A delightful and highly collectible pair of vintage fine bone china pear-shaped candle snuffers (candle douters) by the historic British porcelain house, Royal Worcester. Released as part of their prestigious Connoisseur Collection, this matching fruit-themed set beautifully bridges traditional English craftsmanship with functional, high-end decorative art.
The set includes two unique, hollow-bodied porcelain pears:
One showcasing an intricate, hand-painted green scale pattern flanking a vertical central panel of vibrant yellow blossoms.
One featuring a rich orange-red lattice pattern surrounding a vertical cascade of purple and pink wildflowers.Both pieces feature sculptural, heavily gilded 22-karat gold-toned metal stems and dual leaves that serve as beautiful handles. Hollowed out beneath the base, they are specifically engineered to safely extinguish candle flames without producing excess smoke or soot. Complete with their original branded presentation boxes, this set makes an exquisite addition to a curated vanity, holiday mantle, or Chinoiserie-inspired tabletop vignette.
