Here’s a closer look:

Description:
• Material: Glazed with a glossy white finish (sometimes referred to as “milk glass” or porcelain-like).
• Form: Each candlestick features a fish with detailed scales and a curled tail, supporting a stylized flower-like candle cup at the top.
• Base: Hexagonal base provides a sturdy and geometric contrast to the organic fish shape.
• Markings: The underside is impressed with “MADE ITALY,” indicating its Italian origin—likely mid-century (circa 1950s–1970s).

Style Notes:
• The sculptural quality and smooth finish give them a neoclassical-meets-coastal aesthetic.
• These would work beautifully in traditional or coastal-inspired interiors, either as functional candle holders or decorative shelf accents. See less
