Shadow Play Black Ceramic Candle Holder

I have been using this holder on my desk for a month and it does exactly what I wanted. A standard taper sits straight in the opening and the ceramic stays cool while the candle burns down. The black finish hides wax drips well, and the base is wide enough that I do not worry about it tipping. It is simple, solid, and easy to wipe clean.

I just set this design on my mantel and I love it! Such a cute, sculptural shape, and the black ceramic makes the design pop.

I really like this design but it is smaller than I pictured.

The silhouette is clean and simple, and it holds a candle upright without any wobble. It looks good from across the room, though the opening is a little narrow for thicker candles.

I am completely in love with this design.

I put these holders out for a dinner party last week and two guests asked about them before the food even arrived. They are heavier than they look, so the candles feel secure, and the black ceramic has a quiet, sculptural presence. I have tried other holders that looked awkward once a candle was in them, and this pair finally looks right. The shape suits my table without competing with the plates.

I have had this design on my sideboard for a few weeks and it keeps catching my eye. Every time I light a candle in it the room feels calmer. It is a small detail that changes the whole corner.

Love this holder, and the shadow play shape is gorgeous.

These holders are very practical and sturdy. I bought two in the same finish because they look really nice together on a shelf.
