The Candy candle holder is handmade in earthenware by Kersten, a German brand known for its colorful ceramics. It features a purple/red glaze with hand-painted yellow dots, and due to its handcrafted nature, the shades vary slightly from piece to piece. The earthenware is fired at high temperature, making the surface durable and preserving the colors’ intensity over time. The hole for the candle fits standard taper candles.
Measuring 9×8×16 cm, the candle holder doesn’t take up much space, but its vibrant glaze makes it stand out even on a crowded shelf. The base is flat and stable, ensuring it stands securely on both soft and hard surfaces. Kersten produces in small batches, so each piece has subtle variations in glaze distribution—especially where the yellow dots are placed.
Care and maintenance
Wipe the candle holder with a lightly damp cloth. Avoid placing it in the dishwasher or soaking it in water, as earthenware absorbs moisture.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between earthenware and stoneware candle holders?
Earthenware is fired at a lower temperature (900-1100°C) than stoneware (1200-1300°C), resulting in a more porous and lighter ceramic. Earthenware often has warmer, more rustic colors, while stoneware is denser and more water-resistant. Both materials are durable enough for candle holders.
Can I remove wax from an earthenware candle holder?
Place the candle holder in the freezer for 30 minutes so the wax hardens and can be gently scraped off with a wooden stick. Avoid metal tools as they can scratch the glaze. Residue can be wiped away with kitchen paper and a little dish soap.
Does the Kersten Candy candle holder fit standard taper candles?
Yes, the hole is designed for regular taper candles with a diameter of about 2.2 cm. If the candle fits loosely, you can drip a little wax into the hole and secure the candle while the wax is warm.
Is a colorful candle holder a good hostess gift?
Yes, especially if the host enjoys playful colors in their decor. The Candy candle holder is compact enough to fit most spaces, and the price of 109 DKK makes it a thoughtful gift without being overwhelming. Pair it with a set of quality candles.
Why do Kersten candle holders vary in color?
Kersten hand-paints the dots and applies the glaze manually, so the placement and shades vary naturally. Additionally, the glaze reacts differently during firing depending on the kiln position and temperature fluctuations. This means no two candle holders are exactly alike.
