Decorated Glass Votive/Candle Holder

This item is a small, clear glass votive or candle holder, circular in shape, with a slightly flared rim. Its primary decorative feature consists of numerous faceted glass or acrylic jewels, adhered to the exterior surface of the glass container. The jewels are in varying shades of blue, green, and purple, arranged in an irregular, mosaic-like pattern that covers the majority of the holder's body. There are two distinct shapes of jewels visible: larger, somewhat hexagonal or octagonal facets, and smaller, rounder, cabochon-like pieces. The larger facets are predominantly turquoise (light blue-green), emerald green, and a deep violet-purple, exhibiting a translucent quality that allows light to pass through. The smaller, rounder pieces appear to be in similar colorways, filling in gaps between the larger jewels. The overall construction suggests a craft or DIY project, as the adhesive used to attach the jewels is visible in some areas, particularly where the jewels meet the clear glass. The underlying glass container appears to be a repurposed jar or a basic votive glass. No specific maker's marks or signatures are discernible from the image. The condition appears good, with no obvious signs of chips or cracks in the glass or the attached jewels. The reflective surface of the jewels creates a shimmering effect, designed to enhance the glow of a candle placed inside. The estimated age is relatively modern, likely a contemporary craft piece rather than an antique. Its unique aspect lies in the handmade aesthetic and the vibrant color combination, providing a decorative accent suited for various interior styles.
