This elegant Wedgwood light blue dipped Jasperware candlestick is a classic example of neoclassical design. The piece features a vibrant light blue dip over a white stoneware body, decorated with finely detailed white bas-relief applications.
Design and Motifs
Central Imagery: The column is adorned with classical figures and botanical elements, including a woman playing a lyre and lush, stylized trees.
Decorative Borders: A delicate leaf-and-berry garland circles the neck, while a sophisticated scrolling foliate pattern decorates the wide, flared base.
Form: The candlestick features a traditional columnar shape with a gently cupped rim and a substantial, stable base.
Measurements: 4.5"W x 4.5"D x 7"H.
Authentication and Condition
Maker's Mark: The underside is clearly impressed with the "WEDGWOOD" serif block stamp, a hallmark of authentic production.
Surface Details: The interior of the candle cup remains unglazed, showing the natural cream-colored stoneware body.
Condition Note: The base shows some minor age-related discoloration or "foxing" consistent with an antique piece of this age.
This piece would make a distinguished addition to any collection of English ceramics or a beautiful accent for a mantle or dining table.
