A dark, dramatic candle sconce from Lily Pearmain, handmade in red stoneware and finished in a rich iron glaze that catches the light in flecks of bronze and black. The tall back is carved with deep vertical grooves, and a scooped dish at the base holds a tapered cup for a dinner candle, so the whole thing frames the flame and throws a lovely glow up the wall behind it. There’s a notch cut into the back to hang it. It’s a simple, sculptural thing, and it earns its place on a wall whether it’s lit or not.
