Pentik ‘Kaamoskukka’ Candle Holder in Brown/Moss-Green - Finland, 1970s
Couldn't load pickup availability
A hand-crafted stoneware candle holder from Pentik’s legendary Kaamoskukka series – one of the very first studio ranges created by Anu Pentik in the early 1970s in Posio, Lapland. No two are alike: each piece is one of a kind, formed by hand and glazed in earthy tones that echo the Nordic landscape.
This one has a deep, glossy brown glaze with moss-green undertones and small flashes of blue that shimmer through the darker tones - almost like northern lights caught in clay. The form is bold and expressive, shaped entirely by hand with five candle openings and wide petal-like edges. The base carries Pentik’s early logo.
Place it on a dining table, sideboard or windowsill. It brings warmth and mood whether you use candles or simply enjoy it as a small ceramic artwork.

ABOUT EARLY PENTIK CANDLE HOLDERS
These candle holders are original studio pieces from the 1970s, made by hand in Pentik’s Posio workshop — not contemporary reissues. Because each one was shaped individually, the candle holes vary slightly, and sometimes the candle may need a small wrap of foil for support. For the best fit, we recommend Pentik’s Kaamos candles, originally designed for these holders and now back in production in Posio. They also work beautifully simply as objects — the organic forms and glazes make them easy to enjoy even without candles.
