I bought some flameless candles and spray painted these black because they are definitely more of a yellowish ivory! I had to bend that little crossbar back on the little one to fit a candle. Also,  removed the one from the large one , but you can’t even tell! It does open from the top as well to fill it. (I saw somewhere someone answered it didn’t)  I put them in the floor next to the entertainment center. They look adorable!
