Candle holder, produced by the highly regarded Plateelbakkerij Zuid-Holland (PZH) in Gouda, The Netherlands. This piece is a superb example of transitional Art Nouveau design. The design is characterized by an elegant, flared base supporting a long, tapering column, which is crowned by a sophisticated socket with distinctive piercings. The form emphasizes graceful, flowing vertical lines. The decoration is executed entirely by hand, showcasing a magnificent, large, multi-petaled pink, blue and white flower that dominates the center of the column. This bold, focused floral motif is supported by delicate green foliage, beautifully contrasting the smooth, pale glaze of the body.
