Copeland Spode England porcelain candlestick – turquoise shagreen design –

Elegant candlestick in fine English porcelain, from the prestigious Copeland Spode factory in Stoke-on-Trent, England. The printed stamp on the underside "Copeland Spode England" dates the piece between 1847 and 1970. It consists of a wide saucer with a scalloped edge enhanced by a gold trim, topped with a cylindrical candle holder featuring a removable white insert — a characteristic shape of Copeland's production during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The decoration, entirely covered with the famous "Shagreen" pattern (also known as "Broth"), mimics the appearance of turquoise and white shagreen — a pattern recorded in the Spode archives before 1833 and regularly used by Copeland throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. ✦ Total diameter: 18 cm. ✦ Diameter of the central part (candle holder): 8 cm. ✦ Total height: approximately 8 cm. ✦ Stamp: Copeland Spode England. Condition: very good condition — no chips or cracks. A piece of great elegance, rare as a candlestick, that will perfectly fit into an English interior, a collection of Victorian porcelain, or on a characterful mantelpiece.
