    That kind of signature is usually that of a hobbyist china painter, who decorated the blank.

    Hi,
    Looks like a hobbyist did the decorating of your wonderful candle stick. Back when women and men did hand painting on ceramic pieces.

    Very odd name. Could be Eycars, equally as unproductive in search as Eyears. Maybe a private joke on Eye-Ears?
