wild dog candle holder

each rachael wild wild dog 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 african wild dog has its own unique character, markings and expression.

standing approximately 10cm 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 africa's most endangered predators, each wild dog candle holder celebrates the beauty, resilience and spirit of the african wild dog 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 endangered wildlife and the habitats they call home.

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