{"product_id":"peacock-tealight-holder","title":"Peacock Tealight Holder","description":"\u003cp\u003eA peacock in German Silver, sitting with its tail fanned and a glass cup set into its back for a tealight. The body is chased with overlapping feathers from the breast to the tail, the head and beak are modelled in the round, and the fan behind is worked on both faces — it reads from behind as well as from the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe glass cup is the part that matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe tealight sits in a clear glass cup that lifts straight out.\u003c\/strong\u003e Three things follow from that, and they are the difference between a piece you use and one you put away after a week:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe wax never touches the metal.\u003c\/strong\u003e Spent wax goes in the bin with the tealight shell; there is nothing to scrape out of chased feather work — which, if you have ever tried it, is a job you only do once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe flame is not sitting against bare metal.\u003c\/strong\u003e The glass takes the heat first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt washes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lift the cup out, wash the glass, dry the metal separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes an ordinary tealight — the standard supermarket size, in its own aluminium shell. Nothing special to order, and nothing proprietary to run out of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is not\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a candle holder, not a diya. There is no oil well and no wick pin — it is not made to burn oil or ghee, and we would not use it that way. If you want an oil lamp, our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/chirag-lamp-with-plate\"\u003eChirag Lamp \u0026amp; Plate\u003c\/a\u003e is built for exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLighting it safely\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNever burn a tealight in it without the glass cup.\u003c\/strong\u003e That cup is doing a job.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe metal gets hot,\u003c\/strong\u003e and so does the glass. There is no handle and no insulation here — let the whole thing cool before you move it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStand it on a hard, level surface, clear of curtains and loose cloth, and do not leave it burning unattended.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGerman Silver is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc. There is no silver in it — the name describes the colour, not the content. There is no gold polish anywhere on this piece; it is the bare alloy throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake the glass cup out before you clean it. Wash the glass; keep water off the metal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe the raised feathers with a dry cotton cloth and leave the recesses alone. \u003cstrong\u003eNo metal polish and no scouring powder\u003c\/strong\u003e — the chasing on the tail is fine and shallow, and polish flattens it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt will darken over a few months, first inside the feather cuts. That is tarnish, not damage, and on a piece with this much texture the darkness in the low points is what makes the feathers read. The \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/care-guide\"\u003ecare guide\u003c\/a\u003e has the full method.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoot will collect above the cup if you burn it often. A dry cloth takes it off; leaving it to build up is what eventually needs real cleaning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it goes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA console table by the door, a mandir shelf, a dining table at Diwali, an office desk. It is a decorative piece rather than a pooja object, which makes it one of the easier things to give: it carries no expectation about how the recipient keeps their home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits \u003cstrong\u003eDiwali and Dhanteras\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003egriha pravesh\u003c\/strong\u003e, wedding and anniversary gifting, and corporate gifting where one box has to work for a list of people you do not know well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne peacock tealight holder, German Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne clear glass tealight cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue velvet gift box with a brass clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTealights are not included, and the flowers, lantern and card in the photographs are styling, not part of the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice includes GST.\u003c\/strong\u003e Prepaid only — we do not offer cash on delivery.
