Crafted in the historic pottery town of Quimper, they reflect traditional savoir-faire and regional decorative heritage. Each candlestick features a flared cup raised on a gently balustered, tapering stem, an elegant yet unpretentious form. They are graduated in height for a harmonious tiered display. Both cups are fitted with a central spike to securely hold a taper candle. Hand-painted stylised floral and foliate motifs in warm ochre, soft green, and earthy brown are delicately outlined against a creamy white glaze, the expressive brushwork and subtle irregularities revealing the artisan’s touch and giving each piece its own personality.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe condition is very good, with only gentle signs of age that speak to its vintage character and authentic history. This refined duo brings effortless balance to a tablescape or mantel, their graduated heights introducing subtle movement and sculptural dimension. The hand-painted floral decoration adds a note of artisanal charm and gentle colour, infusing the setting with the warmth and poetry of the French countryside. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote\u003c\/strong\u003e: A similar \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Vintage French Quimper Candlestick\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chezpluie.com\/products\/hand-painted-quimper-ceramic-candlestick-c-1960s-61-4\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eQuimper candlestick\u003c\/a\u003e is available for separate purchase. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eBigger one measures approx. 6¼\" high x 4¼\" diameter.
