Borosilicate Mouth-blown in Slovenia in 20-piece batches.
Included: brush, 7 X 6″ long church candles, 4 X lighting tightens, wooden gift box.
German Design Award 2021 – special mention.
The timepiece lets the user adjust the amount of water that goes into the holder to determine when the flame will go out. As the candle reduces its base rises upwards to where a restriction in the glass ends, and the candle falls over onto its side, extinguishing itself in the water. We are taught by the Bauhaus that “less is more.” Here, for more burn time, add less water.
The candleholder is shaped from the highest quality Italian borosilicate glass. They are individually mouth-blown and formed by a highly skilled craftsman on a lathe using the same techniques that are used to make chemistry equipment.
The dancing flame is said to be the tail of a goldfish in its bowl, according to some.
‘An impressively simple, physical principle translated into a beautiful, decorative object.’
