Description
This stoneware candle holder stands 13cm tall and 8cm across and holds a single taper candle upright. Its form recalls a short length of branch: the body narrows gently through the middle, flares out to a wider foot and carries a raised knot on one side. Ridges run round it in rings, much like the grain of cut wood, and they catch the light so the grey surface looks lively rather than flat. It is made from 100% stoneware and weighs 0.22KG. It is a small, quiet object with a lot of character, the sort that rewards a closer look.
Its compact size makes it easy to place. It suits a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a bookshelf or a coffee table, and it brings a soft glow to the dining table for supper with friends. The grey is calm enough for a pale, Scandinavian-style room and textured enough to hold its own beside oak, rattan, linen and bouclé. Because it is round with a flared foot, it fits neatly on a narrow shelf or the corner of a desk. Use one alone for a simple, graphic outline, or gather it with other holders and candles of varying lengths for a fuller arrangement through the winter months.
Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, a good match for an object handled whenever a fresh candle is fitted. The rings are raised in the stoneware itself, so the texture continues on every side and the knot gives the outline a little asymmetry that feels natural rather than fussy. The styling props shown are not included, so a taper candle of your own completes it. For the best balance, choose a candle in a muted, earthy tone and let the holder's texture take the lead.
