Oh, the holidays – we don’t know about you, but we can smell the turkey and dressing and many of us are already studying our Roseville Pottery collections to determine which pieces will grace our holiday meal tables. Candle holders are an absolute necessity around here. In fact, it’s not unusual to choose the tablecloth, dinner ware and yes, even salt and pepper shakers around the Roseville candle sticks. This year, at least at my table, I’ve decided to go full traditional. And that equates to choosing pieces from the Roseville Pottery Pine Cone collection.
If you’ve not seen the double candle holders that are part of the Roseville Pine Cone collection, you’re missing out. There is a set available now that’s in mint condition. They measure 5 inches in height and are 4 1/4 inches wide. Part of the beauty in these candlesticks is found in the double holders on each piece. The deep orange and brown combination, along with the pine cone in the middle of each candle holder are indicative of everything that represents Fall weather. The interior of the holders have a glossy blue finish. This would be lovely on any table, but they just seem especially fitting for Thanksgiving. Also, there are other pieces that are part of this collection that make fine centerpieces, too.
Have you considered Roseville Pottery Freesia as an option? This pattern offers up that deep blue which is a great choice for the holidays. It easily coordinates with other traditional fall colors and the the Freesia Blue candle holders have a nice height – 5 inches, as a matter of fact, that works well with a more formal table setting. The small double loop handles add to the overall beauty, too and the small yellow flowers that adorn the center and base of the holders are an ideal finishing touch.
Finally, there is a lovely set of Roseville Pottery Moss Blue candle holders available now. These aren’t easily located; indeed, this was a rare find. The lighter blue and green combinations are beautiful and the design elements, including a flared out center, will draw attention. Imagine a pair of navy blue taper candles in this set – the sky’s the limit and the colors and hues make it easy to incorporate nearly any color you choose.
These are just a few of our suggestions, of course, but if you do incorporate your Roseville Pottery into your holiday decor, we’d love to see photos!
