This unique candle holder features a genuine Murano Glass base handcrafted over a small flame using avventurina glass-making technique with sparkles throughout.This Shabbat candle holder is doubly special thanks to its association with Venice - the city that has been a large center of Jewish life and culture in the middle ages, with the vibrant Jewish community that included people who fled from persecution elsewhere in Europe. While far from being a liberal society, Venice was nevertheless more tolerant of Jews than many other places in the middle ages, and despite their relative isolation, Jewish people took part in many aspects of Venetian life.This bright and beautiful Shabbat candle holder created by local Murano glass artisans stands as a reminder of the thriving Jewish culture and religious tradition that existed in Venice for over 500 years and symbolizes its continuity and strength. This is a fine Jewish gift for Bat Mitzvah or Bar Mitzvah, Hanukkah, housewarming, or any other religious or secular occasion and will fit with both contemporary, modern and traditional home decor.●  Measurements: This candle holder measures approximately 6 inches in length and 2 inches in width.
