Brown stoneware candlestick with handle H19 L14

Brown stoneware candlestick, probably from the second half of the 20th century. Tall shape with a flared base, a tapered shaft, and a circular receptacle for a candle, complemented by a curved side handle. Thick stoneware with an irregular surface, featuring shiny dark brown glaze on the upper part and more matte areas revealing the natural colour of the clay. The turning marks and shaping irregularities likely indicate handmade production, in the spirit of the utilitarian ceramic works that saw a significant revival from the 1960s-1970s. The handle shape recalls the ancient typology of the portable candlestick, once used to move a candle from one room to another. Its size and weight ensure good stability on a table, console, or shelf. Dimensions: height 19 cm; width 14 cm. Weight: 1 kg. Generally in good condition, with surface irregularities and variations in glaze related to handmade production. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
