One Holder, Two Candle Options
The Vintage Ribbed Glass Candle Holder Set of 6 from Kate Aspen is designed with a two-in-one format: one side of each holder has a smaller opening sized for a standard candlestick (taper), while the opposite side holds a standard tea light. That means you can choose the candle type that suits your table, mood, or event without buying separate holders.
This guide explains how to use the set with each candle type, offers styling ideas, and points out the practical details you should know before you set your table.

How to Use the Holders with Tea Lights
- Choose your tea lights: Use standard tea light candles. The holder is designed to hold them securely without forcing.
- Insert the tea light: Place the tea light into the larger opening on the side of the holder designed for tea lights. It should sit flat and stable.
- Arrange the holders: Use all six together or split them into smaller groupings. The varying heights create visual interest.
- Light and enjoy: Light the tea lights and place the holders on a heat-safe surface. The ribbed glass will create a twinkling effect as the flames flicker.
How to Use the Holders with Taper Candles
- Select taper candles: Choose standard taper candles that fit the smaller opening. The holder is designed for standard candlesticks.
- Insert the taper: Place the base of the taper into the smaller opening on the opposite side of the tea light holder. Ensure it stands upright.
- Position for stability: The thick glass provides sturdiness to hold a candlestick and prevent tipping. Place on a level surface.
- Light and display: Light the tapers and arrange the holders as a centerpiece or along a shelf. The varying heights add elegance.
Styling Ideas for Your Vintage Ribbed Glass Holders
The clear ribbed glass design suits many decor styles, from vintage to modern. Here are a few ways to use the set:
• Mix and match: Use some holders with tea lights and others with tapers on the same table for a dynamic look.
• Create height: The set includes two short, two medium, and two tall holders (though the catalog lists heights in a mixed order; the tallest is 3.0" h, medium 2.6" h, shortest 2.1" h). Group them to create a tiered arrangement.
• Add florals: Place the holders next to a floral arrangement to add depth and warmth.
• Use as a gift: The set comes securely wrapped in bubble wrap and a brown box, making it easy to give as a gift.

What to Consider Before You Buy
The catalog does not specify a maximum taper candle height or provide safety instructions beyond the sturdiness of the glass. Always follow general candle safety: never leave burning candles unattended, keep them away from flammable materials, and place holders on a heat-resistant surface.
The set is currently priced at $16.33 (compared to a catalog price of $23.00), offering good value for six glass holders. However, the catalog does not mention personalization or custom engraving options, so if you need customized favors, this set may not be suitable.
