The Tall Candy-Cane Candlestick Built for a Little Drama.

Charmed House Interiors · Tabletop

• 3″ round × 7¾″ high

The taller of the peppermint pair, and the one that brings real height to the table. This hand-painted ceramic holder wears crisp red-and-white stripes down its turned, ball-detailed silhouette, finished in a glossy glaze that keeps it firmly charming rather than kitschy. Each one is painted by hand, so no two stripes fall exactly alike — the kind of small imperfection that makes a piece feel made rather than manufactured. Stand it beside its shorter twin and let the staggered heights do the styling.

"A little whimsy, done well, is the most generous kind of styling."

Two Ways to Style It

Paired with the shorter holder. Set the two together with red-and-white tapers for full candy-cane charm, staggered heights adding movement down a dessert or coffee table.

Solo on a mantel or console. Let its height stand tall among white ceramics and fresh greenery, the stripe popping against a calmer, snowy backdrop.
