History: This item is a votive or tealight holder by Balboa, a brand known for its decorative, hand-made and hand-painted ceramics, often with gilded accents and artistic finishes. This cylindrical piece is clad in a distinctive mosaic tile design with alternating raised white and green-glazed ceramic squares. The green tiles are flecked with white in a controlled splatter pattern typical of mid-century decorative styles.
 
 
The interior and rim are finished in a lustrous golden metallic glaze, adding an opulent touch. The presence of a ruler in the image places the height of this piece at approximately 7.5–8 cm (3–3.25 inches), confirming it to be well-suited for use as a tealight or votive candle holder. The base carries a vintage Balboa label, verifying its origin as a handcrafted piece.
