Description
Cloe is a stoneware candle holder shaped as a shallow dish on a short, round foot, a little like a mushroom. It is 14cm across and 8cm tall, made from 100% stoneware, and holds one slim candle upright at its centre. The rim is gently wavy rather than perfectly even, and the multicoloured glaze is what gives it its character: it gathers thickly at the edge and runs down the outside of the dish in fine streaks, while the foot carries a soft, speckled finish of its own.
Because it stands only 8cm tall, the holder stays low and lets the candle provide the height, which keeps the look of a dining table relaxed and open. It is just as much at home on a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a deep windowsill or a bookshelf, and the 14cm width gives it a generous footprint for a single piece. The wide dish around the base of the candle frames it with glazed ceramic, so even an unlit candle looks finished. It suits anyone who enjoys glazed ceramics with some character and a lived-in, informal table, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a friend who loves a candlelit evening.
The whole piece is 100% stoneware, with the glaze covering both the dish and the foot. Stoneware is a dense ceramic fired at high temperature, which is why a holder this size feels solid in the hand at 0.392KG. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the way it runs and pools at the rim may differ from one holder to the next; we think that is part of its appeal. For styling, choose a tall, slim taper so the low, wide base and the candle balance each other, or line up several along a table runner or a mantelpiece for a softly glowing row.

Frequently Asked
What size is the Cloe candle holder?
It is 14cm across and 8cm tall and weighs 0.392KG, so it sits low and wide with the candle standing at its centre.
What is it made from?
It is made from 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic fired at high temperature, finished with a multicoloured glaze over the dish and the foot.
Does every holder look the same?
Not exactly. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the way the glaze runs at the rim differs slightly from one piece to the next.
Does it come with a candle?
No, it is the candle holder alone. The styling props shown are not included, so a candle needs buying separately.
What kind of candle does it hold?
It holds one slim candle upright at its centre, and a tall taper balances the low, wide base particularly well.
Where does it look best?
It works well on a dining table, mantelpiece, sideboard or windowsill, where its low 8cm height lets the candle provide the height.
