Description
This stoneware Christmas candle holder takes the shape of a nutcracker, and it holds a single taper candle in the opening at the top of his crown. It is 8cm across and 7cm tall, so the figure itself stays small and the candle provides the height. The modelling is the charm of it: a rounded body, a raised moustache and full beard, a belted coat with a buckle at the front, arms held at his sides and a pair of boots at the base. The colour is multicoloured, with each part of the figure in its own shade under a glossy surface.
It belongs to the Christmas season, and its size makes it easy to place. Set it on a windowsill where a lit candle shows from outside, on a mantelpiece among greenery, on a bookshelf, or down the middle of the Christmas table. One on its own is a cheerful touch on a hall table or a desk; several along a shelf read like a small line of guards on parade. It suits families who bring the same decorations out each December, and it makes a thoughtful small gift for anyone who collects nutcrackers or simply likes a bit of character at Christmas.
The holder is made entirely of stoneware and weighs 0.13KG, light enough to move from windowsill to table whenever you like. Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it a dense, hard ceramic. The glossy surface sets off the raised detail of the beard, moustache and buckle. The styling props shown are not included. For the neatest look, choose a taper candle in a shade that picks up one of the colours in his coat or crown, and set a few pine cones around his boots.
