Wedgwood Moonlight Lustre Candlestick c1820 Georgian Porcelain 9cm

Indulge in the refined elegance of early 19th-century English porcelain with this exceptional Wedgwood Moonlight Lustre candlestick, dating to the 1820s Georgian period. A rare surviving example of Wedgwood’s lustreware, this piece perfectly captures the shimmering, ethereal quality that made Moonlight Lustre so coveted among Regency and Georgian collectors.

Expertly crafted from fine porcelain/ceramic, the candlestick displays the sophisticated proportions and restrained decoration typical of the Georgian era. The delicate lustre glaze gently reflects the light, giving the surface a soft, moonlit sheen that is both subtle and luxurious. At approximately 9cm tall, it is ideal for display on a mantlepiece, side table, writing desk, or within a curated cabinet of fine ceramics.

This candlestick comes from a small group acquired together, all in this distinctive Moonlight Lustre colourway. This piece retains its original collection label, a desirable feature for serious collectors, as it hints at a well-documented provenance and a history of careful ownership. It is increasingly uncommon to find Georgian Wedgwood lustre pieces with such continuity of collection.

Condition: In good antique condition, with a small rim chip noted for accuracy. This minor imperfection is commensurate with age and use and does not detract from the overall beauty or display value of the piece. The glaze retains its attractive lustrous finish, and the form remains crisp and well-defined.
