Supported by the Prussian crown and later the German state, KPM became one of Europe's leading porcelain manufacturers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThroughout the 18th and 19th centuries, KPM produced a wide array of luxury porcelain items, including dinner services, figurines, painted plaques, and vases. KPM's association with state patronage elevated its status to that of other major European porcelain houses such as Sèvres, Royal Worcester, and Royal Vienna. Today, KPM pieces remain highly sought after by collectors, with 18th-century examples commanding significant prices at auction.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMeasurements\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 22.5 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 12 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth: 12 cm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 613 g\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003cbr\u003e\nVery good antique condition. Enamel chipping is visible on the fingertips under magnification, though the hands remain intact. The delicate bows on the sleeves and the flower in the figure's hand are preserved, indicating that the hands have not been restored. There is a chip to the buckle on the left shoe. One side of the basket has been restored, and the original porcelain handles have been replaced with metal ones. Slight loss of gilding and paint is visible, consistent with the age of the piece.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease study all accompanying photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping \u0026amp; Packaging\u003cbr\u003e\nItem will be sent fully tracked and insured.\u003cbr\u003e\nShipping cost includes labour, packaging, and postage.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease feel free to ask any questions.\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"Gillers Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62882027864394,"sku":null,"price":375.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1066\/5351\/6106\/files\/il_fullxfull.6787671151_pnlq.jpg?v=1785891071"},{"product_id":"antique-porcelain-pair-eichwald-royal-dux-1905-pan-flute-mandolin-signed-hampel","title":"Antique Porcelain Pair Eichwald Royal Dux 1905 Pan Flute Mandolin Signed Hampel","description":"Rare pair of antique Eichwald (Royal Dux) porcelain figures, early 1900s.

The candlesticks are finely potted in bone china and modelled in the elegant 'Foliage' shape (also referred to as the 'Tulip' shape), featuring richly moulded columns and scalloped circular bases composed of overlapping tulip-like leaves.                                                                                                                            \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe form is officially documented in the Ridgway Pattern Book, where a closely related candlestick is illustrated under Pattern 1074, while an example decorated in Pattern 1019 is reproduced by Geoffrey A. Godden in Ridgway Porcelains (1985), p. 39, Plate 36, from the original Ridgway pattern book preserved in the archives of The Potteries Museum \u0026amp; Art Gallery.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n The surfaces are elaborately hand-painted in rich maroon (puce) and pale apricot overglaze enamels, with the moulded leaf ornament, veins and scalloped rims finely highlighted in hand-applied gold leaf. Both candlesticks retain the original handwritten factory pattern number 1070 in puce enamel beneath the base. As is characteristic of many Ridgway porcelains produced during this period, the undersides are otherwise unmarked. The unglazed wavy footrims display honest age-related shelf wear and a natural historic patina.\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003cbr\u003e\nDespite an extensive search of specialist reference sources, dealer archives and the wider antiques market, no directly comparable pair has been identified. The apparent absence of recorded examples strongly indicates that these Ridgway porcelain candlesticks are among the rarest surviving products of the John \u0026amp; William Ridgway partnership and were produced in very limited numbers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: Candlestick 1: Weight: 356 g; Height: 20.4 cm; Base Diameter: 11.5 cm.         \u003cbr\u003e\nCandlestick 2: Weight: 363 g; Height: 20.4 cm; Base Diameter: 11.5 cm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease study the accompanying photographs carefully as they form an integral part of this description.
