[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 9421980, member: 15376"]Drat. I did have the thought that they were rather crude for what they were supposed to be. The creatures on the handles also seem a little too 'on the nose' for genuine articles, like they are trying very hard to be older than they are. The painting itself seemed a little off to me, but when I checked pieces of the period the birds and leaves looked very similar, and the maker has pieces in the same reds as well, so all in all very confusing for one as unfamiliar with Delft as I. If they were cheaper I most likely would go back for them as I do like the colors and the oddness of the creatures, but they're being sold as the genuine article and at genuine prices. :arghh: I find it interesting that there doesn't seem to be many geniune candle holders of this type, its a very interesting style and I'd love to get my hands on some real ones![/QUOTE]
