About the Item

This most interesting and decorative Austrian pottery wall candelabra is made in the form of a monk wearing a burgundy habit. He is reaching out from the wall with white arms and hand gripping a pair of candles. Both of these elements are beautifully glazed in contrast to his face which is also white but left with a matt finish highlighted in tones of grey shading to show off his detailed mad expression. This decorative item could be a most interesting addition to the right position in your home creating a good impact at night when the candles are alight. It is marked on the back with a registration number and the words produced in Austria. It is in very good condition with no restoration. Austrian, circa 1910 Height 28cm x width 28cm x depth 14cm We hope you enjoyed looking at this amusing decorative pottery monk, who in our opinion, is quite quirky and unusual. It would make a very good conversation piece! Please let us know if you need any further information or photographs, we are more than happy to help.
