Orrefors Swedish Snowball Votive Holder

This holder is designed to accommodate standard-sized votive or tealight candles. Because the glass is thick and textured, a standard tealight will provide a subtle, diffused glow, while a votive candle will sit slightly higher and offer a brighter light output.

The exterior features a textured, snowball-like surface that can collect dust over time. We recommend using a soft, lint-free cloth or a gentle brush to clean the crevices, or hand-washing it with mild soap and warm water if needed.

The Swedish Snowball is surprisingly substantial, weighing in at 1.53 pounds. Its heavy, solid glass construction ensures it remains stable on flat surfaces and is unlikely to tip over during normal use.

While the design is inspired by winter, its minimalist, sculptural aesthetic makes it a versatile piece for year-round use. It functions beautifully as an ambient lighting accent on a bookshelf, coffee table, or nightstand regardless of the season.

Yes, because the glass is thick and solid, it will retain heat from the candle flame. It is best to let the holder cool down completely before attempting to move it after the candle has been extinguished.
