Know before you buy
These candlesticks are designed specifically for standard taper candles.
Because each piece is wheel-thrown and finished with an iron oxide glaze, there will be slight variations in shape and finish. These subtle differences are intentional and reflect the unique, artisanal nature of the ceramic process.
The candlesticks range in height from 6.25 to 7.50 inches. This variation is a deliberate design choice that adds visual interest and a sense of organic movement when displayed together.
Yes, they are designed for tabletop use with a weighted, functional base. However, as with any ceramic decor, they should be placed on a level, stable surface to ensure safety.
To remove wax, gently scrape off the excess with a plastic tool or credit card to avoid scratching the glaze. You can then wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth.
