Why this one
Five reasons it earns its place
Amber does the work
A plain white tealight in clear glass looks like a plain white tealight. The same candle in ribbed amber reads warmer and older, because the glass is filtering the light before it leaves.
Six, not one
A single votive is an accent. Six down the centre of a table is the lighting for the evening.
