Tea light holders from India: patterns of light

Tea light holders from India turn a tiny candle into a pattern of light on walls and tables. Pierced and etched metal, mosaic and coloured glass, brass and hand-painted ceramic holders are made by artisans across India, and they are among the most giftable lighting pieces we supply.

When buyers ask about tea light holders, we usually ask whether they are for festive displays, everyday decor or gift sets.

Types of tea light holders

Pierced and etched metal

Moradabad metalworkers pierce brass and iron with patterns that cast stars and florals on surrounding surfaces.

Glass holders

Mosaic, coloured and recycled glass holders glow warmly when lit.

Ceramic and terracotta

Hand-painted ceramic and clay holders in bright colours.

Lanterns

Small table and garden lanterns in metal and glass for indoor and outdoor use.

Gift sets

Holders can be packed in sets with tea light candles, making a ready gift for festivals and corporate gifting.

Seasonal planning

Tea light holders peak around Diwali, Christmas and weddings. Please plan festive orders a few months ahead.

Pairing

They look beautiful with diyas, candle stands and serving trays for table displays.

Minimum quantities and packing

Minimums are per design. Glass is packed in cell cartons and metal is wrapped to protect finishes. Prices are quoted ex-factory, FOB, CFR or CIF to your port.

Questions about tea light holders from India

Are metal holders safe with candles?

Yes, when used on a heat-safe surface and never left unattended.

Can I order mixed designs?

Yes, mixed sets are popular.

Can you include candles?

Yes, in gift sets.

What affects the price

Material, size and decoration matter most. Pierced brass costs more than iron or glass; hand-painted ceramics depend on the detail.

Building a display

Mixing heights and materials creates a lively display: a few pierced brass holders, a cluster of glass holders and a lantern or two. Sets of three are easy for customers to buy as gifts.

Indoor and outdoor

Glass and metal lanterns can be used outdoors on patios and in gardens. Clay and painted holders are best kept indoors.
