Description
This is a set of three stoneware candle holders, each a small round piece covered in a multicoloured geometric pattern of zigzags, triangles and diamonds. No two share a shape. The tallest is built in two tiers, a wide drum with a narrower drum sitting on top, and stands 8.5cm tall and 7.5cm across. The slimmest is a single upright cylinder covered in diamonds, 7cm tall and 5.5cm across. The lowest is a squat round piece, 5cm tall and 7.5cm across, with a band running round its middle between two rows of triangles. Each one has a socket in its top to take a single dinner candle.
Because they stand at three different heights, they make a stepped group the moment you put them down, which is the simplest way to give a few candles some rhythm. They are made for Christmas, and with their drum-like shapes and bright patterning they have the cheer of a row of toy drums, so they suit a festive dining table, a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a sideboard through December. Grouped together they fill a small spot on a hall table or a deep shelf; split up, one can sit at each end of the dinner table with the third in the centre.
Each holder is 100% stoneware, and the set of three weighs 0.41KG in total. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, fired at a higher temperature than earthenware. The pattern is decal decoration, a printed transfer applied to the surface, which is how the zigzags, diamonds and tiny dots keep such clean, sharp lines. For the neatest look, put the two-tier holder in the middle, keep the candles to a single shade so the patterns do the talking, and let the heights step down either side. The styling props shown are not included.

Frequently Asked
What are these candle holders made of?
All three are 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic, and the geometric pattern on each one is applied as decal decoration, a printed transfer on the surface.
How big is each candle holder?
The two-tier holder is 8.5cm tall and 7.5cm across, the diamond cylinder is 7cm tall and 5.5cm across, and the low holder is 5cm tall and 7.5cm across.
What kind of candle do they hold?
Each holder has a narrow socket in its top that holds a single dinner candle upright, so they are made for slim standing candles.
What is included?
You receive three stoneware candle holders, each in a different shape and pattern. The styling props shown are not included.
How heavy are they?
The set of three weighs 0.41KG in total, so they are easy to move between the table, the mantelpiece and the windowsill.
Are they only for Christmas?
They are made for Christmas and have a festive toy-drum look, but the multicoloured geometric pattern sits just as well on a sideboard or shelf at other times of year.
