Product Description
Kahler Urbania Pantheon Candle House | White Glazed Ceramic Tealight Holder | 7.9 Inches Tall
- Architecture Alive in Ceramics: Bache & Bendix Becker's Urbania series captures landmark buildings in ceramic candle houses shaped by hand. The Pantheon draws its form from one of Rome's best-preserved ancient structures, its vertical rows of arched openings hand-pricked and built to cast warm light through every arch.
- Form Shaped by Hand: The Pantheon takes the shape of a tall, upright column, its white-glazed body running with narrow vertical channels between rounded arch-shaped openings. The glaze sits smooth and uniform across the surface, lending a clean, composed quality that holds its own in a modern shelf display or by candlelight.
- Versatile Display Size: Standing 7.9 inches tall and 3.7 inches wide, the Pantheon works equally well as a standalone piece or as part of a grouped Urbania display. To keep it at its best, simply wipe with a damp cloth and avoid the dishwasher, so the smooth glaze and fine surface details remain intact.
- The Tealight Effect: Place a standard tealight inside and the Pantheon's arch-shaped windows become small portals of warm light, casting shifting shadows across any surface. The white glaze, calm in daylight, takes on new depth after dark as the light within works through every opening, changing the piece with the hour.
- Kahler Branded Gift Box: The Pantheon arrives in a Kahler branded gift box, ready to give without extra wrapping. The Urbania series spans a wide range of architectural forms, making it easy to give a single piece or build a growing display. A natural choice for a housewarming, a seasonal occasion, or a ceramics enthusiast.
The Urbania Tea Light collection from Danish design icon, Kahler, comprises tea light holders handmade into the shapes of various urban buildings (in this case, the Pantheon). The candleholders are purchased individually, and may be combined into beautiful small cityscapes (see variations shown above). Each is handcrafted from Dolomite Ceramic. The deep white structures take their natural color from the clay that has simply been refined with a transparent glaze. The contemporary design of these tea light holders is born from collaboration between celebrated Danish designers Mette Bache and Barbara Bendix Becker. The Urbania series also includes three larger coordinating lanterns designed for regular candles (search for "Urbania Candle House"). It is Kahler's mission to create accessible art for the people. Now a leading Scandinavian design brand, their roots go back to 1839 as a small Danish pottery producer. For more than 175 years, their tradition has been to collaborate with significant artists to provide distinctive and contemporary collections. Kahler is firmly established as part of Danish cultural heritage, and they strive to preserve history and traditions in each handmade design. Only use tea lights in foil cups. Always place the tea light in the center of the Tea Light House. Always place the Tea Light House on a non-flammable surface. Do not touch or move the Tea Light House when the tea light is lit, as it may be very hot. Only use tea lights that burn for up to 4 hours. Never cover the Tea Light House when the tea light is lit. Width: 95mm (3.7 In.) Height: 200mm (7.9 In.)
