Description
This tealight holder takes the form of a flower in bloom, built from two tiers of pointed petals: a wide lower ring that flares outwards and a smaller ring set inside it, both opening around a round well at the centre where the tealight sits. It is made entirely of stoneware and measures 12cm across and 5.5cm tall, so it is low and broad rather than tall, and it weighs 0.396KG, enough to feel solid in the hand. The brown runs deepest in the hollow of each petal and lightens along the raised edges, which gives the floral shape real depth.
At only 5.5cm tall it keeps the candle low, which makes it a good choice for a coffee table, a side table or the middle of a dining table, where it will not get in the way of conversation across the table. It is small enough for a windowsill, a mantelpiece or a bedside table, and several placed in a row along a shelf make a warm line of candlelight on a dark evening. The brown sits comfortably in rooms built around wood, wool, linen and other natural textures, and it looks at home among vases, books and other ceramics. Unlit, the flower is a small decorative piece in its own right, and the well can hold a ring or a pair of earrings overnight.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and the holder is made from it throughout, with no metal or glass parts. The surface has a glossy sheen that catches the candlelight, and the colour gathers more darkly in the centre well, so the petals seem to fold inwards towards the flame. For styling, set it beside something taller, such as a glass vase or a stack of books, so the low flower reads clearly against them, or group a few on a tray for a softly lit centrepiece.
