Antique Moschendorf Bavaria Porcelain Candlestick c.1895–1910 – Foreign 67 – Floral Swag & Ribbon Motif

An impeccably preserved Moschendorf Bavaria porcelain candlestick, dating from circa 1895–1910 and marked “Foreign 67” — a code used on early export wares shipped to the UK before country‑of‑origin laws were fully standardised. Standing 12cm high, this elegant antique features a 5cm circular top with a soft green trim and a sturdy 8cm base, creating a refined silhouette typical of late‑Victorian and Edwardian European porcelain.

The decoration is a charming floral swag and ribbon motif, with a garland of red roses draped beneath a light blue tied ribbon bow — a design strongly associated with Moschendorf’s early production years. Known for their delicate firing, fine detailing, and export‑focused craftsmanship, the Moschendorf Porcelain Factory (active in Coburg, Bavaria) produced decorative pieces that blended German precision with romantic, turn‑of‑the‑century styling.

A beautiful antique accent for collectors of Bavarian porcelain, cottage interiors, or curated Victorian/Edwardian displays.

Key Features & Design

• Authentic Heritage: Made by the Moschendorf Porcelain Factory (MPC) in Coburg, Bavaria between 1895 and 1910, this candlestick represents the refined craftsmanship of early European export porcelain. The “Foreign 67” mark identifies it as an early UK‑bound export piece, produced before modern marking laws were introduced. Its floral swag and ribbon motif is characteristic of Moschendorf’s decorative style during their pre‑WWI production era.
• Stunning Aesthetic: The smooth white porcelain body is beautifully complemented by a green‑rimmed top and a delicate garland of red roses suspended beneath a light blue ribbon bow. Standing 12cm tall, with a balanced 8cm base, it offers a graceful silhouette that suits both antique and romantic cottage décor. The colours remain soft, elegant, and timeless.
• Elegant Detailing: The hand‑applied floral swag, crisp shaping, and neatly finished footed base highlight Moschendorf’s attention to detail during their early production years. The Foreign 67 stamp adds authenticity and historical interest, making this a desirable piece for collectors of Bavarian porcelain and late‑Victorian decorative wares.
