 опішненського гончаря. Candlesticks have been around for a long time, but in modern life they are
 no longer used for their intended purpose. Traditional clay candlestick is not
 only a handy place for a candle. It also performs a decorative function.
 This studio characterized candlesticks, which were produced by Opishne’s
 potter Mykhailo Kytrysh. Analysis was carried out on the basis of a personal
 collection of the potter at the National Museum of Ukrainian Ceramics in
 Opishne and private collection of the master, which is stored in his home.
 Mykhailo Kytrysh produced clay candlesticks constantly. But information
 about this was very rare in published literature. The first information about
 his candlesticks was published in the publication in 1999. Catalogs of exhibitions,
 which actively participated in the potter from 1970, became a separate
 source, which includes candlesticks by Mykhailo Kytrysh.
 Mykhailo Kytrysh’s works have their own characteristic features. They are
 different in both decorative and formative elements.
 The candlesticks of Mykhailo Kytrysh are obligatory and have a container
 for a candles and a saucers for draining wax. The number of candles varied
 from one to nine. This element is often combined with decorative elements
 in the form of animals and devils. Often they are decorated with colored glazes.
 Dark glazes used rarely.
 The period of the production of candlesticks by Mykhailo Kytrysh is dated
 1972-2010. Almost all of them are fully attributed.
 The oldest candlestick, on which the ritual is marked with the year of manufacture,
 is dated 1989 and is kept in the private collection of Mykhailo Kytrysh.
 Candlesticks of large size (up to one meter in diameter) potter made since
 1997, when he became a participant of the First Regional Symposium “Pottery
 Train on Maidens and Parks of Ukraine” in Opishne.
 Kytrysh’s candlesticks were a rarity at the exhibitions. They often presented
 sculptural dishes, vases for the dishes and plates.
