Description
Three little wrapped sweets in stoneware, each holding a single taper candle: this set of three Christmas candle holders brings a bit of fun to the festive season. Each holder has a round body with a flared, twisted wrapper end on either side, and each is decorated in its own pattern, one with broad swirling bands, one with bold stripes and one with spots. Each measures 9.5cm long, 5cm wide and 4.5cm tall, so these are low, small holders that leave the height to the candle, and the multicoloured colourway means the three sit happily together or apart.
Their low height suits the places where a tall candlestick would crowd things: a mantelpiece, a narrow shelf, a sideboard or a dining table laid for Christmas, among the plates and glasses. Line all three up in a row, or spread them along the table so the light falls in several places at once. They make a cheerful choice for anyone who likes their Christmas decorating with a sense of humour, and as a set of three they are an easy present for the friend who always dresses the table in December.
Each holder is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired ceramic with a solid feel. The decoration is handpainted, so small variations in the brushwork are part of each piece's character, and the patterns have the loose, lively look of a brush rather than a print. Each holder has a single opening in the top for a taper candle; the candles and other styling props shown are not included. As a styling note, pair them with plain candles in one soft shade so the patterns stay the main event, and group them with a sprig of greenery or a few baubles on a sideboard for a quick festive display.
