Lit Glass Gourds – Marbled Shells With a Nightly Timer for Indoor Use

Lit Glass Gourds – Candlelight without the candle

Glass gourds lit from within, finished with a marbled brass surface. They run on AAA cells and hold a timer that gives you six hours of light a day. Meant for indoors: a table, a shelf or the mantelpiece.

Why choose these glass gourds?

Candles give the right kind of light but they want watching. These give the same warm tone and handle their own on and off. The marbling in the surface means no two come out quite alike.

• Warm-toned glow: a gentle light rather than a bright one.
• Set-and-forget timer: once it is set, they come on again every evening.
• Marbled finish: the brass tone runs through the glass, so each piece differs.
• Cordless power: nothing trailing across the table; put them where you like.
• Shelf-friendly scale: big enough to notice, small enough for a bookcase.

A pair of gourds that light themselves as the evening comes in.

The battery compartment sits underneath and takes three AAA cells, not included. The timer counts from the moment you switch it on, so start it at the hour you want them lighting up each evening. The glass is for indoor use — outside, condensation forms inside it.
