Wood-Fired Candleholders, Set of 2 by Meghan Burke Studio

Two of a kind

Not every candle holder is born out of flames and ash, but these two were. Pittsburgh-based artist Meghan Burke shaped and pinched them by hand, then fired them in a local wood kiln. (It’s a painstaking process where teams of people must stoke the flames continuously over several days, but the results are well worth it.)

• Stoneware
• Finished in a wood-fired kiln
• Handmade in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

These pieces come courtesy of All Fired Up, a very special collection of handmade ceramics, only available at Food52. (They’re wood-fired, so some variation in color and texture is to be expected.) Browse the full All Fired Up collection.
