Glass tea light holder with an ice effect

The Ultima Thule Tealight holders from Iittala are masterpieces of craftsmanship, created through the long and arduous work of designer Tapio Wirkkala. The unique, textured effect of the glass mimics the melting ice of Lapland’s glaciers. Hence the name Ultima Thule —which is the name of the world’s northernmost point on land. Available in clear or frosted glass, these tea light holders are perfect for creating a cozy, Scandinavian-inspired atmosphere in your home. For example, they can be placed on a tray on the dining table or on a side table next to the couch.
