Wedgwood Jasperware Bowl and Candlestick Holders

This collection consists of a medium-sized bowl and a pair of candlestick holders, all crafted from the distinctive Wedgwood Jasperware ceramic. The predominant color is a classic pale blue, a hallmark of traditional Jasperware, which serves as the matte background for the raised white bas-relief decorations. The bowl features a continuous band of intricate white classical motifs, likely depicting floral or foliate patterns, encircling its exterior just below the rim. The interior of the bowl is smooth and exhibits a slightly glossy finish, contrasting with the matte exterior, and shows minor reflections suggesting a clean surface. The candlestick holders are designed in a similar style, with a pale blue base and a central column to hold a taper candle. Their circular bases are also adorned with delicate white bas-relief patterns, mirroring the aesthetic of the bowl. Two white taper candles are currently inserted into the holders. The overall condition appears to be very good, with no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant damage. The white detailing is crisp and well-defined, indicating quality craftsmanship. These pieces embody the neoclassical style that Wedgwood is famous for, suggesting an origin from the late 18th century to the present day, with specific dating contingent on maker's marks, which are not visible in the provided images. The uniform color and decorative style strongly suggest these items are a matching set.
