Description from the seller
Set of 6 original Bozen candle holders, handmade in the late 1960s.
The THUN atelier in the town of Bolzano in South Tyrol, Italy, was founded in 1950 by Otmar Graf von Thun und Hohenstein and Hélène Grabmeyer von Angersheim. Both had a passion for ceramics from a young age.
From their first workshop in the cellar of Klebenstein Castle, Lene Thun designed all kinds of objects, such as vases, crockery, and animal figures.
One evening she designs an angel that she paints in color and finishes with gilded details.
This dreamy figure with closed eyes and a slightly bent neck becomes an unprecedented success.
Probably because the aura of the Bozen Angel suggests a blessed world.
Each figurine is hand-painted in warm matte tones with gilded details and belongs to the early Thun production.
This set collector items consists of :
2 angels, height 20 cm, base diameter 13.5 cm :
- white/pink/gold;
- red/green/gold;
4 angels, height 16 cm, base diameter 12 cm :
- green/pink/gold;
- white/gold;
- red/green/yellow;
- red/green/yellow.
These candle holders bring (Christmas) atmosphere and coziness to every home.
All figurines are in good vintage condition appropriate for their age.
No chips, no cracks.
The photos are part of the condition and the description.
Your purchase will be carefully packaged and insured for shipment.
