Anniversary Floral Stoneware Candle Holders Set of 2 - Multi

These Anniversary candle holders are a pair of stoneware pieces in two heights: both are 5cm across, one stands 7cm tall and the other 10.5cm tall. Each is a slim cylinder covered in a multicoloured illustrated pattern. The taller holder is filled with birds in flight, their wings picked out with tiny flowers and leaves, while the shorter one mixes birds with flower stems, leaves and loose abstract shapes beneath a scalloped band at the top. Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired ceramic with a reassuring weight for its size.

Each holder takes a single dinner candle, and the two heights are what makes the pair work: stand them side by side and the candles finish at different levels, which looks more relaxed than two identical holders. At 5cm across they need very little room, so they suit a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or the centre of a dining table. The pattern is cheerful rather than formal, so they sit happily in a kitchen, a hallway or a living room, and they make a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes illustrated, folk-style ceramics. Grouped with other candle holders, they add a little colour and movement to a plain arrangement.

Both holders are made from 100% stoneware and decorated with a decal print and hand-painted details. Stoneware is fired at high temperatures, which makes it hard and dense, a sensible material for a candle holder. The candles and the other styling props shown are not included. For a simple look, choose plain candles in one shade drawn from the pattern, or keep to classic white tapers and let the birds carry the colour, and place the taller holder slightly behind the shorter one so both patterns show.
