each rachael wild ceramic candle holder is a one-of-a-kind piece, carefully handmade and hand-painted in south africa by a skilled, community-led ceramic studio in kwazulu-natal.
crafted using sustainable materials and eco-friendly paints, every handmade candle holder features subtle variations in shape and colour, making each piece completely unique. at the heart of every design is an endangered african animal, such as the pangolin or african wild dog, celebrating their beauty while raising awareness for their conservation.
the base measures approximately 5–6cm wide, with thepangolin candle holder standing around 7cm tall and wild dog candle holders up to 10cm tall.
designed to fit standard dinner candles, these ceramic holders are both beautiful and functional, adding a meaningful touch to dining tables, shelves, or bedside spaces. they also make thoughtful gifts for wildlife lovers, conservation supporters, and collectors of handmade ceramics.
every purchase helps support local artisansand contributes to ongoing efforts to protect endangered wildlife, including the pangolin through the african pangolin working group.
no two pieces are ever identical — and that is part of their charm. each ceramic sculpture is individually shaped and painted, meaning the animal’s pose, colour tones, and expression may vary slightly. this ensures that the piece you receive is truly one of a kind.
