Production: Unidentified Staffordshire Pottery
White salt-glazed stoneware decorated with enamel colours
Off-white stoneware made in three separate parts. The base was press moulded with decoration in relief; the stem was turned; and the nozzle may have been thrown. The whole was salt-glazed and painted in brown, green, yellow, pink and blue enamels, The mouth of the nozzle flares outwards to form a drip pan, and is supported on a baluster stem with three ridges. The stem is attached to a square base with sides that curved inwards slightly. It has a shell on each corner, and above each, five short flutes, a scroll and two serrated leaves. The candle holder is decorated with flowers, fruit and a butterfly in blue, yellow, and pink. All three are outlined in brown. The mouth of the holder, and the ridges, are decorated with brown linear patterns. The shells on the base are brown, and the leaves above them are green. Between each shell, on the side, is a flower in the above colours.
