Royal Adderley Floral Bone China Candlestick Holders

This is a pair of vintage English fine bone china candlestick holders, likely produced by Royal Adderley or a similar Staffordshire ceramic manufacturer such as Aynsley or Royal Doulton during the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s). Each holder features a cream-colored glazed porcelain base with a scalloped edge and a central fluted column, both accented with gilded gold rims. The primary decorative elements are hand-modeled, three-dimensional ceramic flowers arranged around the base of the column. The floral assortment includes realistic roses in varying vibrant shades of yellow, deep magenta, and pale pink, accompanied by intricate green foliage. The craftsmanship is high, requiring delicate hand-painting and manual assembly of the petals and leaves. Regarding condition, the left candlestick shows a significant chip or break on the upper front rim of the candle cup. Additionally, these types of pieces are highly prone to 'flea bites' or small chips on the delicate edges of the hand-formed petals, though many flowers appear intact from this angle. The glaze remains glossy, and the gold gilding shows minimal visible wear for its age. This style reflects the 'Old Country Roses' aesthetic popular in post-war English pottery.
