Newfoundland Tartan Tea Light

Newfoundland Tartan Tea Light

The story behind my Newfoundland Tartan Tealight...

My brother and I were both born in Corner Brook while our parents (the quintessential couple, a Nurse and a Mountie) were stationed in Newfoundland. From Corner Brook, we went to St John’s and everywhere in between! Newfoundland has always been dear to my heart!

 The colours of the tartan are derived from the ‘Ode to Newfoundland’, the province’s anthem.

Gold represents the sun’s rays,
Green the pine clad hills supplying wood for the principal industry,
White of the winter snow,
Brown for the mineral wealth of the Province^* and
Imperial Red to commemorate the Royal Standard and her British origins.

 Provincial and Clan/Family Tartans are literally a "labour of love" of the Diva! Great effort is made to source the colours and set the pattern to accurately represent specific tartans in glass! Each tartan item takes hundreds of 1mm glass threads that are all cut and positioned by hand. Each stage of the process requires precise kiln firing schedules developed over years of experimentation. Lori is thrilled to offer this potential heirloom product with consistent results and quality.
