This 1970s ceramic candlestick is an example of European design where functionality meets bold, geometric form. Crafted from porcelain, it features a smooth, uniform texture and a solidity characteristic of the era. The straightforward cylindrical silhouette is accentuated by two disc-like rings at the center, lending the piece an architectural profile. Its surface is coated in a glossy glaze with a deep, dark green—almost olive—gradient effect, shifting from near-black edges to lighter, yellow-olive tones at the center. Subtle horizontal ribbing on the midsection adds rhythm and texture, while the broad, stable base and wide top ensure secure placement of a candle. The absence of ornate decoration highlights the minimalist, utilitarian aesthetic so typical of the 1970s. Condition is good, with a minor chip at the base that does not affect stability or usability. The form evokes the voice of modernist Europe in the 1970s: this candlestick appears as a small architectural sculpture, self-aware yet unobtrusive in its presence. The green gradient nods to natural inspirations, and the glossy, glazed surface reflects the candlelight, creating an atmosphere of focus and calm. It is an object that seems to say, 'I am here to invite a moment of stillness and infuse the everyday with a hint of ritual.' It can be paired with other mid-century modern pieces—such as goblet-shaped vases, minimalist ceramic bowls, or low wooden consoles. It works well as a solo accent in a living room, placed on a sideboard or table where the glaze gradient contrasts against a light backdrop. Combining it with soft, natural lighting and textiles in beige or grey tones will underscore the depth of green and the sculptural quality of the candlestick.
