Candlestick c. 19th century

This pair of ceramic candlesticks, dating from the 19th century, are a fine example of the decorative arts of the period. The candlestick's rich red glaze with subtle yellow flecks is reminiscent of the "drip" glaze technique, popularized in the late 19th century, which sought to emulate the look of natural geological formations. The candlesticks' sleek and elegant design is both functional and beautiful, adding a touch of sophistication to any setting. These candlesticks are currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
