Fy-shan Glass Studio Ottoman Silhouette Blown Glass Candle Holder
This blown glass candle holder mimics the silhouette of a Turkish candlestick (mid-16th century) in The Met collection. The legendary Iznik kilns produced extraordinary ceramics that often derived both their motifs and shape from Chinese modes of decoration, but the blue-and-white candlestick in the Museum's holdings echoes a metal prototype and boasts a distinctly Ottoman design.
From playful decorative objects to jewel-toned decanters and dazzling pieces of glass-ornamented furniture, Istanbul-based Fy-shan Glass Studio fuses fine art and practical design with finesse. Led by esteemed Turkish glass artist Felek?an Onar, Fy-shan Glass Studio produces limited-edition decor that's simultaneously distinctive and timeless.
This item was created for the Heirloom Project, led by designer Madeline Weinrib. The initiative celebrates the 10th anniversary of The Met's reimagined Islamic Wing by seeking engagement with global artisans who pursue historic techniques and design principles. The Heirloom Project commemorates The Met's Islamic art collection, supports the Museum, and endeavors to preserve traditional craftsmanship.
