Sculptural Elegance Meets Ancient Glazing Tradition
These green ceramic candle holders transform candlelight into a captivating visual experience. Each multi-armed candelabra features the distinctive deep emerald glaze that has made Tamegroute pottery legendary for centuries. The sculptural branching design holds four taper candles, creating dramatic height and architectural interest on dining tables, mantels, or console displays. The signature oxidized patina—with bronze spots, sage variations, and cream exposed areas—ensures no two pieces are identical, making this set a true collector’s find for those who appreciate authentic handcrafted ceramic art.
The Ancient Art of Tamegroute’s Green Glaze
Crafted in the remote village of Tamegroute in southern Morocco, these candle holders showcase glazing techniques passed down through generations of pottery families. The legendary Tamegroute green glaze derives its distinctive color from copper oxide mixed with traditional mineral recipes closely guarded by local artisans. Each piece is hand-formed, then fired in wood-burning kilns where temperatures and atmospheric conditions create the characteristic drip patterns, crackling, and oxidation effects visible across the surface. The intentional aging process produces a weathered, verdigris-like patina reminiscent of oxidized copper, adding depth and visual complexity that mass-produced ceramics simply cannot replicate.
Design Versatility for Every Aesthetic
The organic, tree-like form of these candelabras complements bohemian, modern eclectic, and rustic interiors with equal sophistication. The forest green hue adds rich color warmth to neutral spaces while harmonizing beautifully with natural wood, brass accents, and textured textiles. Display them as a matching pair for symmetrical elegance on a dining table, or separate them to anchor different vignettes throughout your home. Even unlit, they function as sculptural art pieces that command attention and spark conversation about traditional Moroccan pottery craftsmanship.

Hand wash only; not dishwasher safe. The traditional firing method creates natural glaze variations, small surface irregularities, and the characteristic oxidized patina that makes each candelabra unique. Dimensions may vary by up to 10% due to the handmade nature. These intentional imperfections are marks of authentic artisan craftsmanship, not defects—they’re what distinguish genuine Tamegroute pottery from industrial reproductions.
