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.
