Description
This candle holder brings a bit of Christmas character to the mantelpiece in mouthblown glass. Its stem is an amber glass reindeer, prancing on one hind leg with its forelegs raised and antlers swept back, wearing a Santa hat and a dotted collar. Above the reindeer sits a tall glass cup for a taper candle, set into a shallow glass dish, and the whole piece stands on a wide round glass foot. It is 8cm across and 19cm tall, made entirely of glass and weighing 0.1KG.
It belongs wherever you gather over Christmas: the mantelpiece, a deep windowsill, the centre of a festive table or a hall console. With a slim taper candle in the cup, the flame sits high above the surface, and the 8cm foot takes up little room, so it fits a narrow shelf or a busy sideboard. It looks good on its own and just as good grouped with other glass holders of different heights. It suits anyone who likes their decorations with a sense of humour, and it makes a cheerful present for a friend who collects Christmas pieces.
Mouthblown glass is shaped by a glassmaker's breath and hand rather than pressed in a mould, and here the reindeer is worked in amber glass while the cup, dish and foot are left as plain, uncoloured glass, so the figure is what catches the eye. At 0.1KG it is easy to lift down from a shelf and wrap away when the season is over. The candle is not part of the holder, and the styling props shown are not included. For a styling note, stand it beside one or two taller plain glass holders along a mantelpiece and choose a single soft candle shade for all of them, so the prancing reindeer stays the one everyone notices.
