Sculptural Candle Holder Koe by Merve Öztemel

A distinctive handmade ceramic artwork by Turkish artist Merve Öztemel, combining functional design with expressive contemporary sculpture. The softly rounded vessel is finished in a natural skin-toned glaze and features a three-dimensional mouth with glossy, hand-sculpted lips and visible teeth.

Entirely handmade and individually glazed, each candle holder is unique, with subtle variations that reflect the artist’s process. Whether styled with a taper candle or displayed as a sculptural object, it serves as a distinctive statement piece for modern interiors.

Each piece is individually formed, painted and glazed by hand. Subtle variations in colour, texture, shape and finish are therefore part of the artwork and make every creation unique.
