Who doesn’t want a rabbit as a candle holder! I mean, would look just as cool on a mantlepiece as they will on a dinner table year round. I mean, I’m biased of course, but they are adorable. Each is handmade so unique in their character, design and size..
These candle holders might need a bit of wax dripped in to the hole to make them sturdy and are available in three sizes - the largest is for the usual dinner sized candles, the smaller ones are for a pencil/thin sized candle and ultra thin-taper sizes.
Dinner candle size - £28
Pencil candle size - £18
Ultra thin taper candle size - £15
Candles not included!
Pencil/thin candles
- We get asked about taper/thin/pencil candles the whole time and they are available from a number of places, but we like these ones and they come in a variety of colours too https://amzn.eu/d/4SOqeiN
Ultra thin taper candles
- The ultra thin ones again can be bought in many places, but here are the cream ones I use/like https://amzn.eu/d/0sVQZtH

Getting your perfect piece to you is our priority but as each piece is made to order (we don't hold any pieces in stock), the process takes a MINIMUM OF FOUR WEEKS although this is just a guide and if it goes over please bear with us, if it goes under let's celebrate!

Our china looks and feels very (very) different to mass-produced pottery; it’s not fine or delicate, but wonderfully chunky and full of texture, you’ll see thumb prints, makers marks, glaze specks/drips and heaps of individuality. We call it perfectly imperfect pottery and firmly believe it’s all the better for it!
Please note that because each piece is unique the design will be different from the one in the picture – similar but unique.
Marigold and Lettice pottery is (hand)made to be loved and used, and happily goes in the oven, dishwasher and microwave.

Marigold and Lettice pottery is made to be used, loved and enjoyed; it’s made using sturdy earthenware clay and a thick white glaze. This means it’s hard-wearing and every piece can safely go in the oven, dishwasher, microwave and even the freezer.
Each piece that is made by Marigold and Lettice is totally handmade and a one-off. So, if you see thumb prints in the clay or the glaze that may be thicker in some parts than others, it's because each piece is unique and is what gives our chunky china its specialness, and a different look and feel to mass-produced pottery.
When you first get your chunky china piece you may hear a ‘ping’ - especially the first time the pottery meets with water. If you do, please don’t worry, it's really quite normal and will stop as soon as the glaze/clay settles down together. You may also notice that the bottom of every piece is left unglazed, and this may leave a slight residue on your shelves, but can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth.
Like with all china, over time you may also notice signs of use in the glaze, but these are just signs of the china being well-loved. If this is the case, please be assured, the piece will still be perfectly fine to use.
