English Delftware Candlestick 4 | Emily Mitchell

Emily's new Flora & Fauna slipware collection, which includes flower vases and wall sconces, is inspired by early English slip decoration and research into Jacobean embroidery and stump work motifs of the natural world.  

Each piece is handmade in terracotta and painted with layers of colored slip before being decorated with hundreds of slip dots to create raised flora and fauna patterns. Birds, hares, and stags run around the flower vases and over the wall sconces.

Elegant, hand-thrown candlesticks by Emily Mitchell. Hand-painted with cobalt oxide, with a white gloss glaze and white slip decoration, inspired by early delftware ceramics.

Emily is a ceramicist who produces hand-built and hand-thrown ceramics. Her contemporary approach takes inspiration from English Delftware, a popular ceramic style in the 17th and 18th centuries, which originated not far from Emily's Norwich studio. 

Each candlestick is unique through form and decoration.
