Product Info: Soapstone
I would give it a 5 star........ But they came package very very well, plus they are super cute!!!Because these are handcrafted soapstone, the Amazon product description says some color/pattern variations are to be expected. They weren’t kidding---one of my candleholders is a lovely shade of pink; the other is brown. One candleholder has a distinct and solid ring all the way around the top. The other is half etched in—parts of the holder show a very faint ring line but it completely disappears on the other sides.I use these for formal occasions in our dining room; it’s doubtful anyone scrutinizes them as closely as I do. Instead, guests have commented on the lovely glow and tasteful leaf pattern. I agree—they are very attractive once lit and on display. These come with tea light candles, so they’re ready for immediate use. The product description also says the holders come with an official NOVICA story card certifying quality and authenticity. Mine came with no information whatsoever.These are pretty candleholders and look well made, but I was a little disappointed mine came with no certification and have way more color/pattern variation than I expected.
