What does this mean?

Hi Corey,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
It's hard to tell from the photos if these are bisque (unfired) porcelain, chalkware or something else. How heavy are they?

Thanks,
Delia

Delia,
Thank you for responding. Each one weights 2lbs.

That's pretty heavy, ruling out both bisque porcelain and chalkware, which would be lighter, and marble, which would be heavier. I suspect these are some sort of plaster-like composition. The workmanship is decent but not great and this style of candleholder is not terribly popular at the moment. If these were to go to auction, I would expect them to be catalogued as:

A pair of Continental style cast or molded composition candlesticks
20th Century
Each in the form of three putti around a standard with gadrooned upper rim and plinth bases.
Each 8 1/2 inches high, 4 inches diameter
$100-150 for the pair*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
