Glass fairy lamps, originating in the mid-19th century, are decorative glass vessels designed to hold candles, providing an alternative to traditional candle holders. They have enjoyed renewed popularity over the decades, particularly as mid-century modern accents. Their versatility allows them to be styled in various ways, making them appealing for home decor. They'll often be available at thrift stores, antique malls, and online marketplaces for those interested in vintage finds. As a personal anecdote, the author describes creative ways in which they have utilized their fairy lamp in their home.
For me, the hunt for good vintage finds is part of the thrill of it all. So if you're looking for a fairy lamp of your own, frequenting thrift stores, antique malls, flea markets, and estate sales is always a good idea.
Fairy lamps are glass vessels, typically covered, designed to hold a small candle… providing a safer, longer-lasting alternative to freestanding tapers or votives.
