Lantern Care
Ornately Lanterns’ hand painted glass ornaments are great outside exposed to the elements, as they can weather both rain and sun extremely well.
![Ornately Lanterns products are designed to be lit up by natural light, ideally sunshine](http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0003/8246/8160/files/River_Abstract_Pyramid_or_Moroccan_Lantern_Group_large.jpg?v=1521648788)
BUT - please bring your purchase indoors during HEAVY rain or snow, as such weather can affect the quality of the paint
![Do NOT leave lanterns out in the snow & ice](http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0003/8246/8160/files/Lantern_Care_1_medium.jpg?v=1521648364)
If your item gets dirty, it should NOT be soaked or scrubbed in water - & NO dishwashers! Instead please wipe it down gently with a damp cloth.

Your item can be seen at its best when lit up by bright sunshine, fairy lights or else with a candle.

Most of the lanterns look best with a thick church candle that come halfway up - to the height of the door latch

But the smallest lanterns just need a tealight - nothing larger, please

PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH if a candle is burning, as the metal of the lantern can get hot.
![Be careful! If you use a candle to light up your lantern - the metal frame will get very hot](http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0003/8246/8160/files/Lantern_Care_3_medium.jpeg?v=1521648628)
