A beautiful studio art candle holder, part of the figural series of
candlesticks designed by Bjorn Wiinblad in the early 1970s. The candle
holder has a dual function as it can also be used as a vase. The candle
holder has a wonderful blue colouring and fantastic detailing. This
is one of his rare art studio pieces that was produced in the 1970's
and shows Wiinblad at his best. This piece is stamped to the base and
is in very good vintage condition. There is one very small chip to the
base.
Bjorn Wiinblad, born in 1919, he started working for Rosenthal in 1957
and has won many prestigious awards. Wiinblad recently passed away in
June 2006, his pieces are highly collectible. Wiinblad's designs exemplify
Danish charm and wit. His ceramic figurines, plates, bowls, vases and
candlesticks show stylistic characters.
