Ceramic Fir Tree Luminary - Delicate Christmas Candle Light
A taller presence for the mantelpiece or windowsill, this hand-carved fir tree luminary brings quiet warmth to a room once a tea light is lit inside.
Available to pack as a gift just add your message at checkout and I'll include a handwritten gift note.
Each branch is carved by hand using sgraffito: a dark green slip over red clay, scratched back to reveal the clay beneath, so the needles and cones catch the light with real texture rather than a flat glaze. Lit from within, the moss-green interior glaze glows softly through the branches, while the exterior's clear, blue-tinted glaze gives the surface a cool, wintry sheen.
Dimensions & Function:
- Approximately 18.5cm (7.2") in height — the larger of the two Fir Tree Luminary sizes
- Intricate hand-carved fir branches with decorative cones
- Dual Glaze Finish: glowing moss-green interior, clear blue-tinted exterior
- Includes a protective tea light plate to shield the interior from heat
- At home at Christmas and equally striking as a year-round piece
How It's Made
Hand-thrown on the wheel, hand-carved, and high-fired at 1200°C in my Oranmore studio. Hand-thrown on the wheel, hand-carved, and high-fired at 1200°C in my Oranmore studio. Each tree is shaped by hand and carved using sgraffito, so the branch pattern, the cones, and the finish are never quite the same twice.
Care:
- Use only with tea lights on the included protective plate
- Handle with care — lift from the base only when lit, as it becomes very hot
- Allow to cool completely before moving
