Description
These are two stoneware candle holders in the shape of cats, sold as a set of two, and each carries a flower-shaped cup on its back that takes a single taper candle. One cat crouches low, its body ringed with drawn stripes; the other stands on four legs, dotted with spots, with a small bird perched beside its flower. Both tails curl round into a little loop. Both are multicoloured. The smaller holder is 9.5cm long, 6.5cm wide and 8cm tall, and the larger is 12cm long, 6.5cm wide and 10cm tall, so the two candles stand at slightly different heights, which looks relaxed and natural when they sit together.
At this size they suit a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or the centre of a dining table, and they are compact enough to share a bedside table or a narrow shelf. The cats give them a gentle sense of humour, so they sit happily in a playful sitting room or a hallway, and they make a thoughtful present for anyone who loves cats. Light them for a birthday, a dinner party or a dark winter evening and they bring a little charm without crowding the room. Because the two animals are different, they also work apart, one in each of two rooms.
Both holders are 100% stoneware. Stoneware is a dense ceramic fired at a high temperature, which gives it a solid, reassuring weight, and the listed weight here is 0.44KG. The flower cups have layered petals, and the stripes, spots and faces are drawn in fine lines that keep each cat's expression calm and friendly. Place them a hand's width apart so the curled tails and the little bird stay in view, and choose plain taper candles in one shade to let the cats do the talking. The candles and other styling props shown are not included.
