Materials and Types of Bird Candle Holders
Bird candle holders come in several materials, each giving a different expression to the space. Ceramic is popular for its handcrafted look and soft shapes, while glass holders often have a more playful and colorful character. Metal is mainly used for more minimalist or antique-inspired designs. At Dims Studio, you’ll especially see:
- Ceramic – often hand-painted with detailed bird figures, e.g., from Quail and &Klevering.
- Glass – colored or clear, with bird motifs cast into the shape, typically from EJA or Anna Von Lipa.
- Metal – often brass or painted iron, where the bird acts as a decorative element on the holder itself.
Sizes and Dimensions
Bird candle holders vary greatly in size. The smallest models measure about 8-10 cm in height and suit small tealights or taper candles. Medium sizes typically range from 13-18 cm, where the bird figure is often integrated into the holder’s base. The largest designs can be up to 25 cm tall and serve as statement pieces on the dining table or windowsill. Width ranges from 5 to 15 cm depending on the design and bird shape.
Stories Behind Brands and Designers
Dims Studio gathers bird candle holders from carefully selected brands, each with their own approach to form language and materials. Rice is known for colorful, imaginative designs where birds appear as playful elements. Quail creates ceramics with British charm, often inspired by nature’s birdlife. &Klevering from Amsterdam experiments with both glass and ceramic, and their bird candle holders have a modern twist. Bongusta and Bloomingville contribute quirky, humorous figures, while Anna+Nina and EJA often work with dreamy, fairy-tale silhouettes.
