Søholm Stoneware Candlestick, Noomi Backhausen

Danish ceramics with deep blue glaze from Bornholm.

£35.00

VAT included. Sold under the margin scheme for second-hand goods — no VAT is shown separately.

This candlestick from Danish Søholm carries the rustic and strong aesthetic of the 1960s. The speckled stoneware meets a tactile decor where deep cobalt blue, glossy fields contrast beautifully against the textured brown surface. With its cylindrical foot and bulbous body, it immediately adds warmth and a Scandinavian retro feel to the table setting or windowsill. The item also retains its original factory sticker.

The story of this object

Søholm was founded in 1835 on Bornholm and was for many years one of Denmark's most prominent ceramic factories. During the 1960s and 70s, the factory produced a large amount of popular stoneware with robust shapes and colorful, tactile glazes that are cherished features in many homes today.
