A charming and highly decorative pair of vintage Russian ceramic candlesticks, crafted in the classic Gzhel blue-and-white tradition. Each candlestick is sculpted as a stylized horse, hand-painted with bold cobalt floral and geometric motifs over a creamy white ground.
The forms are both sculptural and functional, resting on square bases with checkerboard detailing and finished with crown-shaped candle cups. These pieces offer strong visual presence while remaining versatile enough for a range of interiors—from traditional and European country to eclectic or collected spaces.
