Sale price$325.00

Antique Meissen Blue Onion Porcelain Candlestick

An elegant late 19th-century Meissen porcelain candlestick, beautifully hand-painted in the iconic Blue Onion pattern and displaying the refined craftsmanship for which this celebrated German manufactory is renowned.

Gracefully shaped with a fluted and knopped stem, the candlestick combines sculptural form with delicate blue-and-white decoration. The flowing floral and stylized botanical motifs of the Blue Onion pattern create a timeless appearance that has remained highly collectible for generations.

The underside bears the underglaze Crossed Swords mark, identifying it as a genuine Meissen porcelain piece. Its substantial circular base provides both stability and visual balance, while the tall, elegant silhouette makes it equally suited for mantel display, table styling, or inclusion within a collection of fine European porcelain.

Whether displayed individually or paired with other blue-and-white ceramics, this handsome candlestick brings historic craftsmanship and understated German elegance to any setting.


 

Condition
