Product description
This is a ceramic candle holder from the mid-20th century, manufactured in the French pottery town of Vallauris. The piece is a characteristic example of the 'fat lava' style, which was popular in the 1950s and 1960s and is known for its expressive, textured glazes.
The candle holder is executed in a deep brown and off-white color scheme, with the thick, volcanic-looking glaze creating a strong tactile and visual contrast. Its shape, with a pedestal and a loop-shaped handle, is reminiscent of a traditional oil lamp. The underside is marked 'Vallauris', confirming its origin.
The object is in good condition consistent with its age and use. The overall structure and the unique character of the 'fat lava' glaze have been well preserved, contributing to its authentic vintage appearance.
This candle holder is a decorative accent that fits well into an interior with Mid-Century Modern, Brutalist, or eclectic influences. It can serve as a standalone object on a dresser or side table, or as part of a ceramics collection.
