The Georgschutte candle warmer/tealight holder from the 1970s exemplifies German design where form and function intertwine in a modernist spirit with a touch of brutalism. Crafted from thick, transparent glass with pronounced solidity and crystalline clarity, the top surface is flat and smooth, emphasizing a minimalist approach, while the underside features regularly arranged cylindrical protrusions that create a sculptural, architectural rhythm. The sides are subtly irregular, displaying textural variations characteristic of hand-pressed glass. There are no decorative motifs or color accents, highlighting the material’s purity and the high standard of craftsmanship. The structure is robust, with invisible joints and noticeable wall thickness. Preserved in excellent condition, with no usage marks—only minor production traces typical for vintage glass.
This candle holder tells a story of 1970s German design, where the rawness of the material met the search for contemporary form. The transparent glass, reminiscent of an ice sheet, reflects the candle’s flame, casting a pronounced, graphic shadow on any surface. The geometric protrusions evoke the industrial architecture of the era, their rhythm building a sense of calm and order. Devoid of ornament, the glass seems to say: “Here, structure, light, and material honesty take precedence.”
It can be paired with other glass objects from the era to create a composition on a low sideboard or table in the living room. It works well in minimalist or brutalist interiors or among furnishings with simple, geometric lines. Combining it with metal trays, raw ceramics, or natural wood is advisable to emphasize material contrasts and sharpen the modernist character of the arrangement.
The thick glass ensures stability and resistance to heat. With a height of 6.
