Pink Toned Natural Sea Fans mounted to hand-made Candlestick Plinths

Graham Chriscoe (candlestick bases)
North Carolina, USA; 1990

Approximate size:  24 (w) x 16 (h) x 3.5 (d) in. ea.

A pair of naturally harvested pink-toned sea fans mounted to a pair of hand-crafted glazed candlesticks made by the potter, Graham Chriscoe in 1990 (d. 2012).  Graham was one of several family artisan potters, now in their fifth generation.  The family’s original log cabin potter’s studio is preserved in the Smithsonian Museum.

This appropriated pair of candlesticks and accompanying sea fans would make the perfect addition to a feminine coastal themed room.
