Mid-1990s - Laurie Gates Hand Painted Extra Large Candle Holder

A fabulous and vibrant hand-painted extra large candle holder by Laurie Gates. This is from the mid-1990s. This is really a fun piece with a jet black shiny background, hand-painted green and yellow flowers on one side and deep green fern and leaves on the other side. The upper rim is hand-painted with a super fun leopard print. I noticed the inside is completely hollow but glazed, so… I turned it over and voilà it creates a fabulous vase as well. So this is two for one!
