Infuse your home or workspace with the refined elegance of the Edwardian era with this rare, three-piece antique desk set. Crafted in the historic pottery hub of Staffordshire, England, by Celebrate Semi-Porcelain, this coordinated set is a beautiful testament to the artistry of early 20th-century British ceramics.

Historical Craftsmanship
The Maker: Each piece features the distinguished blue circular crown backstamp of "Celebrate Semi-Porcelain," a quality mark used by Staffordshire potters around the turn of the century.
Artisanal Detailing: The set showcases "Dekor 573," an exquisite hand-painted pattern featuring vibrant blue, pink, and orange floral anemones. The delicate black-trimmed edges add a sophisticated visual contrast typical of high-end English earthenware from this period.
Material: Made from Semi-Porcelain (also known as ironstone or stone china), prized for being harder, whiter, and more durable than standard earthenware, while maintaining a brilliant, glass-like glaze.

Set Components & Dimensions
Chamber Candlesticks (Pair): Two classic low-profile holders designed for stability and charm.
Measures: 2" tall x 4.5" diameter at base.
Matchbook Holder & Integrated Tray: A unique and functional centerpiece featuring a vertical "safe" for a matchbox and an attached tray for spent matches or small trinkets.
Measures: 2.25" tall x 4" x 4".

Collector’s Condition & Value
Authentic Patina: This set is in very good antique condition, showing age-appropriate wear that confirms its century-old heritage.
Condition: Overall excellent condition - minor wax residue is present on the candlesticks—a sign of genuine historical use that can be easily addressed or left as-is for character.
Investment Potential: Complete, matched sets from this era are increasingly difficult to find, making it a distinguished acquisition for any collector of Staffordshire porcelain or Victorian-era decor.
