Bozner Engel (6) - Vintage - Ceramic - 1960-1970 - THUN Bolzano

Set of 6 original Bozen candle holders, handmade in the late 1960s. The THUN studio in the town of Bolzano in the Italian South Tyrol was founded in 1950 by Otmar Graf von Thun und Hohenstein and Hélène Grabmeyer von Angersheim. Both had a passion for ceramics from a young age. From their first workshop in the basement of Schloss Klebenstein, Lene Thun designed all sorts of objects, such as vases, cookware and animal figurines. One evening she designed an angel that she painted in bright colours and finished with gold details. This dreamy figure with closed eyes and a lightly bent neck became an unprecedented success. Probably because the Bozen Angel’s look suggests a blessed world. Each figurine is hand-painted in warm matte tones with gilded details and belongs to the early Thun production. This set of collector items consists of: 4 angels, height 16 cm, base Ø 12 cm: - 1 x green/pink; - 1 x beige/gold; - 1 x white/pink/gold; - 1 x red/green/gold; and 2 angels, height 22 cm, base Ø 15 cm: - 1 x white/pink/gold; - 1 x red/green/gold. These candle holders bring festivity and coziness to any home. All figurines are in good vintage condition for their age. No chips, no cracks. The photos are part of the condition and description. Your purchase will be carefully packaged and insured for shipping.
