A rare Iznik-style pottery candlestick, Samson, France, circa 1880, with truncated-cone ceramic concave body decorated in dark and light green, with a tiger-stripe design and a "cintamani" (a cluster of three roundels paired with wavy stripes – one of the leitmotifs of Ottoman art, derived from the Sanskrit word for "auspicious jewel," which originated in Buddhist art) on the shoulder and mouth. Samson underglaze blue "Delft style" mark on the interior, one of the many marks used by Samson. A Samson candlestick with a almost identical pattern was sold at Sotheby’s, 27 October 2020, lot 516.
Approximate measurements: 8"h x 6 3/8" in diameter at the base or 20.2cm H x 16.2cm in diameter at the base

The top part drilled to be mounted as a lamp, which does not prevent this piece from being used as a candlestick. Otherwise in very good age-appropriate condition, with minor surface glaze loss on the top rim and base, consistent with use and age.
