This hand crafted lantern made of metal and glass surprises one with its minutest features-be it the detailed design on the body or the manner in which the glass cubes that surround the lit up alcove meant for the candle or tea light. It would be a pleasure to light up this lantern as it will infuse the surrounding with an intricate range of colours and shades owing much to the filigree design and the multifarious use of coloured glass. Even the top of the lanterns has this gem stone look glass studs. A hard to miss piece that will be loved by all who like things oriental and colourful and would always want to make a dramatic change in the interiors when the occasion is special. The colours one catches on it include amber, citrine green, ruby red, turquoise blue and even a delicate pink. The lanterns rest firmly on tiny ball shaped legs that give it ample stability.
