DescriptionThis blue candle holder has a red heart at the center of a gray crescent shaped cross piece with four blue flowers. Four large red bunches of grapes hang from the cross piece and are separated by two large green grape leaves. At the top of the base is located a dark blue chalice supporting a white half circle (host) with a black cross in the center. A band of the same dark blue is at the bottom of the base and on all three actual candle holders.
