Moon & Star Oil Burners

A small ceramic oil burner with a crescent moon and stars pierced through its sides, 8cm tall, from the value range. It does exactly what a larger burner does at a third of the price: a few drops of fragrance oil in water in the dish on top, or a wax melt dropped in dry, and a tea light beneath, with the moon and stars glowing once the candle is lit. The size suits a bedside, a bathroom shelf or a desk, where a big burner would be in the way, and at 183g it is light enough to move about but sits steady. The moon and stars make it the one for a child's room, a teenager's first candle corner or a stocking, and three pounds means it can be bought for the whole family without thinking. Wipe the dish out while it is still warm and it keeps clean. A small, useful, pretty thing that gets lit far more than its price suggests.

Ceramic, pierced moon and stars. 5 x 4 x 8cm. Weighs 183g.
