A delightful pair of Chinese export famille rose enameled porcelain candleholders, likely from the late Qing Dynasty or early Republic Period, early 20th century, China.
These whimsical candleholders depict sturdy elephants standing on all fours with their heads turned and trunks curled. Each elephant, adorned with an ornate harness and blanket, carries a large vase on its back as the candleholder.
The elephants are crafted in porcelain, decorated with famille rose enamels, and feature delicate brushstrokes for a textured appearance. Their harnesses display bright colors, and the vases are finished with turquoise enamels and gilt rims.
