Estonia Hurricane Candle Holder

Details & care

A tiered carved form with finely worked grooves, set within a tall transparent surround — in artichoke green onyx and fossil brown travertine, each carrying its own natural variation. Stone and glass, made up as a hurricane candle holder — the base stacked in two tiers, a wider lower and a narrower upper, both worked in close relief with grooves running one continuous direction across the surface. A recess at the top takes the candle. The glass rises clear and straight above it, unworked. The glass is what keeps a flame steady in a draft, which is the whole reason a hurricane exists — a bare taper on the same base would gutter. Two tiers narrow as they rise, so the base reads as a plinth rather than a foot. No two sets of grooves run exactly alike.

• Measurements: 4″ L × 4″ W × 13″ H
• Material: Artichoke Green Onyx: green onyx — a stone with a cool density and an inward depth that varies naturally from piece to piece · Fossil Brown Travertine: travertine — a porous stone with an open grain and a warm mineral weight, the texture more pronounced
• Color Palette: Artichoke Green Onyx: pale sage to soft green with gray-green veining and cool undertones · Fossil Brown Travertine: deep gray-brown with warm taupe undertones and open mineral variation
• Surface & Texture: Relief-grooved across the full base — the worked surface textured and close, the glass surround smooth by contrast
• Weight: 10 lb
• Natural Variation: Groove depth and rhythm vary slightly across each piece, and the surface of no two reads the same
• Care: Wipe the stone base after each use — do not allow wax residue or moisture to sit on the surface. Use only pillar candles that fit securely within the recess; an oversized candle will allow wax to overflow onto the stone. Clean the stone with a soft damp cloth and pH-neutral soap; avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners. Seal the stone base with a penetrating stone sealer before first use; reseal annually. Clean the glass with warm water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads. Handle the glass and stone base separately when cleaning — do not submerge either in water. Store the glass separately to avoid pressure on the stone relief.
