    Hey guys, I'm new here so hello everyone and thank you in advance! :)

    I have this gorgeous urn shaped vase/candle holder and I'm not entirely sure on the stone used, where it originates from etc.
    It's heavy for its size which is approximately 6" tall

    I have no clue when it comes to things like this as it isn't something I usually pick up, I was just drawn to it!
    Any help whatsoever would be amazing

    It looks like an alabaster vase. Much of this type of ware comes from Italy. Let's see what others think. And, Hollie, until then... you'll want to go back and repost your photographs as Full Image so they're easier for everyone to see. (Easy to do: Just click on Full Image instead of Thumbnail after clicking on Upload a File.)

    Agree.... alabaster. Italy is a very good bet.

    Yes, a popular souvenir. Often dyed. Often with applied floral decoration.

    Alabaster or close enough. Thank goodness no one painted tacky flowers all over it.
