Know before you buy
This candleholder features an unglazed red clay finish, meaning the surface is porous and matte. It is intended for decorative indoor use and should be kept away from moisture to preserve the integrity of the clay.
No, this piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain or humidity could damage the unglazed clay material over time.
Because the clay is unglazed, it is best to clean it by gently dusting with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using water or liquid cleaners, as the porous surface may absorb them.
Yes, this piece is an authentic work by artist Pat Hopper. It is signed and dated by the artist, which is visible on the piece.
Given its figurative design and rustic style, it is best paired with a standard taper candle. Ensure the candle is secured properly, as the unglazed surface provides a natural grip but lacks the smooth finish of glazed ceramic.
