Description
Hale is a pair of stoneware candle holders, each built up from stacked blocks like a miniature tower. One is made of three squared tiers, the lower two pierced with open windows, so you can see straight through its base; the other is a column of angled wedges that zigzag towards the top. Both carry a deep brown, pitted glaze. They are compact: one is 6.5cm long, 5cm wide and 9.5cm tall, the other 8.5cm long, 5cm wide and 11cm tall, and each takes a single taper candle at its top.
Because they differ in height, the two holders read as a pair rather than twins, which makes them easy to group. Stand them side by side on a dining table, a mantelpiece or a side table, or split them between a windowsill and a bookshelf, where the cut-outs and stepped outlines can be seen from every side. Their size suits a small surface too: a bathroom shelf, the corner of a desk or a narrow hallway console. They suit anyone who likes sculptural pieces with plenty of texture, and they bring the glow of candlelight to a supper for two or a quiet evening at home.
Both are made of 100% stoneware. Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, and here a glaze gives each holder its brown surface. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the tone and speckling of your pair may differ slightly from piece to piece. The surface is textured all over, with pits and raised flecks rather than a smooth finish, and it looks best at close range. For styling, pair them with slim taper candles and leave a little space between the two so each outline reads clearly; the styling props shown are not included.

Frequently Asked
Which material is used for the holders?
Both holders are made of 100% stoneware, a dense, high-fired ceramic, finished with a textured brown glaze.
How big is each candle holder?
One holder is 6.5cm long, 5cm wide and 9.5cm tall; the other is 8.5cm long, 5cm wide and 11cm tall, so they stand at slightly different heights.
Are candles included?
No. You receive the two stoneware candle holders only, and the styling props shown are not included, so you will need your own taper candles.
What kind of candle do they hold?
Each holder takes a single taper candle at its top, the slim, tall style often used on a dining table.
Do the two holders match in colour?
Both are brown, but the maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so tone and speckling can vary from piece to piece.
Do the two holders have the same shape?
No. One is built from three squared tiers with open windows through the lower two, and the other is a column of angled, zigzagging wedges.
