Candlestick VI

5.25"x2.75"

This wheel-thrown candlestick pairs a sculptural, tiered form with softly expressive underglaze washes in blue, black, and green beneath a translucent white glaze. Each rounded step of the silhouette becomes a stage for shifting color—some bands breaking into vivid blue, others blending into shadowed tones that echo stone, water, or distant horizon lines. The white glaze mutes and unifies these layers, giving the surface a gentle luminosity while allowing the brushwork to subtly emerge. A warm clay edge at the base provides an earthy anchor to the otherwise airy palette. Balancing structure and fluidity, the piece feels both architectural and atmospheric, inviting candlelight to interact with its contours and softly painted surface.
