Description
This is a set of three stoneware and iron candle holders, each shaped like a wrapped sweet with twisted ends. The set gives three different designs: a striped sweet, a block-shaped sweet scattered with dots, and a rounder sweet with broad bands, all in multicoloured, handpainted stoneware. Each holder is 10cm long, 5cm wide and 5.5cm tall, so these are small, low pieces that sit neatly in a tight spot rather than tall candlesticks that need clearance. A metal ring at the top of each one holds a single candle upright.
Because they are so compact, all three fit along a windowsill, a mantelpiece or the middle of a festive table, and they work best grouped together, where the different patterns play off one another. They suit a Christmas display, sitting happily beside other seasonal decorations, but the cheerful colour and sweet shapes also brighten a sideboard or bookshelf through the rest of the year. Set one at each end of a shelf and one in the middle, or line them up in a row on a narrow ledge where a larger candle holder would crowd the space. We think they also make a fun present for someone who likes their decorations bright and a little playful.
Each holder is made from stoneware with iron, and the finish is painted by hand, so the stripes, bands and dots carry the soft edges of real brushwork rather than the crisp lines of a print. The surface has a glossy shine that catches candlelight. Stoneware is a dense, sturdy ceramic, which gives these small pieces a reassuring solidity on a shelf or table. The candles and other styling props shown are not included. For the best look, choose slim candles in a single plain shade so the holders stay the centre of attention, and mix candle heights for extra rhythm when all three sit together.
