Crafted in Puebla, Mexico, this traditional candlestick comes from the master workshops of Talavera de la Luz. Carrying the prestigious Denominación de Origen DO4 certification, the workshop strictly adheres to centuries-old standards—from the selection of natural local clays to the formulation of their signature mineral-based pigments. Every fine stroke of cobalt blue, forest green, and ochre yellow is painted freehand using fine horsehair brushes before the piece is fired. Embracing this piece means bringing a registered slice of Mexican art history and centuries of protected heritage into your home.
