Description
This is a set of three stoneware holders, two made for a candle and one for a tealight, each glazed and shaped with flat, faceted sides so it looks a little like a cut stone. The three are deliberately mismatched in height: the shortest stands 6cm tall and 8.5cm across, the middle one 7cm tall and 9.5cm across, and the tallest 11cm tall and 7cm across. The glaze is multicoloured across the set, so the three read as a family rather than a matching row, and the whole set weighs 0.63KG.
They suit a coffee table, a mantelpiece, a windowsill or the centre of a dining table, where the different heights give a small cluster of light some shape. Grouped together they make a low arrangement for a sideboard or a bookshelf; used separately, one can sit on a bedside table and the others in the living room. Because one takes a tealight and two take candles, you can mix a short glow with taller flames, which is handy for a dinner party or a quiet evening at home. They also make a thoughtful gift for someone who already loves candles.
Each holder is made from 100% stoneware. Stoneware is a dense clay fired at a high temperature, which gives it a hard, durable body. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the shading on your set may differ slightly from piece to piece and from one set to the next; we see that as part of the appeal of a glazed piece. The styling props shown are not included, so have your own candles and tealights ready. As a styling note, stand the tallest holder at the back and stagger the other two in front, or gather all three on a small tray so the group stays together.

Frequently Asked
What material are the holders?
All three holders are made from 100% stoneware and finished in a glaze that is multicoloured across the set.
Which holders take a candle and which takes a tealight?
Two of the three are made to hold a candle, and the third has a wider opening that holds a tealight.
How big is each holder?
The shortest is 6cm tall and 8.5cm across, the middle one is 7cm tall and 9.5cm across, and the tallest is 11cm tall and 7cm across.
Are the candles included?
No. The styling props shown, the candles and tealight included, are not part of the set, which is the three stoneware holders only.
Will every set have identical colouring?
Not exactly. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the shading can differ slightly between pieces and sets.
