Sphinx Candle Holder by Charlotte Salt - White
The Sphinx Candle Holder with white glaze is a sculptural ceramic piece by Charlotte Salt, hand built in red stoneware and decorated with slip, tin glaze, and oxides. Characterised by symbolic detail and expressive surface treatment, the work sits within Salt’s broader practice exploring myth, memory, and form.
Salt draws inspiration from a wide range of visual and literary sources—including William Blake, John Milton, Picasso’s ceramics, and early European tapestries. Her pieces carry a quiet theatricality, often recalling celestial or mythological imagery through their layered surfaces and rhythmic mark-making.
Working from her studio in North Yorkshire and as part of the AHH Studio Collective, Salt uses traditional hand building techniques such as coiling, pinching, and slab construction. Her ceramic process embraces the natural imperfections of making, with brushstrokes, textures, and traces left visible—offering each work as a raw, expressive reflection of time, material, and personal history.
