The short answer
A miniature mabkhara: a faceted clear glass bowl on a square glass base, capped with a pierced gold dome and an ornate gold finial. It is the most detailed favour in the catalogue and the one that stands tallest on a table.
What we can tell you
- Materials
- Clear faceted glass body and base, gold metal lid and finial
- Lid
- Pierced dome, so the pattern shows through when it is lit behind
- Base
- Square clear glass plinth
- Size
- Not recorded in our catalogue. Ask and we will confirm
- Quantities
- Confirmed with your quote, not fixed here
The pierced lid is the whole design
The gold dome is cut through rather than solid, so light passes it and the cut pattern shows as a silhouette. On a table with candles or uplighting behind, that is what you notice from a distance. Set it flat on an unlit surface and you lose most of the effect, so if you are using these, plan for light behind or beside them rather than only overhead.
It is taller than it looks in a photograph
Between the square base, the faceted bowl and the finial on top, it stacks up: the finial alone is a meaningful part of the height. On a favour table that means it stands above the flatter items and does not need to be raised on a riser to be seen. It also means it is the one on the table most likely to be knocked, so leave a little space around each.
Where it belongs
The mabkhara is a genuine household object in the cultures most of our henna and wedding clients come from, which is why it works as a keepsake rather than as decoration. Quantities and personalisation are confirmed with your quote, and anything printed alongside it can be set in English or Arabic.

Questions people ask about this
- Is there a minimum order for favours?
- There is no fixed minimum published, because the sensible quantity depends on what the favour is and how many guests you are expecting. Tell us your guest count with your enquiry and we will quote the real number instead of rounding you up to a box size. Ordering a few spare is normal and costs less than a second run later.
- Can these be personalised with names or a date?
- Most can, and personalisation is the part that needs the most notice. Names, a date or a short message are set before anything is assembled, so the wording has to be final earlier than the rest of your decor does. Send the exact spelling you want with your enquiry, including any accents, because that is what gets printed.
- How long do favours take to make?
- These are assembled by hand rather than pulled off a shelf, so the timeline is driven by quantity and by whether anything is personalised. Send your date and guest count and we will give you a real turnaround before you commit. If your date is tight, say so first: it changes which favours are realistic rather than whether we can help.
