Description
This ceramic candle holder takes the shape of a daffodil in full bloom, with a ring of ruffled petals forming a wide base and a fluted trumpet rising from the middle to hold the candle. It is finished all over in a sunny, glossy yellow, and the petals carry fine lines moulded into the ceramic. It stands 7cm tall and measures 14cm wide and 14cm deep, so it sits low on a table, shelf or windowsill. The cup at its centre takes a slim taper or dinner candle and holds it upright in the heart of the flower.
We think it brings a little spring indoors at any time of year. Set it on a dining table for a bright supper, on a kitchen windowsill where the yellow catches the morning light, or on a mantelpiece beside a few green stems. It suits traditional rooms and modern ones alike, since the single strong colour does the work on its own. It also makes a cheerful Mother's Day gift, and a lovely thought for a friend who loves their garden, spring flowers or simply a touch of yellow about the house. Its compact size makes it an easy present to wrap and give.
The holder is made from ceramic, with a glossy glaze over the petals and the candle cup. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry before the next candle goes in. Let any wax cool and harden before you lift it away from the cup. As with any candle, never leave it burning unattended, and keep it clear of curtains and anything else that could catch. For a fuller spring table, stand it at the centre with a soft green or white candle, or place it beside a small jug of fresh flowers on a sideboard.
