{"product_id":"gold-jali-t-light-lanterns","title":"Gold Jali T-Light Lanterns - Set of 4 Pierced Metal Diyas","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour tapered gold lanterns with pierced jali walls, four and a half inches across the top and three and a half inches tall. Unlike the flat diyas in this collection, the light does not come off the top of these - it comes out sideways through the cut pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 4 pierced t-light lanterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional add-on: 4 multicolour bandhani potli bags, 8 x 8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5 in diameter at the top, 3.5 in high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e430 g for the set of 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: iron, gold polished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tea light in an open dish lights the ceiling. A tea light inside a pierced shade throws the pattern of the cutwork onto whatever is next to it - the wall, the tablecloth, the back of the console. That is a different effect and it is the reason to own these alongside, rather than instead of, a set of flat diyas. Four is enough because each one is doing more work than a flat diya does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich one do I need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry four gold metal shapes and they are genuinely different objects, not\ncolourways of one thing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLotus, 5 in, set of 6\u003c\/strong\u003e - the widest and most sculptural, with long pointed\npetals that splay outward like an open water lily. The showpiece of the four.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDhanteras blossom, 4 in, set of 10\u003c\/strong\u003e - shallow and simple, six rounded lobes.\nThe one to buy when you want a lot of small lights across a long table.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKamal cup, 3.25 in, set of 10\u003c\/strong\u003e - the only deep one, a fluted little bowl\n1.75 in tall. Holds the flame down inside, so it does not blow out as easily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJali shade, 4.5 in, set of 4\u003c\/strong\u003e - not a dish at all but a tapered pierced\nlantern 3.5 in tall. The light comes out through the cut pattern rather than off the top.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a plain wall where the cast pattern has somewhere to land. A bookshelf, a mantel, a bedside table, either side of a mirror. They also work as a low table lamp on a side table when you are not lighting a whole room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGifting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour holders is a neat gift on its own, and the shape reads as a lantern rather than a festival item - so it does not get put away in November.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size tea light fits?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA standard 1.5 inch tea light, the size sold in bags at any grocery store. LED tea lights of the same size sit just as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWipe with a soft dry cloth. This is iron under a gold polish, so keep it dry, do not put it in the dishwasher, and wipe out any spilled wax once it has cooled and lifted out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the outside get hot?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe metal warms up with a real tea light burning inside, the way any metal lantern does. Set it on a heat-safe surface and give it a minute to cool before you move it. An LED tea light avoids the question entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I float these in water?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. These are iron under a gold polish, and standing water will work under the finish and cause rust. For floating diyas you want an urli bowl instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo they stack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey nest, one inside the next, so all four store in the footprint of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use them outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor an evening, yes - a covered porch or a still patio is fine. Bring them in overnight. Dew and sprinklers are what damage a gold polish, not the outdoors itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere are these made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndia, by hand. Small differences between pieces in a set are normal and are how you can tell handwork from a machine-pressed import.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order a larger quantity for an event?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Sets like this go out for weddings, temple events and office Diwali parties fairly often. Message us with your date and rough numbers before you order a set of four and we will tell you what we can hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree insured shipping across the USA and Canada.
