29,00 €

incl. VAT plus Shipping Costs

The Porta Candele Piccolo Dark Blue is a small glass candle holder, mouth blown from recycled glass by the glassblowers of La Soufflerie in Paris. With its narrow opening it holds a taper candle or a single stem as a bud vase. Part of The Blue Moon Collection.

Dimensions: approx. W 10 cm / H 12,5 cm, opening 2,5 – 3 cm
Capacity as a bud vase: 10 cl
Colour comes from pigments added in the furnace, not from paint, so it will not fade.
Do not let the flame touch the glass, and blow the candle out before it burns down to the holder.
Dishwasher resistant, but hand wash recommended to keep the glass clear and free of scratches.
The ribbon shown in the last image is not included with the product.

A note on handmade glass
Every piece by La Soufflerie is blown freehand from recycled glass, and it shows. Forms can be slightly uneven or lean a little to one side, and sizes may vary by 1 to 2 cm from piece to piece. Air bubbles, small dark specks, traces of the original recycled glass, tooling marks and the pontil mark on the base are part of the material and of the making. Colour and surface may vary in intensity and texture, so no two pieces are ever the same, and the item you receive will differ from the one in the photos. These are not flawless, factory smooth objects but honest, hand made glass with character.

La Soufflerie – Hand-blown recycled glass – Porta Candele Piccolo Dark Blue

La Soufflerie is a family run glass studio in Paris, founded in 2007 by Valentina and Sébastien Nobile to keep French glassblowing alive. Every object is made from mouth blown recycled glass, from drinking glasses and carafes to the small glass candle holder in deep blue. For The Blue Moon Collection, Volta brings again a selection of their pieces to Vienna.

La Soufflerie began as a non-profit association that returned its proceeds to the glassblowers, and its first pieces were vases for Parisian florists. Today the studio’s master glassblowers still shape each object on the blowpipe with traditional tools, using only recycled glass. Colour is added as pigment in the furnace rather than painted on, so it does not fade with use. Small bubbles and slight differences in form are part of the material and of French glassblowing as a centuries old craft. In 2022 La Soufflerie opened its own shop in the Latin Quarter of Paris. Within The Blue Moon Collection, each glass candle holder is one of a kind.
