This Julleuchter model is about 15 cm high and similar to Julleuchter housed in the Nordic Museum which has a height of 15 cm and a base of 8.2 cm squared. Absolutely handcrafted and made of natural ceramic. The candle-holder has an incised  heart shape  and below a six-spoked opening. This artefact was described in 1888 in the magazine of the Swedish literary club Runa (founded by  Johan August Strindberg ), which compared the six-spoked window in its base with the shape of the  medieval   h -rune ; the 1888 article attributed a 16th-century date to the object (the earliest date of the introduction of candles to Scandinavian households).
