Featured Blue white candlestick

Hello world again,
Would you tell me more about this quite large ( base diameter is 5,5 inches, its height is 10 inches) china candlestick? Thanks in advance good people!

 

The decoration is blue transferware. You may be able to find parts of the transfer on other pieces - plates, bowls, etc - on which the name of the pattern may be included in the marks. But keep in mind that transfers are not unique to a maker. So if you do find another use of this same design, it may appear on pieces by a variety of china makers.

 

Looks as if it may have been a lamp base at some time.

 

Good catch, Houseful!

 

Thanks, I will try to look for the pattern!

 

That was my first thought too and I'd lay odds it was designed as one; drilling this to make a lamp of it would be hazardous and it would likely have been damaged or destroyed.

 

No, there is no glaze inside both holes
Unfortunately this inside is harder to catch in my camera, but my eye didn't catch any glaze also here

 

Nothing on the base?

 

One of the photo I've posted is a base with mark, but it seems to be hard to decipher.

 

I don't see a pic of the underside, much less one with a mark. ??

 

maybe mistaken for the top...?

 

I assumed it was the candleholder part because I don't believe I have ever seen a transferware piece decorated underneath. Maybe this is the first time?

And there is no mark there.

 

I could be wrong but I think that is the top. There is a side hole on the base section. At least I think it would show on the base.

 

i'm just trying to help..

 

Ditto

 

of course it does look like the top....but u no pics,,they can deceive..

 

So true. So true. Perhaps Marzena can say if that is the photo of the base or if perhaps one with a close up of the mark would be helpful.

 

One of the photo I've posted is a base with mark, but it seems to be hard to decipher.

Well ya take a gal at her word...but maybe she didn't understand we need to see the INSIDE underneath the base ????

 

So , now that I've involved myself where I should not be ......it's time for an objective...comment....

One stick...not even a pair..
the transfer....boy, they look poorly affixed...
the hole thru the bottom and the center indeed look like it was going to be made into a lamp..

So , I'm wondering out loud if this item is even worth further discussion.....
What...$ 5 bucks at a yard sale???

IMO....
