DELPHINE CROWN CHINA, ENGLISH Violet CALICO, FLORAL HATPIN HOLDER & CANDLE HOLDER. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.Sweet 4 inch antique hat pin holder is marked on its solid bottom as shown in photo, Delphine Crown China, England. It has no flaws as far as chips, cracks or crazing, but some gold loss with age. Printed all over in calico tiny violet colored flower print. The matching candle holder is about 5 inches tall and is not marked but is an obvious match. I bought them together over 15 years ago at an estate sale. The candle holder has a hairline crack in the top as shown in photo. Really doesn’t show, especially when using a candle. Otherwise, no chips, cracks or crazing, other than gold loss from aging. The diameter of the bases is about 3 inches on each. Very lovely antique for your dressing table or guest bath.
I often used some of my hat pin holders like vases to hold tiny stems of tea roses; this one, since it has a solid bottom, would look sweet for that use, especially for violets!
