Description
This ceramic candle holder is a simple tube rising from a softly flared base, made to hold a single taper or stick candle upright. It comes in a muted slate grey with a smooth, glossy finish that picks up the glow of the flame. It is small and neat, 5.7cm across and 5.4cm tall, so it fits comfortably on a busy table without taking over. The opening takes candles of approximately 2cm in diameter, which leaves you free to choose plain, coloured or twisted candles to suit the room and the season.
Because it is so compact, it works almost anywhere you want a single flame: the middle of a dining table, a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a deep windowsill. One on its own gives a quiet, pared-back look, while a few set along a table runner make a relaxed centrepiece for an evening meal. The flared base gives it a wider footing than the tube alone, and its low height keeps the eye on the candle and the flame rather than on the holder. The soft grey sits easily beside white walls, pale wood and other muted colours, and it suits a modern flat just as well as a cottage kitchen.
It is made from ceramic, with the same glossy finish over the tube and the base and no pattern to distract from the candle. Choose a candle that fits the opening snugly so it stands straight, and as with any candle, never leave it burning unattended or near anything that could catch. For care, wipe the holder with a damp cloth and dry it, dust with a soft dry cloth between uses, and let any spilled wax set before lifting it gently away. Tucked in with a pair of tapers, it makes a simple, thoughtful small gift, or a quick way to add a little colour to a shelf.
