The Niloak Pottery began making arts and crafts ceramics in 1910 as the Eagle Pottery Company. They are best known for the “Mission Swirl” line, a marbled pottery hand/wheel-thrown style. Niloak also produced castware from molds, mostly planters and vases until they went bankrupt in 1947. These pieces fit perfectly with a prairie-style decorative scheme, and the prices are average when compared to many other period potteries. Here we have #2 excellent 10 inch tall Mission Swirl Candlesticks/Candle Holders Shape 110–a fantastic piece of prairie-style art pottery that is taller than most other Niloak candle holder types seen. Outstanding candlesticks in wonderful subtle earth-tones. I acquired both candlesticks together in the mid-1970’s, & they’ve always been kept in my antique beveled-glass china cabinet–this is the first time I’ve offered these for sale. The #1 Niloak candlestick is the one on the LEFT side in the photos showing 2 candlesticks, & this #1 is near-Flawless–No damage, no cracks, no repairs–Near-Mint condition! Signed with the First Art Mark on the inside bottom, right-hand side. This one has truly Exceptional Colors, with a beautiful Swirl design pattern. The #2 Niloak candlestick is located on the Right side in photos showing 2 candlesticks, & this #2 also has Great Colors & Design but has 1 small, smooth indentation on the bottom outside edge, possibly factory-made, because it was already there when I acquired these in the mid-1970’s. The indentation is small, but I mention it for verification–See Photos #1 & #12. #2 candlestick is Beautiful & Perfect otherwise, & it is Signed with the First Art Mark on the inside bottom, left-hand side–see Photos. Each candlestick has these Measurements : Height: 10″, Base: 6″, Opening: 2 1/2 with beautiful glaze inside. All images are original and un-edited. Both Niloak candlesticks are exceptional pieces & good matches together. S are from the firing/manufacturing process. Look over all the photos as part of the description–enlarge, enhance, magnify them–to judge for yourself the absolute beauty & superb quality of the pair of candlesticks, and know that you have found 2 outstanding antique treasures to use and enjoy!
