Candlestick c. 1760

This pair of candlesticks, crafted by the World’s End pottery in England around 1760, showcases the delicate beauty of 18th-century ceramics. The white porcelain is adorned with hand-painted floral motifs in blue, red, and green, echoing the popular Rococo style of the era. The simple yet elegant design of the candlesticks, with their slender stems and flared bases, reflects the refined taste of the time, while the intricate floral decoration adds a touch of whimsy. These candlesticks, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, are a testament to the enduring skill of the World's End potters and the artistry of English ceramics during the 18th century.
