Samak Hand-Painted Fayoum Pottery Candle Holder

The Samak Fish Candle Holder is what happens when a design team and master potters decide to have a little fun together. Conceived exclusively by ANUT Cairo and brought to life in Fayoum — one of Egypt's oldest and most celebrated pottery villages — it's a candlestick with a fish as its body, bold enough to be a statement piece and charming enough to make you smile every time you light it. Fayoum's pottery tradition stretches back thousands of years, and the Samak is a direct product of Anūt Cairo's ongoing collaboration with its artisans — experimenting, designing, and pushing the craft into new territory while keeping it rooted in the village where it belongs. A fun, unexpected gift. A conversation starter. A genuinely unique handmade candle holder that you won't find anywhere else.
