Lobster Red Handmade Ceramic Candle Lamp, by Barbro Sundelin for Basun Keramik

About the Item

This handmade earthenware candleholder, crafted by Barbro Sundelin for Basun, Sweden in the 1990s, features a striking lobster-red glaze. Its organic design includes a ball-shaped top, a larger circular opening surrounded by drop-shaped cutouts, and small circular openings on the roof. When you light a tea light inside this lobster-red glazed candleholder, the light shines through its various openings, creating intricate patterns that dance across the surrounding surfaces. The combination of circular, drop-shaped, and small openings, results in a captivating display of light and shadow. This unique effect highlights the artistry and craftsmanship of Barbro Sundelin, making the candleholder not just a functional piece, but also a decorative work of art. The combination of cut clay and vibrant red glaze makes this piece a unique and eye-catching addition to any space. ABOUT BASUN KERAMIK Barbro Sundelin (1930-) is a Swedish ceramist, teacher, and speech therapist born in Halmstad. Influenced by her father, who was the head of St Erik Lervarufabrik (St Erik pottery factory) in Uppsala, she developed a lifelong passion for clay. Although initially a teacher, she dedicated herself to ceramics after retirement, founding Basun Keramik in 1997 in Uppsala. Known for her handmade gnomes, figures, bowls, and a unique bread bowl with an imprinted recipe, Barbro continues to create ceramics, signing her work "BASUN" (BArbro SUNdelin).
