Kosta Boda Snowball Votive

Comment: This Kosta Boda votive is delightful. Its appearance, resembling carved ice, is so attractive, and it's the perfect, small, winter/holiday accent. I love the way candle light is refracted through the rough surface. Using just one, in a minimalist way, is just enough to make a statement about the season in a simple, and simply lovely, way.

Comment: My wife wanted to get these after seeing them at a friends house. Kosta Boda pieces are solid quality and these are no exception. Arrived undamaged in nice packaging, took them out and placed them on the counter...they look great!

Comment: A good solid piece of glass. The ridge line is noticeable, but not from a distance when in use.

Comment: It's nice, kinda cute, but the flame of the candle just doesn't light up the "snowball" like I hoped.

Comment: Don't let the beautiful picture fool you. This votive is very low quality. First of all the packaging is terrible. It comes in paper thin cardboard box no bigger than the votive itself, no protection whatsoever so you better hope it is packaged well and handled with care.

The votive looks fine except for the ghastly mold lines traveling along the outside of it. It has a good size to it, a little bigger would have been nicer but its not like it is very small either. It really is disappointing because it really is a nice votive but the mold lines just ruin it. I had purchased this as a stocking stuffer gift but I may just return it to avoid the shame of giving such a low quality gift.
