Whimsy Checked Tea Light Candle Holder – Hand-Painted Ceramic Lamp-Style Luminary

Step into a world of enchanting color and playful elegance with this beautiful hand painted whimsy checked tea light candle holder, a unique piece of pierced ceramic art that maximizes charm in any space. This lamp-style lantern is designed to be a vibrant focal point, whether illuminated or as a standalone decorative sculpture. Approx. 7x5 inches, weight 1-1/2 pounds.

Custom designed and painted, this piece is a tribute to the iconic, vibrant style pioneered by the visionary ceramic artist, Victoria Mackenzie-Childs. It channels the spirit of her early whimsical collections, featuring the intricate, cheerful aesthetic that is adored by collectors worldwide. It is a perfect acquisition for anyone who appreciates the "cottagecore," "chintz," or "eclectic" design styles, or for those seeking a one-of-a-kind statement piece that sparks joy.

Unique in style, this pierced ceramic candle holder is composed of two primary sections that stack to form a miniature lamp:

• The pierced ceramic base offers a sturdy, flared pedestal style with intricate cut-out hearts and quatrefoils, banded with rings of pastel checks, dots, and cheerful 'doodle' accents in an array of colors.
• The wide, pierced ceramic hexagonal 'shade' that sits atop the base is adorned with a delicate lattice of cut-outs that create a lacework effect. The shade is filled with a rich, cheerful medley of colors, floral-inspired sprigs, and, most notably, a checked pattern border.

Each brushstroke transforms this ceramic luminary into a glowing piece of functional art. The high-gloss finish seals the design for a smooth finish and ensures the longevity of its brilliant colors.

The Magic of the Luminary Effect

The true artistry of this piece is revealed when it is lit. The addition of a small, lit candle within the lamp transforms te piece into a dazzling luminary. The flickering light streams through the patterned openings, casting a beautiful, light display onto surrounding walls and surfaces creating a warm and captivating glow. A perfect piece to add to a dining table, a cozy reading nook, a mantelpiece, a guest room, a vanity or dark hallway.
