Description
This is a ceramic chamberstick candle holder with a rounded dish base and a looped side handle for easy carrying. It measures 10.5cm wide, 11cm deep and 4.5cm high, and weighs just 0.16kg, so it sits neatly on a shelf, sill or bedside table without taking up much room. The central cup holds a standard taper or dinner candle, while the wide saucer catches drips as the flame burns down. The finish is a glossy mottled glaze in warm brown, with the reactive surface giving each piece its own pattern of tone and speckle.
We like this candle holder in spaces that call for a softer, homely mood, from a kitchen dresser to a hallway console or a reading nook. The looped handle nods to old chamber candlesticks, so it earns its place in cottage, farmhouse and rustic schemes, yet the compact form also works against pared-back modern surfaces. Group a few at varying heights along a dining table, pair one with a matchbox and a linen napkin, or stand it alone beside a stack of books. The brown glaze sits happily alongside natural wood, stoneware crockery and muted earthy textiles.
Made from ceramic, the holder is fired and coated in a glossy glaze that pools and mottles across the body and base. The rounded handle is formed as part of the piece for a smooth, continuous line, and the broad foot keeps it stable in use. Because the glaze is reactive, colour depth and speckling vary from one holder to the next. Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Remove any wax residue gently once cooled, and avoid harsh abrasives that could dull the surface. Trim wicks and never leave a burning candle unattended.
