In the form of a female cherub holding two candle branches and a basket of flowers, seated on a high base with three scroll feet. Soft-paste porcelain, moulded, lead-glazed, painted in blue, green, yellow, orange, flesh-pink, pale purple, pale brown and black enamels and gilded. The glaze is slightly green where it lies thickly, and has crazed. The candlestick is in the form of a nude girl child supporting two scrolled branches terminating in candle nozzles and drip-pans, and holding a basket in her right hand. She sits on a high base with three elaborately scrolled feet, and a flat back. She is nude except for a polychrome floral garland passing across her body from her right shoulder to her left hip, and a blue and red band and bow on her left arm, from which is suspended a pale purple and gold drape which covers the lower part of her body at the front, and the top of her legs. Her flesh is shaded in pink, and she has pale brown hair drawn up into a knot on the top of her head, from which point a short green veil falls down onto her shoulders at the back. The candle branches, their nozzles, and drip-pans are outlined in gold, as are the scrolls on the base. Its top is decorated with a large purple and green butterly. On the back the edges are outlined in green and gold.
