Tuscan 1920s Art Deco 450.A Antique Fruit Taper Holders Made in England Pair

Vibrant Art Deco fruit frieze on a sky-blue ground with yellow and black geometric accents. Hand-painted in England (c. 1920s), these highly collectible hexagonal bone china holders blend Grandmillennial charm with authentic early 20th-century Heritage Decor. A recognized investment piece that is transitioning to a true antique (100+ years). ​Markings: Hand-painted "450.A" pattern mark in gold and "Made in England" stamp (R.H. & S.L. Plant attribution). ​Excellent Historical Condition (100+ Years): These hexagonal taper holders are in remarkable condition given their near-antique status. Please note the following authentic characteristics: ​Authentic Age-Crazing: Consistent with early 20th-century English bone china, there is fine, uniform crazing throughout the glaze. This is a natural result of the aging process and confirms the 100-year-old heritage of the set. ​Paint & Base Wear: There is minor, age-appropriate paint wear on the base rims and edges. The hand-painted fruit frieze and gold "450.A" markings remain vibrant and well-preserved. ​Integrity: No chips, cracks, or structural repairs. Collector's Note on Markings: While these pieces bear the hand-painted "450.A" pattern mark in gold and the "Made in England" stamp, they are a confirmed attribution to the R.H. & S.L. Plant (Tuscan) works. This specific gold-gilt numbering and hexagonal silhouette are signature hallmarks of their premium 1920s Art Deco production.
