Description from the seller
Large studio ceramic candle holder by Swiss ceramicist Kathrin Nigg.
The piece is an outstanding work of contemporary studio ceramics and is notable for its bold, postmodern form language in the expressive Memphis design style.
Memphis Style & Postmodernism: Stacked geometric modules (spheres, rings and cylinders), inspired by the iconic designs of the 1980s.
Color-blocking & Texture: Bright, contrasting color fields (sun yellow, orange, red, violet, green) combined with plastically 3D protrusions, polka-dot patterns and stripe decorations.
Shiny platinum/silver glaze accents at the upper rim and at the base provide an elegant, modern contrast.
Equipped with a central metal candle pin for secure mounting of pillar candles.
Condition: Very good, well-kept condition with no notable signs of wear, chips, or cracks (see close-up photos).
Height: 37 cm
Top diameter: 13 cm
Bottom diameter: 15 cm
Weight: 22 kg
