{"product_id":"the-vesper","title":"The Vesper","description":"\u003cp\u003eA short cylinder of Spanish alabaster, made to hold a single tea light. The stone is translucent at its thinnest, which is the rim. Lit, the piece glows from within. Unlit, it sits like a quiet sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEach piece is its own\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlabaster forms from gypsum laid down over geological time. Every block carries its own veining, translucency, and warmth of tone. We do not sort or select for uniformity. The piece you receive will be different from the photograph, different from the next one off the same line. The differences are not flaws. They are the record of how this particular stone formed, made visible in the finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA holder for a single tea light. Use it at a dinner setting. Use it on a bedside while reading. Use it in a bathroom during a bath. Some owners keep one always lit on a desk while working.
