For this idiosyncratic design Peter Rath drew from classical shapes from our range. So he picked a glass vessel we lovingly call “cheese cover” although it stems from traditional oil lamps.
Here the vessel is held by a bare band of brass and supported on three legs protruding from this belt. The metal is then gilded to give it a more elaborate demure.
Inside the vessel there sits a 3-ended cross with sockets for wax candles. This is finished in the same style as the legs.
It makes a perfect centre piece for a picnic or garden table elevating the simplest snack to a social event.
