Decorating (or redecorating) a room is a complex process that involves many layers, not the least of which are the accessories – that final touch that makes all your efforts come together into a room that feels cozy and welcoming. To fight the cold and gloomy weather that’s been plaguing New England these last couple of months, I’ve been lighting a lot of candles around the house, especially during that soft hour right before the sun starts to set. Unfortunately, last week I managed to break one of my favorite glass hurricane candle holders and I was bummed because it was a sturdy little guy that had survived all our cross-country moves and it felt like saying goodbye to an old friend. Anyway, that’s glass for you… and with my butter fingers, I’m surprised I did not break it sooner. I started looking for a new one the other day and I wanted to share with you my finds, in case you’re also looking to replace yours or to add to your existing collection. (I hope it’s the latter.)

I always include beautiful glass hurricane candle holders in my decorating plans for clients, so I had a few go-to sources I knew won’t disappoint. The ones below are some of my favorites. As you’ll notice, they come in different shapes, styles and sizes, and at different price points. I am a huge fan of Simon Pearce glass, which is handblown using centuries-old techniques, here in the USA. Because they are made with artisanal glass which is heavier and of higher clarity, Simon Pearce hurricanes are slightly pricier than the other options I included. If you’re interested in their products, I recommend buying directly from their website. This will ensure you get the best price, straight from the manufacturer, without any markups.
I adore glass and often dream of decorating our mantel entirely with empty clear glass vessels of different shapes and sizes. Here’s a roundup, hope you see something you like:

For a more modern look, these straight-edge glass hurricanes look as beautiful reflecting candlelight as they do filled with twinkling garlands or terrarium plantings. Each is handmade in crystal-clear glass by artisans at a European glass collective dating back to 1923.

Hi Pamela,
I am not 100% sure on the size of that one but I think you can’t go wrong with the medium one.
Hope you find the perfect glass hurricane for your home!
