Product description
You submitted a photograph of a Halloween Stained Glass Tealight Holder Assortment identified as item number A079FA00817. The assortment consists of six articles with glass heads (a ghost, Frankenstein, a jack-o’-lantern in a witch hat, a black cat, a bat and a vampire) that are each attached to an iron stand and frame, and measure approximately 10” in height x 6” across. When a tealight candle (not included) is placed on the stand behind the glass head and lit, the light illuminates the glass face. Although referred to as a “candle holder assortment”, these are not functional candleholders, but decorative glass and iron articles that allow light to shine through from an inserted candle to illuminate the eerie decorations on the glass faces. The articles are intended for the home to help create a scary environment for the Halloween holiday.
