METALLIC CANDLE HOLDER
Anna Karountzou’s most recent experimentation with clay brings to life the sculptural Metallic Candle Holder. A striking blend of Gothic and industrial aesthetics, this candle holder is crafted from stoneware clay and adorned with a unique, homemade metallic glaze. High-fired at 1240°C, the result is a captivating interplay of textures and finishes, where clay takes on a mesmerising metallic sheen.
Athens-based ceramicist Anna Karountzou blends raw elegance with traditional craftsmanship. With a background in the conservation of artworks and antiquities, Anna brings an understanding of materials to moulding and handling clay. With absolute discipline and focus on detail, she creates her own glazes favouring the tactile and functional aspects of the craft. Her one-of-a-kind, hand-thrown pieces draw inspiration from places she feels connected to, and pay homage to the natural world with a contemporary feel.
Inspired by nature, Anna is obsessed with the marks of time, evidently present in the essence of corrosion that her ceramics exude, seeking the nostalgia of the old. Formed by traditional hand-building techniques such as the coiling method, her works are each made by hand, and constitute entirely bespoke pieces where no one is the same. All pots have been fired at a high temperature to ensure their durability.
Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book.

Glazed ceramics may be able to withstand being put through the dishwasher, though to maintain their original state and ensure longevity handwashing is highly recommended.
To remove melted wax from your candle holder, we recommend the technique of gently placing a napkin over the area and using a hairdryer on a low heat setting to soften the wax. Avoid using high heat in order to protect the holder’s material. Once softened, the napkin will absorb the wax. Repeat as needed.
