A small but striking example of Wedgwood’s classic Jasperware, rendered in the deep, matte Portland Blue ground with crisp white relief. The broad, flat base and gently flared candle socket give it a quiet, architectural presence. The white sprig decoration—arranged in a continuous band—adds the subtle classical flair Jasperware is known for.
This piece is ideal for collectors who appreciate authentic English ceramics with a restrained, timeless look, and for anyone building a carefully curated collection of blue‑and‑white accents.

Additional Information
Additional Information
1. Colour and material:
- Portland Blue Jasperware with white relief.
- Jasperware is Wedgwood’s signature unglazed stoneware, valued for its velvety finish and ability to hold fine moulded decoration.
- Wedgwood confirms Jasperware originated in the 1770s after extensive experimentation, establishing the brand’s long heritage in this material.
2. Design:
- Broad circular base, low domed form, and a central taper candle holder that flares slightly at the rim—an elegant, compact silhouette that works in both classic and modern interiors.
3. Maker’s mark:
- Marked WEDGWOOD on the base, with additional impressed codes, confirming authenticity and English manufacture.
4. Practical size:
- Small footprint, easy to place on shelves, console tables, or alongside other small objects without crowding the scene.
5. Craftsmanship Notes:
- Jasperware reliefs are moulded and applied to the coloured body before firing, a process that preserves crisp detail.
- Wedgwood’s long history and continued dedication to craft are well documented, with apprenticeships and craft programmes maintained in England—underscoring the brand’s passed‑down skills and quality control.
- The decorative band on this candlestick aligns with Wedgwood’s traditional neoclassical inspiration and careful finishing.
6. Uses & Versatility:
- A single candlestick makes a refined focal point on a small tray, in front of a framed print, or beside a vase.
- Pairs well with other blue‑and‑white ceramics, white marble, or brass accents.
- Works as a subtle anchor in minimalist spaces, or as a quiet complement to richer, vintage interiors.
- Can be grouped with a second, similar candlestick or paired with a low bowl or small bud vase for a low‑profile table vignette.
