These Shell candle holders are pre-owned, so they do have cosmetic imperfections due to use and age.  The cosmetic flaw is at the base of the holders. The paint has worn down. Three of the holders have very few places where the paint has worn down. The fourth I showed in the last picture. The purchaser can repurpose that if they wish or leave it be since a candle will be placed in there. Other than that, these four pieces are in good condition. No major damage. No chips or cracks and just beautiful to look at. Please look at the photos for condition and features before you purchase. Beautiful for any patio or nautical room to create a beachfront atmosphere.
