Description
This pair of multicoloured candle holders is made from 100% stoneware and shaped as two cats with plenty of character. One sits upright, its body ringed with painted stripes and a flower-shaped cup set on its head; the other stands on four legs, covered in spots, with its tail raised and a leaf-patterned cup on its back. Each cup takes a single taper candle, so the cat itself becomes the base. The measurements given are 12cm long, 7.5cm wide and 16cm tall, closer to a small ornament than a tall candlestick, and the weight given is 0.522KG.
We think they look best together, as the pair they are: side by side on a windowsill, or among candles and small vases down the middle of a dining table, where the striped cat and the spotted cat seem to keep each other company. A single cat on a chest of drawers or a console table brings a little humour to a quiet corner of the room. They suit anyone who likes folk-style ceramics and animal pieces, and they make a cheerful gift for a cat lover or someone setting up a first home.
Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, and it gives each cat a solid, settled feel on a shelf or table. The painted stripes and spots sit against the plain stoneware body, and the flower and leaf cups carry the finest detail of each piece. The styling props shown are not included, so you will need to add your own candles. For a calm look, we would choose candles in one soft shade so the patterns on the cats stay the focus; for something livelier, pick a different shade for each cat.
