Candlestick c. 1760

These two white ceramic candlesticks, created by the World's End pottery around 1760, are decorated with simple floral motifs in blue, green, and brown. They are examples of English delftware, a type of tin-glazed earthenware popular in the 18th century. The candlesticks' simple, elegant form and delicate floral decoration reflect the taste for refined domestic objects during this period.
