Myra's Porcelain Tealight Lantern
Porcelain tealight lantern · Myra’s final firing
Plain white by day. A glowing little world by candlelight.
Put a tealight inside and a whole scene appears in warm gold: lavender and butterflies, Santa’s sleigh, a robin on a branch. It turns any windowsill, verandah table or bedside table into the cosiest spot in the house.
“It was there all along. It just needed a bit of light.”

✦Why it’s more than a candle holder
A picture made of light
The scene is carved into the porcelain itself. Where it’s thin, the light shines through.
Beautiful even unlit
By day it’s a quiet white relief that looks lovely on any shelf.
Works with LED tealights
For a child’s room or a whole evening without a flame.
No cord, no power point
Put it wherever you want a little light: the windowsill, the verandah table, the dinner table or a bedside table.
✦A regular candle holder vs. Myra’s lantern
| Regular holder | Myra’s lantern | |
|---|---|---|
| When it’s lit | A flame and a shadow | A whole scene in warm gold |
| The decoration | Printed on | Carved into the porcelain |
| During the day | An empty glass cup | A white relief |
| As a gift | Forgotten by January | Comes out every December |
The last ones from Myra
Myra Rowse spent 33 years making moulds in a Bendigo pottery. For nine Christmases she has cast these lanterns by hand on the back verandah of her weatherboard house in Epsom and sold them only at her church market. At 76, her hands ache after a long day at the worktable, and she has decided this is her very last firing.

The Final Firing
The Final Firing
A message from Myra:
For nine Christmases I cast these lanterns on the back verandah of our place in Epsom and sold them only at our church market. I'm 76 now, and I'd rather stop while every lantern still comes out the way it should. On 12 December, I fire my kiln for the last time. These 358 lanterns are the last I will ever make.
They'll keep going out after 12 December, until the very last one is gone.
When they're gone, they're gone.
