Description
This pair of stoneware ornaments is made to look like tall table candles, though there is nothing on them to light. Each piece is a slim column with sculpted drips running from its top edge, a pointed flame at the tip and a round foot on which it stands. The two match in shape but not in pattern: one foot carries a scatter of dots and the other a ring of small flowers, so they read as a pair without being identical. Each ornament is 18cm tall and 7.5cm across, made entirely of stoneware, with a glossy, multicoloured finish.
Because they are never lit, they can stay out all year, not only on the evenings a real candle would be burning. They sit well at the front of a bookshelf, on a sideboard beside a vase of flowers or along a mantelpiece, and they come into their own in the middle of a birthday or celebration table among wrapped presents. Split them up if you prefer: one on a bedside table and one on a windowsill keeps the dotted and flowered patterns talking across a room. They suit anyone who likes a cheerful, patterned look at home, and they make a good present for someone who loves the look of candles.
Stoneware is a dense ceramic fired at high temperature, which gives it a hard, firm body, and each ornament is made wholly of it. The drips and the flame are sculpted into the form, and the patterns are kept to the round feet, leaving the columns plain so the candle shape reads clearly from across the room. Both pieces come together as a pair, and the styling props shown are not included. Stand them a hand's width apart on a flat surface with one slightly forward of the other, and give them a taller vase or a short stack of books as a backdrop.

Frequently Asked
What material are the ornaments?
Each ornament is made wholly of stoneware, a dense ceramic fired at high temperature, and that includes the sculpted flame and the drips.
Can they be lit like real candles?
No. They are stoneware ornaments shaped like candles, with no wick and no wax, so they are purely decorative pieces for display.
Can they hold a real candle?
No. Each piece has a sculpted flame at the top and no socket for a candle, so it stands on its own as an ornament.
How big is each ornament?
Each ornament is 18cm tall and 7.5cm across its round foot, a slim size that fits a narrow shelf, a mantelpiece or a windowsill.
What is included in the order?
You receive two ornaments, one with a dotted foot and one with a flowered foot. The styling props shown are not included.
