Frequently Asked Questions

What makes it a hand diya?

The handle. It is made to be held and carried while lit, rather than set down and left standing like a plain lamp.

Why brass?

It takes heat without trouble, it does not crack when knocked the way clay and glass do, and the weight keeps a carried lamp feeling stable. Whether a particular piece is brass throughout or brass-finished is the seller's to state on the listing.

Does the handle get hot?

It can. Brass conducts heat well, so on a small lamp the handle warms up along with the body, and the longer it has been burning the more that applies. Worth testing briefly before committing your grip, and worth not handing a lit one to a child.

What should I watch when there are lit diyas or candles nearby?

Ordinary fire care, which matters more at festival time than at any other point in the year. Keep flames away from fabric, paper, artificial flowers and anything overhanging, keep them out of reach of children and pets, put them on a stable surface where they cannot be knocked, and do not leave anything burning unattended or overnight. Metal and marble both conduct heat, so a holder can get hot. This is general care rather than a safety rating of this product.

How is the soot cleaned off?

Mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth once it is cool, and soaking for the burnt residue around the wick rather than scouring. Abrasive pads and harsh metal polishes take the finish off, and the finish does not come back. Any care instruction the seller supplies beats general advice.

Will it darken over time?

Most decorative metals change colour in air, faster where they are handled or left damp, and a lamp is handled and gets soot on it. Some finishes are applied to slow that; nothing here is a promise that a particular piece will stay as it arrives.

Three listings share this name. Which one is this?

The store has more than one lamp listed under the same name. The product listing and its photographs are what identify this particular one, including its size, so it is worth comparing them if you have a specific lamp in mind.

What size is it, and what is it made of?

Both are on the product listing, which is where the seller states them and keeps them current. They are not repeated here, because sizes and materials change between batches and a figure written into an article goes stale without anyone noticing.

Will it look exactly like the photograph?

Close, but pieces like this are finished by hand and vary a little from one to the next in colour, in the depth of the finish and in small dimensions. If an exact shade or an exact size matters -- because it has to sit in a particular spot or match something you already own -- it is worth asking the store before ordering rather than after.

How is it packed for delivery?

Worth unpacking carefully and checking it over on arrival. Anything that has gone wrong in transit is the store's to put right, and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 applies.

Does this page make any claim about what this will do for me?

No. It describes what the object is and how it is generally used, and points at the product listing for material, size and what is included. Objects of this kind appear in festival and household observance, and describing that use is not the same as promising a result. Nothing here is a statement about prosperity, luck, protection or any other outcome, and nothing is a claim about the material or how long a particular piece will last.

Can I order this with items from other stores?

Yes. DoorToShop lets you build one order across more than one local store, so this can go in the same basket as whatever else you are getting that day.

How much is delivery, and is there a minimum order?

Delivery is calculated at checkout, where the exact amount is confirmed. Free delivery applies above the threshold shown there, in the Auckland region only. There is no minimum order value, and you can combine items from other local stores in the same cart.
