Ceramic Pillar Candlesticks Appraisal

Set of Three Graduated Turn-Style Ceramic Pillar Candlesticks

This is a cohesive set of three graduated pillar candlestick holders, featuring a classic 'turned' architectural silhouette reminiscent of traditional balusters. Constructed from ceramic with a high-gloss, creamy white or off-white glazed finish, the set includes a small, medium, and large height variant to create visual interest in a tiered arrangement. Each piece is built on a solid square pedestal base with rounded tiered molding transitioning into the main body. The bodies exhibit a mix of globose and elongated pear-shaped bulbous sections separated by crisp horizontal rings. The top of each holder features a shallow, recessed circular drip pan designed specifically for wide-diameter pillar candles. The glaze appears uniform and thick, suggesting a contemporary manufacturing process, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The surface displays a vibrant reflective quality with no immediate signs of crazing, large chips, or deep cracks visible in the primary glaze layer, indicating they have been well-maintained. The largest holder is currently supporting a white pillar candle, the medium supports a gold glitter-encrusted cylinder candle, and the smallest holds a square-shaped red textured candle. Their design style is transitional, blending traditional spindle shapes with modern, clean lines and a minimalist monochrome palette, making them suitable for Shabby Chic or Modern Farmhouse interior decor.
