Pair of porcelain vase-shaped candlesticks or decorative table lamps (likely converted from candlesticks)
Estimated Value
$60-$180 for the pair, depending on maker, age, and whether they are original candlesticks or later lamp conversions
A matched pair of elegant white porcelain pieces with flared trumpet necks and broad, scalloped bases. The bodies are decorated with gold floral sprays and scrolling gilt accents near the lower edge, giving them a refined decorative look. Their form suggests either porcelain candlesticks, bud vases, or possibly lamp bases that have been converted or adapted for decorative use. The style is ornate but restrained, with a glossy white glaze and applied gilding typical of early 20th-century decorative porcelain.

Early to mid-20th century, likely Art Deco to Mid-Century period (1920s-1950s)
Origin
Likely European, possibly German or Japanese export ware; exact origin unknown from image alone
Material
Glazed porcelain with gilded decoration; possible metal or felt base pads
Condition
Good overall condition. Visible light wear to gilding and surface, but no obvious chips or cracks visible in the image. One piece appears to have a small dark mark or minor blemish on the body. Exact condition should be confirmed in hand.

Approximately 7 to 9 inches tall each; base width approximately 5 to 7 inches

Light to Medium
Authentication
Authenticity Score
Medium. The pieces appear period-appropriate and well-made, but the exact maker, origin, and function cannot be verified from the image alone. Lack of visible marks limits certainty.
Provenance
Likely mass-produced decorative porcelain intended for domestic use or export market sale. No maker's mark is visible in the image, so provenance cannot be confirmed. The style is consistent with European or Japanese export porcelain from the first half of the 20th century.
Historical Significance
Decorative porcelain candlesticks and small table accessories of this type were common in middle-class homes during the early 20th century and reflect the popularity of elegant yet affordable ornamental ceramics. If identified to a known maker or pattern, they could have greater collectible interest.
