Arne Bang Candle Holder

An early stoneware candle holder designed by Danish ceramicist Arne Bang. The organic shape has been decorated with applied leaves and berries, and the item features an attractive crystalline blue-green glaze.

Bang trained as a sculptor in Copenhagen before establishing a stoneware studio at Holmegaard glassworks in 1930. This candle holder dates from 1935, the year he began to run the studio under his own name.
