pangolin candle holder

each rachael wild pangolin candle holder is a one-of-a-kind piece, carefully handmade and hand-painted in south africa by a skilled, community-driven ceramic studio.

crafted from sustainably sourced clay and finished with eco-friendly glazes, every candle holder is individually sculpted and painted by hand. no moulds are used, ensuring each pangolin has its own unique scales, character and expression.

standing approximately 7cm tall with a base measuring 5–6cm wide, this ceramic candle holder is designed to fit a standard dinner candle. whether styled on a dining table, shelf or bedside table, it adds a meaningful connection to africa's wildlife while bringing warmth and character to your home.

inspired by one of the world's most trafficked mammals, each pangolin candle holder celebrates the quiet beauty and resilience of this remarkable species while helping raise awareness for its conservation.

every purchase supports local artisans, with 5% of every sale donated to the african pangolin working group to help protect pangolins and the habitats they call home.

because every piece is handmade, no two candle holders are ever identical. slight variations in shape, scales and colour are part of what makes each sculpture truly unique.
