The glass insert makes it easy to switch between flowers and the votive, so I've used it as both a vase and a candle holder on my dining table. The battery-powered votive gives a nice soft glow without any wax mess.
The handcrafted ceramic votive holder looks way more expensive than it was, and the glass insert makes it easy to switch between using it for candles or fresh flowers. I've had it on my dining table for a couple weeks now and keep getting compliments on it.
