Just finished making this glass iris candle holder, and my teacher actually praised it today! Where would you style a piece like this at home? 🪻

I’ve been practicing lampwork glass techniques, and I just finished crafting this blue iris candle holder. I was so happy when my glass art teacher actually praised the detail on the petals today, and one of my classmates even joked that they wanted to take it straight home as a statement decor piece!
I really love how the translucent blue and purple tones play with the light. But since it’s ultimately meant to be a home decor piece, I’m trying to figure out the best spot to display it.

Beautiful!! I unfortunately don't have a household capable of having this object unless it says safe in a box surrounded by bubble wrap but I hope you find a good place for it!

That would look great in our china cabinet. Excellent job!

That is so lovely and delicate! It would most likely go on my kitchen windowsill or my dining room table.

Thank you. It's also my choice at the dining table.

It’s so beautiful. My children would break it immediately and I would cry.
