Vieux Paris porcelain refers to porcelain produced in various factories located in Paris during the 18th and 19th centuries. These factories, often small and independent, created a wide range of decorative and functional items, including vases, tableware, and candlesticks. The pieces were known for their high-quality porcelain, elegant designs, and elaborate hand-painted decorations.
 
Candlesticks like these were popular decorative items in affluent households. The purple glaze, combined with the gold floral decoration, reflects the opulent tastes of the period. Vieux Paris porcelain is collected today for its historical significance and artistic merit, representing a significant chapter in the history of French decorative arts.
 
No breaks, definitely age appropriate wear. Light and medium paint wear as seen in photos. One stick does need to be tightened but will leave to new owner. Price reflects condition.
