Candlestick 1849 - 1858

This ceramic candlestick, produced by the United States Pottery Company between 1849 and 1858, exemplifies the company’s commitment to decorative, functional wares. The candlestick is glazed in a striking mottled yellow, green, and blue, a popular style in the mid-19th century. This piece, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of handcrafted, functional pottery.
