Description:
Candlestick of cylindrical stick supported on a convex base with three feet in the shape of a leg of an animal. In the half of the stick a knot is defined in the shape of bulb and, in the top, a circular, very flat plate, on which a punch rises to fix the candle. The decoration combines engraved motives with moderate presence of enamel, specially in the base, three faces which were decorated by a figure of a lion in a circular frame, flanked by two fantastic animals, apparently birds. The palette is reduced and blue and green colours are predominant in.
