Head ceramic sculpture of candle holder
About the Item
This is a ceramic candle holder from Italy, dating back to the 1920s or 1930s. It is crafted in the shape of a stylized male head with exaggerated facial features, including arched eyebrows, a prominent nose, and a thick mustache. The face is hand-painted with earthy tones, blue, and yellow, giving it a rustic yet expressive appearance. The handles, symmetrically positioned on either side, resemble ears or stylized hair, adding to the character's unique charm. The top opening serves as a holder for a candle, making it both decorative and functional. The ceramic shows signs of aging, with cracks and wear, enhancing its antique appeal. This piece likely belongs to a regional Italian folk art tradition, blending whimsy with craftsmanship. It embodies the playful yet skilled artistry of early 20th-century Italian ceramics.
