This intact white porcelain candlestick has an inverted-bowl-shaped base, a bamboo-like column on the base, and a plate-shaped support on which a candle can be placed. The inverted-bowl-shaped base is hollow inside and has some cracks from firing where it is connected to the column. There is a hole for a candle in the center of the upper base. The white clay is refined but has some air bubbles in it. The whole candlestick is covered with milky white glaze and tiny cracks. The ground plane of the inverted-bowl-shaped base has tightly-spaced traces supported by fine sand doughs.
