Description
This little ceramic reindeer candle holder pairs a standing reindeer with a round candle cup at its side, the two joined as a single piece. The reindeer is shaped in simple, friendly lines, with a rounded nose, short stubby antlers and four sturdy legs, and the cup sits snugly against its flank. Its colour is white, softened by a fine speckle through the glossy glaze, with a warm brown tint at the rim of the cup and the tips of the antlers. It stands 7.3cm tall, 4.2cm wide and 5.8cm deep, a small piece that sits in the palm of your hand.
We think it looks its best at Christmas, set on a mantelpiece, a windowsill or the dining table among greenery and pine cones, where a lit candle in the cup throws a soft glow across the glaze. Its gentle, neutral colouring sits happily with a rustic or woodland scheme as well as with brighter festive decorations, so it suits any room. Because it is so compact, it fits on a crowded shelf or a side table where a larger centrepiece would not. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, small enough to tuck in alongside a card or a box of candles.
The holder is made from ceramic with a glossy glaze, and it stands on the reindeer's four feet and the base of the cup, so it needs no stand or fixing. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it, letting the cup cool before you clear away any wax. As with any candle holder, never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from curtains, draughts and anything that might catch. For a festive arrangement, set it beside a sprig of holly and let the reindeer keep watch over its candle through the December evenings.
