A wonderfully sculptural vintage Italian ceramic camel taper candle holder, finished in a rich glossy ochre/mustard glaze.

The seated pack camel is modeled with raised saddle bags, harness and facial details, with a candle cup incorporated into the top of the saddle/hump area for a standard taper candle.

The warm ochre glaze and expressive form give the piece wonderful decorative presence on a mantel, console, bookshelf or table.

PROVENANCE

From my family’s multi-generational design collection. This piece belonged to my grandmother, who operated a design store in Montgomery, Alabama during the mid-20th century, and was subsequently preserved in my mother’s collection.

An unusual and highly decorative piece of vintage Italian figural ceramic, equally appealing displayed as a candle holder or as a sculptural object.
