The Daksha crescent moon candle holder features handcrafted terracotta clay and a simple, hand-painted design. Artisans use traditional techniques to create modern pieces for today’s contemporary home. Used alone or paired with our Daksha Full Moon Candle Holder, this candle holder adds a beautiful, handcrafted touch to your dining table, altar, or patio. The celestial design is timeless, classic and on-trend, a great gift for anyone who appreciates astronomy and the moon motif. For thinner tapers, we suggest lightly melting the base of the candle and pressing it firmly into the holder.
