Porcelain Teapot Tealight. How cool is this teapot tealight….and it’s a lovely pressie for the tea loving candle lover in your life! Thrown on the potter’s wheel and then pierced so that the light flickers through the tiny holes in the porcelain, this teapot tealight is then high fired to 1260 degrees. This makes the porcelain become translucent when lit from within, giving a soft amber glow and the throwing lines become clearly visible.
