Description
Thorne is a candle holder built from a stack of soft curves: a slim upright socket at the top, a round bulb beneath it, then a flattened ring and a wider foot. It is made of 100% stoneware and finished in a smooth, matt blue glaze, so the colour reads as solid and even rather than glossy. At 16cm tall and 11cm across, it is a compact piece that gives a single taper candle real presence, and at 0.43KG it has the reassuring heft of proper stoneware in the hand.
Because the holder is only 16cm tall, it suits the places where a taller candlestick would feel crowded: a side table beside a reading chair, a narrow mantelpiece, a hall console or the middle of a small dining table. The blue is strong enough to hold its own against pink, terracotta or warm neutral walls, and it pairs well with brass and gold accents on a sideboard or dresser. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone setting up a new home, or for a friend who likes colour in a room and would rather have one well-shaped object than a clutter of ornaments.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing clay fired at high temperature, which is why it feels solid and keeps its shape. The smooth matt glaze runs from the rim of the socket to the edge of the foot, giving it a soft, velvety surface with no shine to catch reflections. The silhouette is entirely round, so it looks the same from every side and can sit anywhere on a table without a front or back. As a styling idea, try two or three in a row along a mantelpiece with candles of different heights, or set one alone on a coffee table where its curves have room to breathe.

Frequently Asked
What is the Thorne candle holder made of?
It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense clay, and finished all over in a smooth matt glaze in blue.
How big is it?
It stands 16cm tall and measures 11cm across at its widest point, and it weighs 0.43KG.
What kind of candle does it hold?
It is shaped to hold one taper candle in the narrow socket at the top. The maker does not give the socket's width, so measure the base of your candle first.
Is the finish shiny?
No. The glaze is smooth and matt, so the blue has a soft, even surface without the shine of a gloss glaze.

At 16cm tall it suits a side table, a mantelpiece, a hall console or the centre of a small dining table, either alone or in a row.
