The etymology of the word 'lithophane' derives from the Greek word λίθος (lithos), which translates to 'stone', and φαίνειν (phainein), which means 'to appear'. Thus, through the engraved fine bisque porcelain of the Bernardaud Votivelights appear intricate images in stone - here, the scene enshrined is festive cheer. The light is traditionally cast by a small candle, but the French brand brings a contemporary twist with the inclusion of an led light.
