Product Information
This exquisite Blue and White Gilt Decorated Figural Porcelain candlestick is a magnificent example of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The centerpiece of this object d’art is a meticulously detailed female figure, enveloped in a hand-painted blue floral pattern that delicately contrasts with a pristine white ground. The tactile dimension of the floral arrangement adds a layer of complexity to the piece, making it both a functional candlestick and a standalone work of art. Adding to its opulence are carefully applied gilt decorations that highlight specific design elements, infusing the piece with a subtle yet luxurious glow.
The woman is depicted wearing an intricate floral wreath on her head, a detail that effortlessly harmonizes with the overall floral theme. Her arms are gracefully wrapped around the shaft of the column, lending a naturalistic touch that contrasts beautifully with the sophistication of the porcelain. Her pose is serene yet animated, capturing an evocative moment in time while serving as the fulcrum for the candlestick. This adds an element of narrative to the piece, transforming a simple utilitarian object into a conversation starter.
Adding to its unique character, the figure is elegantly seated on a blue ground, harmonizing with the blue floral decorations and providing a visually pleasing contrast to the white base. Further authenticity is provided by the blue ‘B’ insignia on the underside of the candlestick, accompanied by the impressed numbers ‘198,’ signifying its limited-edition nature and vintage provenance. This Blue and White Gilt Decorated Figural Porcelain candlestick is not just a mere decorative piece; it is a slice of history, an embodiment of early 20th-century artistry that integrates form, function, and narrative into a singularly captivating object. It offers a rare combination of intricate craftsmanship and aesthetic delight, making it a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs of fine porcelain.
