Despite some minor damage to the ivy which is typical of works from this period with the delicate foliage detailing, the candlesticks are still stunning and impressive in their appearance and presence. Each candlestick features an impressed stamp "275" on the bottom and stands 13" tall with a base width of 5 1/4".

These porcelain owl candlesticks are perched on ivy-entwined bases, with a lily pad bobeche and a gilded flower candle cup adorning the top. The glass eyes of the owls give them a piercing and lifelike gaze, which is further enhanced by the crisp detailing and hand-painted features on the porcelain birds. The whimsy of the flower and lily pad candle cups adds to the charm and unique personality of these rare candlesticks.

Despite their age, these mid-19th century owl candlesticks have a timeless appeal that will make them a focal point in any room they are displayed in. They are a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who created them, and a wonderful addition to any collection of antique ceramics. less
