Lawn & Garden Collection Terracotta Votive Holder

This is a decorative terracotta votive candle holder housed in its original retail packaging from the 'Lawn & Garden Collection'. The item is constructed from unglazed, reddish-brown terracotta clay and features a four-sided lantern shape with a decorative hanging loop at the apex. The design showcases relief carvings highlighted with a white wash or patina in the recessed areas to accentuate the details. Each face of the holder depicts a celestial sun face with cutout rays to allow candlelight to escape. The roof section is adorned with scrollwork and floral-inspired patterns. The packaging is a vertical cardboard box featuring green and white stripes at the top, a floral border, and a transparent window or printed image of the product. The box carries an original 'Old Time Pottery' price sticker of $1.99. Regarding condition, the exterior box shows signs of shelf wear, including corner compression, edge fraying, and a small tear on the top-left flap. The terracotta item inside appears to be in new-old-stock condition based on the presence of the original packaging. This mass-market decorative piece likely dates from the late 1990s to early 2000s, reflecting a popular celestial 'sun and moon' aesthetic common in home garden decor during that era.
