Blue Glass Moroccan Lantern

I looked at this lamp for quite some time. I assumed that it may be something you see in a "junk" imports shop, but decided to take a chance when I recieved some gift money and order it for my Moroccan themed bedroom. I was not disappointed.

The glass is beautiful, textured and has a very deep coloration. The metal seems sturdy and didn't have marks and scratches. The door to open the candle chamber lined up with the hinges and opens/closes easily with with just enough resistance to keep it closed.

It is designed to be used as either a hanging candle holder (tea light) or can be used standing on a flat surface. There are loops to hang it by, but you will need to get chain separately.

Another bonus was that I ordered 3 different lamps from this same company and they combined my shipping charges. I paid the same shipping for 3 that I would have for one.

I used these as the centerpiece for my daughters wedding with rose petals scattered around. They looked great. Very nicely made. I used the battery tealights that flicker and then there was no mess inside. Lots of compliments on how beautiful.

This lantern looks more expensive than it is. Sure, it's not made of the finest materials or constructed as solidly as something you'd buy in a boutique, but you'd only notice this if you examined it closely. For its size, depth of color, and design, it's a real bargain. **This review was written when the price of the item was under $5.**
