Candle Holder

An inflated balloon, heavy yet light, stands as the playful base — crowned with a small glazed cup painted in gentle black. A candle turns this whimsical form into a glowing celebration, where fragility meets delight.

Hand-crafted ceramic with textured “balloon” base and glazed cup detail, 2023.

Lea Khoshtikian’s Baboom Creation reimagines the fleeting joy of balloons as lasting sculptures. Here, the balloon is transformed into a functional candle holder — a reminder that even the simplest objects of childhood wonder can become timeless art.

To acquire this piece is to bring a spark of playfulness into your collection. Each balloon form is unique, hand-shaped, and impossible to repeat — making this candle holder not just a vessel for light, but a collectible sculpture that keeps joy alive. It can be collected on its own, or paired with additional candle holders from the same family to form a whimsical ensemble.
