Can you use ceramic as a candle holder?
Ceramics have been used as candle holders for centuries. From antique candelabras to honeycomb drip mid-century modern candle holders, this material is a fantastic vessel for candles. However, before being used as a candle holder, ceramics need to undergo special treatment to ensure they are no longer porous. They need to be glazed to ensure they are impermeable to candle wax or any other liquid.
How are ceramic candlestick holders made?
Nearly all ceramic candlestick holders start life as a piece of clay. Firstly, an artisan would work out the circumference of the candle they making the holder for. This would dictate how much clay was needed. Then, the clay would be worked by hand or using a wheel to create the shape required.
Many creative Italian artisans chose to craft ornate pieces with art nouveau-inspired curves in the mid-century, while delftware saw smaller cable holders formed out of clay. Once the shape was complete, a wet piece of material would be gently placed across all exposed parts of the candle holder to smooth the surface and remove any holes. The candle holder was then ready for firing in a kiln. Paints and a glaze would then be applied for decoration before a final firing to ensure the candle holder was non-porous and safe to use.
