twined ribbing along its top circumference, and a scrolled metal handle. Attached to the teacup are three ornaments found in nature. The teacup candle holder is depicted in three colors: yellowish-orange, green and lavender-purple. This item measures 5-inches by 4-inches by 3.15-inches, and is not imported with its candle. We agree with you that the metal wire candle holder is decorative in design over that of providing utilitarian light, for diffused light materializes upon illumination of the tea-light candle.
