Hello again,
I don't know what this is, but it was pretty enough to buy at a recent estate sale.
At first I thought it was a ring holder, then some type of candleholder......
now I'm clueless.
It's lovely, with very attractive hand painted and gold adornments
Unfortunately there isn't a mark on the bottom,
Any guesses what it might be, or perhaps you know what it is?
Thanks and Happy week to all,
Tonino
China and DinnerwareThe art of making decorated porcelain ware originated in China more than 1,…
I think you might be right with the candle idea, Tonino.
The cover would work well and has the same conical form of a candle snuffer.
As such a clever piece of early design.
No marks?
English?
Copeland?
Kevin & Tony you're both awesome! Thanks for the love
and Kevin, thanks for the comment, I think you're right about it's use as a candleholder.
I'll see if I can find anything to compare it to.
Good night to you Good day
T.
Thanks for the love M
Budek, please take care in this snow! Might get to use your beautiful candle holder tonight - or the snuffer. We won't forget you, sir. : )
