Brutalist Ceramic Candle Holder and Vase, 1960s–70s

This versatile ceramic piece combines two functions in one sculptural design. The removable metal candle insert allows it to serve either as a candle holder or as a small decorative vase, offering flexibility rarely found in vintage ceramics.

Its heavily textured surface, relief motifs and earthy glazing reflect the brutalist design movement that influenced decorative arts during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The vessel-like form and tactile finish give the piece a strong architectural presence.

Whether displayed with a candle, a few dried stems or simply as an object of ceramic art, it brings depth, texture and character to vintage-inspired interiors.
