Wooden Owl Candle Taper Holder

This carved wooden owl was originally made to hang on the wall and hold candle tapers, but we think it might serve any number of purposes now aside from being just rather fabulous in its own right as an engaging decorative piece. We think he'd made a great gift. The only problem will be to give it to who? Givit-twoo!

No? Suit yourself.

The owl measures approximately 15cm (6in) tall and about 7.5cm (3in) front to back, with an internal space for storage about 3.5cm (1¹⁄³in) by 4.5cm (1¾in). He has a slight foot injury - a crack which at some point in the past has been re-glued and feels solid.

Sometimes we come across items for which words alone aren't enough and this is one of them. What can we say about it? Well, at the outset it's a set of carved wooden bottle stoppers with a stand. For some reason - answers on a carved wooden postcard, please - there are two dogs and an owl and each has orange glass eyes. Although it's difficult to age, we are led to believe it's possibly from the 1930s or 1940s. It's weird and wonderful and we really like it!

The owl measures 7.3cm high, the flat-eared dog 7.5cm, and the dog with pointed ears 9cm high (without cork stoppers). The stand is 6.5cm high, 12.5cm wide and 3cm thick.
