About the Item

This English porcelain candlestick dates to the late 19th century and is decorated in the well known Dounton’s Willow pattern. Executed in porcelain, the piece is hand painted in blue and features Chinese inspired motifs drawn from the traditional tale The Green Willow, a narrative that became widely popular in decorative arts during the period. The blue painted decoration contrasts delicately with the white porcelain ground, emphasizing the finely rendered imagery and the balanced proportions of the candlestick form. The surface painting reflects careful craftsmanship and attention to detail, characteristic of English porcelain production in the late 19th century. Originally conceived as a functional lighting object, the candlestick also served a decorative purpose, bringing narrative imagery and cultural references into the domestic interior. Today, it stands as a representative example of historic English porcelain, combining storytelling, ornament, and utility. Its refined decoration and clear provenance make it well suited for display in both traditional collections and eclectic interiors that incorporate historical decorative objects.
