Truly remarkable and utterly unique. Bring a little flair to your table or bar with these mythical candleholders from Puglia that can double as a flask.

The story behind these lovely white "Pupes" unfolds as follows ~In the 18th century Martina Franca, a winemaker, wanted to marry a young girl from Grottaglie. In feudal times, the region's lord used to spend the first night of marriage with the bride. This custom took the name of "jus prima noctis"  In order to thwart this horrid custom, the winemaker groom went to the lord's cabin dressed as the young bride, with the intent of killing him. In his haste to save his bride, Martina forgot to shave his mustache and was discovered. Since this time - some winemaker of Grottaglie have made their flasks and amphora in these costumed shapes. 

Each one is unique! These white candlestick holders in the shape of Pupa are a delight and add interest to any table setting or mantle.
