Cason Stoneware Candle Holders Set of 2 - White

Cason is a pair of white stoneware candle holders, each shaped as a column of soft, rounded lobes rising from a flared foot to a narrow collar at the top. Fine sunburst motifs sit across the lobes, and the glaze has a lightly speckled, textured surface that catches the light. The two are different heights, which is what makes them work as a pair: the shorter holder is 25.5cm tall, 12.5cm long and 8.5cm wide, and the taller one is 31cm tall, 12cm long and 10.5cm wide.

The collar at the top of each holder takes a slim taper candle, and because the two stand at different heights, the flames sit at two levels, which gives a display more movement than two holders of equal height would manage. Stand them on a mantelpiece, a deep windowsill, a sideboard or down the middle of a dining table for supper with friends; the white glaze sits as comfortably against pale plaster and marble as against darker wood. They suit anyone who likes a sculptural shape on a shelf, and with their wavy outline they still look considered when the candles are unlit, standing among books or on a console in a hallway.

Both are made entirely of stoneware, a dense ceramic fired at high temperature to a hard body, and finished in a white glaze. The maker notes that, because of the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so each holder may differ slightly in tone and speckle from the next, which only adds to their character. The styling props shown are not included; for a calm, tonal arrangement, pair them with plain white tapers, or try a deep grey or coloured taper against the white glaze for contrast.
