A PAIR OF CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE RUYI CANDLESTICKS

拍品描述

This matching pair of candlesticks is structured with a flared stepped base, wide drip tray and slender central stem capped by a small candle holder. The entire surface is decorated with fluid underglaze blue ruyi scrollwork, interspersed with geometric diamond motifs arranged in layered horizontal bands. Painted with soft, consistent cobalt tones on creamy white porcelain glaze, the two pieces mirror each other perfectly in proportion and ornamentation. Symmetrical and rich in auspicious ruyi symbolism, they form a complete matching altar set, highly sought after by collectors of antique Chinese blue-and-white porcelain.
