Blue Laurel Pots

Blue & White Ceramic Casserole Candle – Hand-Painted Vintage Pottery

This charming ceramic casserole dish, hand-painted in rich cobalt blue on crisp white glaze, captures the timeless appeal of traditional blue-and-white pottery—a decorative style beloved across cultures for centuries. From Chinese export porcelain to Delftware in the Netherlands and early American ceramics, blue-and-white ware has long been celebrated for its balance of artistry, utility, and enduring beauty.

The vessel’s geometric leaf motif, braided handles, and matching lid speak to the handcrafted traditions of mid-20th century studio pottery, when artisans increasingly embraced functional ceramics as a form of expressive, everyday art. These pieces were often made in small batches, with each brushstroke revealing the maker’s hand and intention.

Now thoughtfully repurposed as a candle, this petite “stockpot” brings warmth and character to any space. Each holds 6 oz of natural soy wax and is double-wicked for an even, glowing burn. The detachable lid adds a touch of playfulness and also protects the wax when not in use—making it a delightful object both before and after burning.

Dimensions:

• Height (with lid): Approx. 3"

• Width (with handles): Approx. 5.5"

Scent: Banana Nut Bread

• Top Notes: Banana, Lemon Peel, Walnut
• Middle Notes: Sugar, Nutmeg
• Base Notes: Tonka Bean, Butter, Vanilla

This one-of-a-kind candle blends artisanal pottery with a warm, comforting fragrance that feels both cozy and nostalgic. Once the wax has burned down, the vessel can be returned to its original purpose—serving, storing, or displaying—or simply admired as a charming piece of handcrafted ceramic history.

A true second life for a beautiful object.
