Description
Trudy is a pink stoneware candle holder in the shape of a small bird, its head curving round towards a cup that takes a single taper candle. The body rises from a short, sturdy foot, so the candle stands at the back like a raised tail and the whole piece reads as a little character in its own right. It is 12.5cm tall, 9cm long and 6cm wide, a compact size for a windowsill, a narrow mantelpiece or the corner of a desk, and at 0.28KG it is light enough to move from room to room with ease.
Because it holds one candle, it is happiest in a spot where a single flame is enough: a bedside table, a bookshelf between paperbacks, or a hall console where a tall taper adds height to a low arrangement. On a dining table or sideboard it sits well among other candle holders of different heights, and the bird shape gives a group of plain holders a playful focal point. It suits a living room or a reading corner equally well, and it makes a thoughtful small gift for anyone who likes hand-painted ceramics with a bit of personality.
It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and it is partly decorated by hand. The painted details include fine stripes around the cup, a leaf-shaped wing with a small flower at its centre, spots around the foot and a scalloped band at the base, all under a glossy finish. Because part of the decoration is applied by hand, the brushwork can differ a little from one piece to the next, so yours will have its own small quirks. For the neatest look, choose a slim taper in a soft, muted shade, and turn the bird so its curved head faces the room.
