Art object “Gateway to Light” – Spiritual tealight holder with the magic of Avalon - Item No.: TKH007

The gate arrives securely packaged in recycled cushioning material, measuring 17x13x14cm and weighing 1.9kg.

Illuminate your room with the mystical whisper of English myths – the "Gateway to Light" tealight holder is more than just an object. It is a portal to Avalon, the mysterious island of legends, and a tribute to Glastonbury Tor, that sacred hill which rises to heaven like a spiral staircase.

Shaped from antique-fired clay and finished with traditional smoke-firing techniques, this unique piece embodies the very essence of fire: rough textures, subtle blackening, and a rustic ambiance that transforms any space into a place of contemplation. The primitive art form of the spiral symbolizes the soul's journey – up to the light, down to the depths of the earth, always in the flow of becoming and passing away.

Place a tea light in the "Gateway to Light" and watch as the flame brings the spiraling clay staircase to life. The shadows dance on the walls, as if telling stories of Avalon, of veils of mist, and the wisdom of ancient druids. Whether on the altar, in the meditation room, or as spiritual decor in the living room – this art object is a silent companion that blurs the boundaries between worlds.

Each piece is shaped by hand, each spiral uniquely wound. The natural asymmetries, fine cracks, and traces of ash make it an absolute one-of-a-kind – a testament to the transience and eternal beauty of handcrafted art.

✨ A gate that bestows light. A staircase that carries souls. ✨

Handmade with Sacred Intention
Each of my pieces is lovingly handcrafted and ritually transformed in fire. The "traces" of the firing – cracks, ash contours, uneven surfaces – are not flaws, but rather evidence of a process that demands self-respect and respect for the material.

I am happy to implement commissioned work or my own ideas for a specific piece of work, provided it is compatible with my way of working.
Feel free to contact me about this.
