Does anyone have a good source in the US for cups like these for tea cups to go in?? I believe the drilling size is 1 3/8" I am hoping to get my a** in gear for Christmas with the lock down happening now... Thanks for any advice or tips!!

Mike, I bought clear glass cups from a now closed ceramics supply store in the SF Bay area. Mine are a bit taller, making them a safer enclosure for the exposed flame. As I recall, they were marketed for events like wedding receptions, so maybe rabbit hole those suppliers as well.

Thanks!!
You bet! What I like about these is that if you set the depth to that of just the tea light candle, you still have about the same amount of height above the host base, which allows for a better bit of illumination, and still a safer protection from the open flame. I've not used the battery powered tea lights yet, but I suspect that they would fit in these as well.
