Blue and white high-stemmed candlestick with scrolling...

A tall, blue-and-white porcelain altar candlestick from a folk kiln, dating to the late Qing Dynasty. It features an elegant, upright form; the tray is painted with scrolling patterns of "longevity peaches" and symbols of fortune and longevity, while the central column is decorated with scrolling foliage and plantain leaf motifs. The underglaze blue exhibits an antique tone and is hand-painted. The base shows characteristic wheel-thrown marks and a patina developed over a century of use. It was originally intended for use in a traditional ceremonial hall. Condition Report: There is an old crack on the central column, and the rim of the candle holder at the top shows chips and glaze loss; these are age-related imperfections, clearly visible in the photographs. This is a fine piece of antique folk porcelain, ideal for display. Dimensions: Height approx. 27 cm; width approx. 22 cm. It will be carefully packaged and shipped via courier with tracking number.
