Pink Frill Teddy Vase & Candlestick by Anna Barlow

A playful celebration in porcelain.

The Pink Frill Teddy Vase and Candlestick by Anna Barlow transforms the familiar silhouette of an ice cream cone into a wonderfully eccentric piece of functional ceramic art. Handcrafted in London from Parian porcelain and finished with delicate glazed details, this sculptural piece combines the charm of a small vase with the function of a candlestick.

Recognised for her highly distinctive ceramic interpretations of sweet treats, Anna Barlow brings together humour, craftsmanship and extraordinary attention to detail. Here, the elongated cone, melting pink frills and soft biscuit tones create an object that feels part confectionery, part sculpture and part decorative vessel.

Designed to be enjoyed in different ways, the piece can be styled with a small bouquet of flowers, a candle, or simply displayed as a collectible ceramic sculpture. Its unusual dual function makes it equally at home on a dining table, mantelpiece, bedside table or carefully curated shelf.

The tactile layers of pink ceramic evoke piped icing and melting syrup of ice cream, while the refined porcelain construction elevates the playful subject into a sophisticated piece of contemporary design. It is precisely this tension between nostalgia and irreverence, functionality and sculpture that gives Barlow's work its distinctive appeal.

A charming choice for collectors of contemporary ceramics, British ceramic art and sculptural home accessories, the Pink Frill Teddy Vase & Candlestick makes an original gift or statement piece for eclectic, modern and art-led interiors.

Think Marie Antoinette's garden tea party with a distinctly contemporary twist.

Anna Barlow is a British ceramic artist internationally recognised for her highly realistic sculptures inspired by ice cream, cakes and other sweet treats. Using ceramics to explore fantasy, nostalgia and storytelling, Barlow creates objects that playfully blur the boundaries between food and fine art.

Over more than a decade of practice, she has developed a distinctive visual language combining traditional ceramic techniques with her own innovative approaches. Her extraordinary attention to texture, colour and detail gives her sculptures an almost edible realism — artworks that invite the viewer to look twice and, almost, taste them.
