Description
This stoneware candle holder has real character: a slim hourglass silhouette, narrow at the waist and flared at the foot, with a small rounded knot on one side, rather like the stub of a branch. Its surface is worked all over in relief, with rows of small dimples and ridges sweeping around the body, and the grey shifts in tone between the hollows and the raised points, so the texture reads clearly from across a room. It is made from 100% stoneware, it is 8cm across and 17cm tall, and it holds a single candle in the socket at its top.
At 17cm tall it gives a candle a little lift without towering, which suits a dining table where you still want a clear view of your guests. It sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a hallway console, and at 8cm across it takes up little room on a narrow shelf. The muted grey works easily with pale oak, rattan and linen, so it is as much at home in a calm living room as in a bedroom or a study. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone furnishing a first home, as a candle holder is useful every evening and suits almost any room.
Stoneware is clay fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing. At 0.29KG it is light enough to carry from room to room without a second thought. The pattern is modelled into the form itself rather than printed, so the texture stays crisp under the fingers and catches the light as a candle burns. The styling props shown are not included, so choose your own candle: a tall, slim one in a soft, muted shade lets the texture take the attention, and a short stack of books beside it finishes a sideboard nicely.
