Stone-Turned Brass & Black Marble Tealight Holders (set of 2)

Elegantly handcrafted from a combination of brass and marble, this set of tea light holders has been carefully stone turned by artisans. It's sure to add a bit of visual warmth to any living space. The process of spinning or turning is used to create axially symmetrical parts by rotating discs or tubes at high speeds. 

A marble block is mounted on a lathe and a metal workpiece is mounted on the opposite side. The block and workpiece are spun against each other by applying force using a handheld tool called a spoon to give the workpiece the desired shape. Sometimes the workpiece is heated to give a more complex shape. The technique is used to create cookware, decoratives, architectural parts, bells etc.
