Faience candlestick in the form of a heraldic lion rampant. The figure of the beast is depicted with an open mouth and a protruding tongue; its left forepaw is raised, and a molded candle nozzle (bobeche) in the form of a stylized crenellated crown (tower) is fixed on its head. The lion's body is covered with white glaze and decorated in the Oriental "Imari" style with motifs of blooming chrysanthemums, peonies, and gilded arabesques. The color scheme features deep underglaze blue and overglaze red-orange combined with rich gold detailing on the mane, paw contours, and floral patterns. The curved tail smoothly connects to the hind leg, forming a stable support loop.
