Fyodor Tower -
Bisque Candle Holder
Inspired by one of the onion dome towers of the cathedral
commissioned by Ivan IV, (Ivan the Terrible) in 1555. Standing in Red
Square and known today as St. Basil's Cathedral, it is also known as the "Cathedral of Intercession of the Virgin on the Moat", the "Cathedral of the
Protection of the Mother of God", or simply as "Pokrovskiy Cathedral".
In 1588, Tsar Fedor Ivanovich added a chapel to the eastern side above the
grave of the cathedral's namesake, Basil Fool for Christ, a Russian Orthodox
saint. The pure white, slightly rough texture of unglazed bisque
porcelain gives the model an ethereal glow when a tea candle is placed
inside. An ideal gift for an architecture enthusiast or world traveler.
