Ceramic Tree Light with base

Handmade by Lava Ceramics, and sculpted by hand, these trees look pretty during the day but really come alive at night when you light the fire underneath.  The light illuminates the tree and flickers through the holes.  

Be careful as the tree can get hot! Battery tealight candles are great for these, but we do supply a tealight candle to get started with.

Each piece is finished with a lovely glossy glaze, and presented in a sturdy gift box with instructions for use. Approx 12cm tall.

Lava Ceramics is a small pottery studio based in Lyttelton, Christchurch.

Artist statement:

I'm Cari (Caroline) Quinn and I’m the muddy hands behind Lava Ceramics.

As long as I can remember I’ve been happiest while I’m being creative. It took me until my 40’s to discover clay. Once I did, there was no going back…It began when I started sculpting my own rescue dog, then our rabbit, then I started on the dogs in the neighbourhood. Now I have created an enormous dog pack, and badgers, cats, sharks, mice, chickens, birds and so much more…..
My background is in architecture and you may see elements of that in my more practical items. My main inspiration is from nature and living creatures. In particular, their cheeky characters.

These items are limited edition, and handmade in Christchurch
