Description
This is a two-armed candle holder in green stoneware, painted by hand with bands of darker green that wrap around its curving U shape. Each arm rises to its own candle cup, one higher than the other, so a pair of tapers burns at two different heights. Rounded bulges on both arms and a stacked, flared foot give the outline a soft, rounded look. It stands 27cm tall, 16cm long and 9cm wide, and weighs 0.9KG, so it is a substantial piece rather than a slender candlestick.
Because it is longer than it is deep, it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a narrow console table, with the two flames spread along its length. It is just as much at home at the centre of a dining table on a long evening with friends, or on a hall table where the stripes greet everyone who arrives. The green suits rooms built around warm wood, linen and natural plaster, and it brings a lively note to a shelf of plainer ceramics. It also makes a cheerful present for someone furnishing a first home who loves colour and a touch of playfulness.
It is made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and the stripes are painted on by hand, so the bands waver slightly in the way a brush line does. Its glossy surface gives the green depth and catches the candlelight. It does not go in the dishwasher, so clean it by hand, and it is not for the microwave or the oven. The candles and other styling props shown are not included. For the cleanest look, pair it with plain white or ivory tapers, which let the stripes lead, and give it space on a surface of pale wood or stone where its curves stand clear.

Frequently Asked
What material is the candle holder?
It is made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and the finished piece weighs 0.9KG, so it has a solid feel in the hand.
How many candles does it hold?
It has two arms, each ending in its own candle cup, so it holds two taper candles, one standing higher than the other.
How big is it?
It stands 27cm tall, 16cm long and 9cm wide, a size that sits well on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or the centre of a dining table.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. The maker states it should not go in the dishwasher, so clean it by hand. It is not for the microwave or the oven either.
Is the striped pattern painted by hand?
Yes. The stripes are handpainted in a darker green over a lighter green, so each band wavers slightly in the way a brush line does.
