Vintage Ardco Dallas Elephant Candle Holder, Mid Century Ceramic Animal Decor
This charming vintage elephant candle holder was produced by Ardco (Ardalt Ceramics) and features the beloved “Dallas” elephant design. With its rounded form, textured glaze, and raised decorative motifs, this piece has wonderful character and a distinctly mid-century feel.
The elephant’s sculptural body includes a recessed opening at the top, designed to hold a taper candle, though it also displays beautifully as a standalone decorative figurine. The earthy glaze palette and playful detailing make it a perfect accent for shelves, mantels, or curated animal collections.
A delightful example of vintage ceramic animal décor with both whimsy and collectible appeal.
