The large Venus ceramic candlestick, made in Germany in the 1960s, exemplifies the mature mid-century modern aesthetic. Standing 41 cm tall, its slender silhouette is crafted from ceramic and finished with a glossy, deep cobalt blue glaze. The body is smooth, with the reflective surface displaying subtle tonal variations as it catches the light. A textured decorative band encircles the center, featuring a geometric relief of squares in warm earthy beige and ochre, each accented by a small black diamond. The top flares gently, while the base tapers conically, emphasizing the piece’s dynamic, vertical character. The spike for holding the candle has been reattached; there is a small chip in the glaze at the base. Condition: good – the piece is structurally sound, retaining authentic vintage character with only minimal signs of age.This candlestick recalls the voice of 1960s German design, when bold colors and geometric motifs marked an era of optimism and belief in modernity. The cobalt ceramic surface appears to capture and deepen light, while the hand-modeled decorative band hints at the artistic freedom and experimentation of its time. The object tells the story of an era when everyday items became expressions of personal style and aesthetic choices.The candlestick could be displayed on a rosewood sideboard, a veneered console, or a minimalist coffee table. It works as a standalone accent or within a collection of 1960s ceramics, creating a composition alongside vases in similar tones or contrasting shapes. Interiors with a mid-century modern spirit, eclectic living rooms, or retro-inspired spaces would highlight its decorative appeal, especially when paired with subtle lighting and natural-hued textiles.
