Absinthe Vintage Muse – Tealight & LED Lamp

Absinthe Vintage Muse – Tealight & LED Lamp

Step into the golden age of absinthe with this elegant sculpture lamp, inspired by the flowing beauty and ornamental style of Alphonse Mucha and the Art Nouveau movement.

The upper sculpture captures the graceful, vintage muse aesthetic often seen in classic Belle Époque artwork, with flowing drapery, soft curves, and decorative details that bring a timeless old-world charm to the piece.

The tealight holder is inspired by the era when absinthe advertisements were common, with decorative poster-style details that echo the romantic, mysterious appeal of vintage absinthe art and the legendary “Green Fairy.”

Designed to work as both a tealight holder and LED lamp, this piece creates a warm atmospheric glow through the detailed base, making it perfect as a display sculpture, mood light, or conversation-starting decor.

A blend of vintage glamour, Art Nouveau elegance, and absinthe-inspired charm — made to bring a little Belle Époque magic into your space.

Instructions

* Support settings are adjusted for the silk PLA (larger distance to reduce scaring). Depending on the filament you choose, you may want to adjust the settings, which could also help reduce the overall print time.

** When printing with a darker or heavily pigmented filament, an LED lamp kit is recommended to ensure the design lights up properly.

Printing Instructions

• The print settings are optimized for Silk PLA - Please adjust your print settings after your choice of filament!
• Important: Please leave each object on its dedicated build plate. 
• Do not combine multiple objects onto the same plate, as the plates use different print settings.
• Print each plate one at a time using the provided print profiles.
• Use a clean build plate with a small amount of glue, unless you are using a high-adhesion plate such as a SuperTack plate.
• Use properly dried filament.
• Different filament types may affect support removal, surface finish, and overall print quality, so adjust your settings if needed.

Castle Lid Support Removal

1. The Sculpture and the bottom of the sculpture (the lid) requires supports. 
2. Use pliers to remove the supports.
3. The sculpture prints with a temporary “fake bottom” which should  be removed after printing. 
   1. The sculpture lid will look strange when you start to print it as it layers “loose curls" as support for the bottom that almost looks like it's failing but it's all as it should be.
4. In some cases, the fake bottom may come loose when removing the part from the build plate. If it does not, use pliers to and “dig in” and start to pull it away. It should come off fairly easily.
5. Gently break the support off starting at the top - hold the hand and cup between two fingers with one hand when you remove the support around the cup.
6. Move to the top around the other arm and head.
7. The remaining support should come off more easily.
8. Some light sanding and gentle heating might be needed at some few spots (under the chin, arms and the leaves at the bottom) depending on the filament that you have printed with but it should not be much.

Assembly

1. Align the round locking tabs inside the votive with the cut-out slots in the base. Press down firmly and twist clockwise to secure.
2. To switch to another votive, twist counterclockwise until you feel and hear a “snap,” then lift straight up.
3. Insert the LED lamp either from the bottom vertically through the cut-out section 
   1. OR: Trade the cord from above down through the smaller/thicker cut out section.
4. Align the cord with the arch/cut out section leading outwards and slide the lamp in place.
5. The LED Tea Light fits in the inner round circle.
