Description
These ceramic taper candle holders come as a set of two, each glazed and decorated with scenes from Alice in Wonderland. The taller holder is pale blue, with a white silhouette of Alice standing among trailing blue roses and leaves that wind around its two rounded tiers. Its partner is a soft beige, with one round body carrying a white silhouette of the White Rabbit raising his trumpet among small sketched roses. Both share the same cup at the top, ringed with raised white beads and a wavy blue line, and both stand on a wide, flat foot. The back of each holder carries the rose pattern alone. The pair stands up to 15.5cm high and 8cm across.
Set them side by side on a mantelpiece, a dining table, a dressing table or a bookshelf, where the two heights and two colours play off each other nicely. The soft blue and beige sit happily in pale, pastel and country-style rooms, and the storybook silhouettes bring a light, playful touch to an afternoon tea table or a cosy reading corner. They work just as well apart, one on a side table and one on a shelf, for a quiet glow in the evening.
Each holder is ceramic with a glazed finish, giving a smooth, gently glossy surface that catches the candlelight. The beaded cup at the top holds a taper candle upright, and the broad foot gives a steady base on a flat surface. For care, dust with a soft dry cloth, or wipe with a damp cloth and dry straight away. As with any candle, never leave a burning one unattended and keep it clear of curtains and anything that might catch. Wrapped together, the pair makes a charming gift for anyone who loves the story of Alice and her trip down the rabbit hole.
