Ascott Candlestick Holders by Timo Sarpaneva
This set of Ascott candleholders by Finnish designer Timo Sarpaneva for Iittala (1960s) is basically a masterclass in structural elegance. The fluted solid crystal stems rise to support wide, flared cups. A design that somehow manages to look substantial and weightless at the same time.
When lit, the stems creates an incredible glow. Easily elevating a simple Tuesday night dinner into an actual moment. These pieces perfectly capture the magic of Mid-Century Scandinavian design by effortlessly turning utility into art.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
