A PAIR OF BLUE AND WHITE CANDLESTICKS, KANGXI PERIOD

China, 1662-1722. Each raised on a domed octagonal base decorated with panels enclosing alternating flowerheads and floral sprays, the stem with three knops decorated with petals and trefoils, the cylindrical socket with prunus blossoms and pierced with two apertures. (2)

Provenance: From the collection of Karl Emil Str?mstad, by repute acquired at Bruun-Rasmussen, Copenhagen, Denmark. Old labels to bases, ‘Str?mstad 439a’ and ‘Str?mstad 439b’. Karl Emil Str?mstad was an important Norwegian collector of Chinese ceramics. He has written numerous articles on the subject, including ‘Fifty Shades of Green. Den fascinerende celadonkeramikken’, and co-founded the Oriental Ceramic Society of Norway (NSOK). A large part of his collection, which he built from the 1960s onwards, was acquired in London.
Condition:
Overall good condition, one candlestick with a chip to the base with associated old repair as well as a small chip around one of the apertures. Minor wear, firing irregularities, and traces of use including burn marks to the interior and remnants of wax. Some fritting and few shallow chips.

Weight: 296 g and 294.6 g
Dimensions: Height 15.4 cm and 15.7 cm

The present candlesticks were made specially to order for the European market as they are entirely non-Chinese in concept, modeled after European brass or silver candlesticks. As the West developed a taste for Chinese Export porcelain, the usual orders of plates, dishes, and serving vessels were topped up with requests for utilitarian wares, such as candlesticks.
