Description
Our Feast candle holder is a small stoneware nutcracker for Christmas, made to hold a slim taper candle upright in his hat. He is 7cm across and 9cm tall, a compact size that tucks in easily among other festive pieces, and at 0.16KG he is light enough to move from the table to the windowsill and back as the season goes on. The figure is fully modelled: a round face with a raised nose, a bold moustache and a full beard, a green jacket with frogging across the chest, a belt and buckle, and sturdy boots at the base. The top of the hat is open, and that is where the candle sits.
This is a seasonal piece through and through, and it is happiest wherever you gather a few Christmas things together. Stand it on a windowsill where the candle catches the low winter light, on a mantelpiece among cards and greenery, or on a bookshelf on a short stack of books. On the Christmas table it makes a cheerful centrepiece, either on its own or grouped with other candle holders along the middle of the table. It also makes a thoughtful small gift for anyone who loves the nutcracker tradition.
It is made from 100% stoneware. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and the boots form a broad base for the figure to stand on. The surface has a glossy finish that picks up the candlelight, and the raised nose, moustache and beard stand out in relief, so the face reads clearly even from across the room. The styling props shown are not included. For the neatest look, choose a slim taper in a soft, muted shade so the green jacket stays the focus, and tuck a sprig of fir or a few pine cones around his boots.
