A mouth-blown clear glass hurricane shade with a fitted glass base and built-in taper holder, modeled on an early nineteenth-century candle shade in The Met's collection. Each piece is made in small batches by Asher Holman in Asheville, North Carolina, from Spruce Pine silica, so shapes vary slightly and small bubbles and ripples are part of the glass. It suits anyone who wants a traditional draft-shielding candleholder with visible handwork rather than a molded, uniform shade. Against mass-produced hurricanes, it offers a complete holder in one piece and the character of small-batch blowing, but no two are identical and the candle is not included.

This glass hurricane is a tall, clear candleholder with no decoration. Its shape comes from an early nineteenth-century example in The Met's collection. Shades like this were first used to protect candle flames from drafts and keep the light steady and soft.
A fitted glass base with a built-in taper holder turns the traditional shade into a complete candleholder. To make the base, an extra gather of glass is added after the piece is blown out. It is then pushed with a graphite rod to form the well that holds the candle.
Each hurricane is mouth-blown in small batches by Asher Holman in Asheville, North Carolina. The glass is made with silica sourced from Spruce Pine, North Carolina. Because each piece is shaped by hand, small variations in shape, along with small bubbles and ripples in the glass, are natural marks of the making process. The taper candle is not included.
