Description
These stoneware candle holders come as a set of two, and each one is built up like a small sculpture. A little bird with a dotted body sits on the base, and from its back opens a flower-like cup with a leaf pattern painted on every petal, which takes a slim taper candle. The two pieces share the bird and the flower but stand on different bases, one a rounded double tier and the other a tapering cone, so the pair looks matched without being identical. Each holder is 12cm tall and 7cm across, a compact size that fits a narrow shelf or a busy tabletop.
Because they stand low, they hold a taper candle at a comfortable height without crowding a dining table, a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a sideboard. The birds and petals make them a natural fit for spring tables and Easter gatherings, yet the multicoloured painting is cheerful enough to stay out all year. Keep them side by side, or split them between two rooms where one candle is enough. They also make a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes folk-style pattern and hand-painted pieces in the home.
Both holders are made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired ceramic, and every dot and leaf line is painted by hand rather than printed. They should not go in the dishwasher, microwave or oven, so clean them by hand. The styling props shown are not included, so bring your own taper candles. For styling, choose candles in one plain shade so the painted birds stay the focus, or set two different candle heights in them to play up the contrast between the rounded base and the cone.

Are the two holders the same?
