To celebrate the anniversary of Finnish independence, two candles are placed in the windows of those who live in Finland. However, it's a tradition anyone can partake in anywhere in the world, and this iittala Kastehelmi candeholders are the perfect set is the perfect set to use. The emerald hue captures the Finnish forests, the part of nature Finns hold closest to their hearts. It's also a beautiful color to use for the holidays and beyond with its verdant glow. The jewel tone is especially stunning on Oiva Toikka's Kastehelmi (Dewdrop) design, named after the bubbled detailing on the pressed glass. Pop tealights in a few of these to line up along a windowsill or down the center of the dining room table for timeless ambiance.

I love this emerald green so much that I sent these candleholders to friends out as Christmas presents. They are a big hit. The votives can be kept them out year round or stored with Christmas decorations snd pulled out every December. Iittala’s products are always top-notch.

I purchased these for use in a small outdoor wedding. They are beautiful! The design is lovely. The color is not as bright green as the photo. Finnstyle safely packed the glass and delivered on time with good communication. I recommend both product and company!

Love the Kastehelmi tea light holders when mixed and matched with other iittala pieces as well as Marimekko. I also use them for tiny potted plants /succulents.

I received these free along with my order as part of a Christmas promotion and I'm so glad I did. They're nicer than I anticipated. Good solid weight, rich color and appealing design. I put them on the windowsill over the kitchen sink and put in some battery-operated votives (so I don't have to supervise a flame). They lift my mood during these dark winter nights and will be back on my windowsill every Christmastime. Great promotion!

Warm, wonderful and cozy. I bought 3, one for myself and 2 as Christmas gifts. The pocket is perfect for my iPhone or actually anything I need handy. The pocket is big enough to stick your hands in for a quick warm up. I love it!
