# Overflowing Porcelain Candles Vesuvius From Ted Muehling Mimics an Exploding Volcano By Cowbag | Published 2009-06-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overflowing-porcelain-candles-vesuvius-from-ted-muehling References: [mossonline](http://www.mossonline.com/product-exec/product_id/39742) These amazing [drip effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infra-luna-20) [porcelain candle sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candl-stacks), available from Moss, are lush. I love the detail that goes into a perfect recreation of the way wax would fall down a more [traditional candle holder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-mater). The design is called Vesuvius, and they come from German artist Ted Muehling and are scarily expensive starting at $300 for the little one, which stands just over two inches tall. At that price I am more than tempted to stick with the original wax, rather than recreate it in porcelain. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Porcelain Candlesticks:** Advancements in porcelain manufacturing and design will continue to drive growth in the luxury home decor industry. - **Recreating Natural Textures:** Innovation in materials and production techniques will enable more accurate and affordable replication of natural textures in home decor items. - **Luxury Home Decor:** The market for high-end home decor items will continue to expand as consumers increasingly prioritize creating unique and personalized living spaces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Home Decor:** Manufacturers of high-end home decor items, like candlesticks, will benefit from consumers' willingness to invest in creating unique living spaces. - **Porcelain Manufacturing:** Advancements in porcelain manufacturing and design will create new opportunities for companies to offer high-end products in various industries including home decor and tableware. - **Retail:** As the market for luxury home decor continues to grow, retailers will need to offer unique and high-quality products to stand out among competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md) - [Unusual Limited-Edition Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bloom-candle.md) - [Exquisite Time Lapse Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xl-porcelain-candles.md) - [Interestingly Shaped Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poise-candle-holder.md) - [Luxe Refillable Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/les-mondes-de-diptyque.md) - [Beeswax Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greentree.md) - [Limited-Edition Artistic Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michle-lamy.md) - [Architectural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-candle-holder.md) - [Naturally Inspired Digital Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magma-lamp.md)
