Echo Lake Tealight Votive
by Simon Pearce
Frozen in winter, flowing in summer – the Echo Lake Collection is inspired by the constantly changing rivers, streams and waterways of Vermont. In a bold interpretation of the craft, master glassblowers nimbly wrap fine strands of glass around a round base to form the unique, natural silhouette of each tealight candle holder. All the more stunning when arranged in a glowing cluster.

About Simon Pearce Lead-Free Crystal Glass:
Simon Pearce Studio’s hand-blown clear glass designs are noted not only for their designs’ evocative of nature, but for the sheer brilliance of their glass. Where does that brilliance come from? The answer is “crystal glass”, an alternative to traditional “lead crystal”.
Lead oxide had been added to glass for generations, to create the magic brilliance for which lead crystal has been prized. Awareness of the toxicity* of lead in contact with foods and beverages has lead to the switch to another element, namely barium oxide, which offers the same brilliance, without exposure to lead. It is a heavy ion and therefore increases the refractive index and absorptivity of a glass without the harmful effects of lead.
