About the Item

This charming, unique glazed ceramic sculpture, designed to serve as a candleholder, was created by one of the master ceramicists at the famous Werkstatte in Vienna, or by an American craftsman influenced by their work. The shepherd boy, shading his eyes from the sun, is accompanied by a lamb who -- fully trusting his master -- is leaning against the boy's leg. The sculpture is glazed in pale shades of sand, dusty pink and slate blue, all with a lovely, understated craquelure.
