đŻď¸ Meet your new conversation-starter, direct from the sun-soaked workshops of Portugal!
This hand-painted ceramic candle holder is a whimsical nod to the baroque era and a fresh pop of color for any corner of your home or office.
Signed at the back - â568 FILCER - MADE IN PORTUGAL - HAND PAINTED -SEC. XVII - S.â
Our piece wears âSec. XVIIâ not as a birthdate but as a salute to 17th-century Portuguese faiançaâthink exuberant scrollwork, lattice motifs and polychrome glazes straight out of a 1600s convent or palace.
And âFilcerâ? Thatâs the makerâs mark (likely short for Fabricação Industrial de Cerâmica), not a dusty family heirloom. This is a modern creation from around 1980s, lovingly hand-painted in vibrant earth tones and royal blues by artisans who keep those centuries-old techniques alive.
đ
Standing approximately 22 cm (8½ in) tall with a 12 cm Ă 12 cm (4ž in Ă 4ž in) footprint, itâs perfectly proportioned for taper or dinner candles up to 2.8 cm (1â
in) in diameter. It feels wonderfully solid in the hand, yet its airy cut-outs let candlelight dance through every painted panel.
âď¸ This beauty is in good vintage conditionâno cracks or chipsâbut it does show a network of fine crazing and a few dark stains inside from past candlelit evenings. Those little marks of use only deepen its story and charm.
Imagine it gracing your dining table, a single white taper flickering through its quatrefoil windows. Or give your home office a boost of joie de vivre on your desk, candlelight reflecting off each hand-brushed swirl. On a balcony at sunset, itâs a jewel among potted geraniums and trailing ivy. Pair it with a cluster of mixed florals in a shallow tray beneath, and youâve got an instant boho-chic vignette.
Whether youâre gifting a candle-lover friend or treating yourself to a slice of artisanal Portugal, this colorful ceramic lantern brings warmth, history and a playful touch wherever it shines.
