Jan de Graaf - Candleholder Hand-turned espresso-brown...

Jan de Graaf - Candlestick - Hand-turned espresso-brown glaze • well-signed • Netherlands • ca. 1970–1980 - Earthenware Hand-turned candlestick by Jan de Graaf in espresso-brown glaze with rusty brown speckles, well-signed in the clay. A wide candle dish extends like a plate from the narrow neck; the bell-shaped body bears the lathe ribs. The type originates from the seventies, when brown hand-turned pottery was in high demand. Very tactile: the hand follows the ribs. Description: A narrow neck for a slim candle, below it a drip dish with a raised edge and a bell-shaped body on a straight, unglazed foot ring. The turning ribs have been left visible and catch the light in the metallic glaze. Rust-brown spots break through the dark glaze, especially on the ribs and along the dish rim. The underside is rough and dark, with the signature in flowing handwriting. About the maker: Jan de Graaf (Heerde, 1948) was self-taught. He learned from Frans Slot, with whom he studied from 1968 to 1970 and whose lessons he later took over. After his military service he started a pottery in Heerde, later in Elburg and Dronten. As a fast thrower, he and his wife Hennie tapped into the demand for brown, coarsely ribbed workmanship. In the interior: Fits in a vintage, country or Japandi interior, on a wooden table or sideboard. With a candle in the neck, the dark glaze provides a warm accent. Condition: Good. Edge, dish, neck, body and foot: no flakes, hairline cracks or restorations observed. The glaze is matte to softly glossy; the rust spots and ribs are production-specific. Underside: unglazed, with light dust remnants. See the images. Offered as a decorative object, not intended for use with food.
