Large White Moroccan Lantern Ornate Metal Glass Light [Kitchen]

I used these lanterns for my baby's baptism party for centerpieces and they were such a hit! I never expected people to get so excited about them, I had just wanted something different than flowers for centerpieces. I bought color changing flameless candles to put inside, got some pretty ribbon to tie on the top and they looked so special on the tables. My guests were arguing over who was taking these lanterns home and asked me if I had any extras.

Came well packed in a box within a box. The inner box said "Made in China." The glass came as inserts bubble wrapped and need to be fitted into place. The glass has some white scrollwork lines painted on them. The bottom sits on 3 small metal balls, and I would have prefered 6 for stability. There is a row of venting on the bottom rim, and just above the glass as well, plus lots of scrollwork on the dome. You have to be careful how you carry this lantern as the swivel top is held on by 2 rivets which look unlikely to safely hold its weight with a flaming candle in it. Plus the heat of the candle can go straight up to where you might put your fingers. The whole lantern is made of either thin tin or aluminum, spray painted white. So, it is not sturdy, and mine had some paint runs and imperfections. The metal is pieced together not by folding and overlapping, but by placing pieces side by side and then spot welding them together with smaller than fingernail rectangles of metal...Read more

My daughter wanted "Lanterns with candles" for her wedding reception centerpieces. We had a hard time finding exactly what she wanted. Even our Florist could not help us with this. Then I found these "Large White Moroccan Lanterns" on Amazon.com for a reasonable price and I ordered 13 of them. They were delivered about a week later and were packed very securely. I didn't realize, however, that we would need to assemble the glass panel windows for each of them. It took me a couple of hours to assemble all 13 of them. All and all, we were very pleased and I got a number of compliments of them. One of them came bent out of shape and I was not able to use that one - which was fine since we only ended up having 12 tables.
