The Bernardaud Butterflies LED Votivelight is crafted from fine bisque porcelain, featuring an intricate butterfly lithophane that appears when illuminated. The included rechargeable LED light offers both still and flickering settings, making it a versatile decorative piece.
The etymology of the word 'lithophane' derives from the Greek word (lithos), which translates to 'stone', and (phainein), which means 'to appear'. Thus, through the engraved fine bisque porcelain of the Bernardaud Votivelights appear intricate images in stone - here, the scene enshrined is fluttering butterflies. The light is traditionally cast by a small candle, but the French brand brings a contemporary twist with the inclusion of an LED light.
If you desire the flickering comfort of a candle, there's still a setting to suit your aesthetic.
