Pink Frill Vase - Candlestick by Anna Barlow

A unquei celebration in porcelain.

The Pink Frill 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 two ice cream coups cone, pink icing 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 or melting icing, while the refined porcelain construction elevates the playful subject into a sophisticated piece of contemporary art. 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 Vase and Candlestick makes a original and unique gift or statement piece for eclectic, modern and art-led interiors.

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