Candlelight will look lovely glistening inside this desert-hued votive. Named Kastehelmi (dewdrop) after the bubbled detailing on the pressed glass, this collection was originally produced from 1964-1988 and brought back to celebrate Oiva Toikka's 50 year mark as a designer. 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.

It's golden...when it's lit
March 29, 2019
I bought two of these,m partly on the recommendation of other reviewers who said that they have a fantastic golden color. When I took them out of the box, I saw medium honey brown glass, about halfway between amber and brown. I didn't see the "gold" others described. However, I have to agree that when a candle is burning in them, you do get a very nice gold effect. Beautiful for the fall months or whenever you want a glittering goldenness. I like the sale price, too.

I like these candle holders because they work well over multiple holidays and with different color schemes. They put off a nice golden glow.
Pros
Heavy weight, indicating quality workmanship.
Neutral color.
Not afraid to leave lit candle in them when not in room -- absolutely no leakage or tip-over capability.

A Golden Sparkly Glow!
November 29, 2018
When I saw that this color was called desert, I expected it to be more orange. I got the most pleasant surprise when I put a small votive candle in and it glowed GOLD!!! A most beautiful gold! It goes with my Christmas decor with the other red and green kastehelmi votives I have. I’m so thrilled about this color! I had no idea. This color is so beautiful for all year round. I got these on sale which I can’t fathom why they would be...I think it’s because people have the wrong idea about the actual color! People this is a sparkly gold glowing votive that you can’t pass up! It’s goegeous and I love it!
