This candlestick holder is made by hand from a slab of stoneware clay. It is shaped like a bird and is 6 1/2 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide at the back of the tail, and stands just under 5 inches tall.
The tip of the tail, wings, beak and candle cup are glazed in a shiny greeny gold color and there are dots and lines for eyes, some feathers and texture on the trunk of the holder ( this is supposed to be a tree trunk the bird is sitting on ) The rest of the candlestick holder is unglazed and the brown color of the clay.
It has a solid sturdy feel, weighs almost 1 full pound.
