*SOLD* This gorgeous little tealight candle holder is vintage and made of frosted light blue glass. It has two pieces: the stand that the tealight sits on, and the shade that you put over the candle once it's lit. The shade has little ridges on the inside of it so that it sits straight on the stand, and it has a hole in the top for the heat to escape. When it is lit, it is just the cutest thing in the world!

This candle holder measures 5 1/2 inches high and the shade is about 4 inches in diameter. It is in great vintage/used condition - no chips, cracks, discoloration, or other damage. There is only a very small amount of scratching that I had to search for, mostly around the edges. Overall, great considering this little glass item is probably from the 80's.

Small Green Enamel Rustic Tea Kettle with Black Top


*SOLD* This sweet little tea kettle would be perfect for your farmhouse magnolia-inspired decor. This enamel teapot measures just 5 1/2 inches long and 4 1/2 inches wide. The finish on the teapot is rustic, with dings, enamel loss, and scratches to show that it has lived an interesting life. I believe this was once considered a toy based on its size - it certainly is the right size for a child's play kitchen. It would also be great for camping. The black lid feels like it may be made out of a different material, maybe ceramic? The lid just sits on top of the teapot, it doesn't snap into place. Please see photos for condition. Stamped "Made in Yugoslavia" on the bottom. This mini kettle would look so cute as a vase for your wildflower bouquet, or as shabby chic kitchen decor!

It has a diameter of just over 7 inches.

Antique Ornate Metal Cigarette Box


*SOLD* This small metal storage box reminds me of a cigarette case, but I'm not sure that's what it is. It is quite a mysterious box. I can't tell what type of metal it is made out of. It has a distressed finish that looks gold but almost pinkish in some places and silverish in other places. I also don't know how to describe the design on the lid - it reminds me of Egyptian design, with an array of similar looking people in profile, with one in the middle seated. It is a beautiful box that would work great for small treasures, perhaps jewelry, or as a stash box. The hinges are in great condition, as is the overall box. It is quite old, but the feet, lid, and sides are all undamaged besides the worn patina. The box measures 4 x 4 inches square, and it stands about 1 1/4 inches high. Such a cool and multifunctional piece!
