I'd say up - like torches. You might search "torchiere".

Now I think I might have had two Dale Tiffany vases and didn't know it.
First thing I'd look at would be Empoli.
Based on the lettering. All the languages in the region use some Chinese characters, but I tend to think of Chinese as having the most complex...
