Candlestick "Snowlight"

---

[Kimuraya x UNGA↑] We commissioned "Kimuraya," based in Otaru, which creates pottery with simple shapes and soft colors, to produce a limited-edition candlestick "Yukialari" for UNGA↑. Like the "snow lights" that create the winter scenery of Otaru, this beautiful hand-held candlestick creates a soft glow. * Size: S, Color: Blue The color options are black, white, and blue. These candlesticks retain the texture of the clay while being glazed, and their warm, handcrafted appearance is their charm. This one is black. This one is white. This one is blue. Because it has a base, it can also be used as a stand for accessories such as rings and necklaces, or as a display stand for small items. This will be delivered to you in this original box. Like the quietly twinkling "snow lights," this hand-held candle stand shines beautifully in the warm light. It's also recommended as a gift.

The muted and gentle earth tones, and the weathered iron texture that seems to capture the passage of time. We create a wide range of expressive works, from well-designed products to unique, one-of-a-kind objects. After starting out making glassblowing products at a workshop in Ibaraki Prefecture, I moved to Yoichi after the Great East Japan Earthquake. In 2011, she changed the material she worked with from glass to ceramic, and currently, she has an atelier in Otaru and is active as "Kimuraya."
