This hand-crafted tealight warmer from Germany, dating to the 1970s, exemplifies the distinctive space age style of its era. The construction features a cylindrical body made of copper with a soft, matte satin finish, accentuated by pierced brass bands at the top and bottom. Both the body and lid are perforated with regularly spaced round holes, allowing light to diffuse gently while ensuring optimal ventilation. The piece stands on four short, cylindrical legs in matching brass, uniting the design materially and chromatically. Its overall form is low and rounded, with an industrial yet playfully softened character typical for the 1970s. The surface is mainly smooth, with subtly intentional hammering on brass elements and a gentle vintage patina on the copper. The interior houses a fitting for a single tealight candle. The condition is very good, with only minor age-appropriate traces of use visible. This object carries the spirit of a decade fascinated by discovery and material innovation, echoing the optimism and forward-looking curiosity of the early space age. Its soft shape and rhythmic perforations speak in the visual vocabulary of the era: where practical function embraces decorative freedom, and the candle's glow escapes through
