This handcrafted totem-shaped candleholder is made from deep black clay and finished using the ancient milk firing technique. During firing, the milk bonds with the surface of the clay, creating an organic seal and giving the piece a rich, dark finish with subtle brown undertones that shimmer gently in the light.
The surface is left unglazed and sealed with natural carnauba wax, preserving the raw texture while adding a soft, protective sheen. Symbolic and grounded, this totem form holds a quiet strength — earthy, sculptural, and full of presence.
Each piece is unique. No glaze. Just fire, clay, and intention.
