This hand-painted Delft Blue candle holder isn’t your typical Dutch souvenir. Modeled in a rare oil lamp silhouette with a raised pedestal base and looping handle, it offers a playful nod to 18th-century chambersticks—while standing apart with its collectible form. The inner well features a classic Dutch windmill scene, framed by floral flourishes in rich cobalt tones, all rendered in traditional underglaze by skilled artisans.
 
Marked “Handpainted Delft Blue” on the base, this piece likely dates to the mid-20th century and was produced in the Netherlands for both domestic and export markets. What elevates its appeal is the shape—less common than flat-backed wall tiles or standard candle holders, and more sculptural in presence. It’s an ideal punctuation mark in a curated collection, especially for those drawn to European folk design or blue-and-white styling.
