ABOUT PRODUCTID 14967
This ceramic candlestick, produced by the Czech manufacturer Ditmar Urbach in the 1960s, embodies the Brusel modernist style. The design features an organic, sculptural form referencing a stylized fish motif, with textured scales and a fluid, abstract tail. There are two distinct candle holders set at different heights, connected within an integrated, undulating silhouette. The surface is finished with a glossy glaze in a dynamic gradient—deep olive green blending into warm amber-brown and honey accents, the effect further enhanced by the smooth, reflective texture typical of artisanal ceramics. The base is signed, and the piece is characterized by cohesive proportions and subtle transitions between elements. The candlestick remains in excellent condition, without visible damage, chips, or restoration.
This object expresses the tone of post-war Central European optimism—a ceramic narrative where nature and design merge in the hands of Brusel-era artisans. Its dynamic contour and interplay of light on the lustrous glaze evoke visions of modernist interiors, where craftsmanship and a search for new forms and color harmonies were paramount. The candlestick seems to echo dreams of modernity while remaining intimately linked to everyday rituals and the soft, reflective glow of candlelight.
It could be paired with other Brusel or 1960s modernist objects and displayed on a sideboard or low wooden shelf, where its colors complement the surrounding natural materials. The piece works well against richly textured textiles such as velvet or heavy linen, or among ceramics in contrasting hues. In collector's interiors, mid-century arrangements, or eclectic living rooms, this candlestick may serve as a striking focal point, especially when lit candles accentuate the glaze and bring out subtle gradients in the finish.
