Description
Circa 1970's Fitz & Floyd chinoiserie style white porcelain single taper candlestick holders in the shape of Indian elephants with curled trunks, draped in lime green saddlecloths with cobalt blue trim / details. Made in Japan.
"Founded by Pat Fitzpatrick and Bob Floyd in Dallas in 1960, the ceramics company that bears their names started out as an import company. It soon expanded into creating and designing ceramic giftware, and Fitz and Floyd moved into tabletop products and accessories like candlesticks, plates, and teapots later in the 1960s. The company's hand-painted ceramic gift lines were developed in the 1970s, and the reputation of Fitz and Floyd grew due to the quality of its work and the creative pieces for which the company became known. The company’s in-house design staff developed themes around which entire collections were built. Among their most popular creations were their animal-themed teapots and their pots de creme cups and tea sets. According to its website, Fitz and Floyd dinnerware has been selected by presidents and governments around the world. The city of Dallas commissioned the company to create a one-of-a-kind tea service as the official gift to Queen Elizabeth for her visit to the city in 1991. In addition to holiday dinnerware and specialty serving pieces, the company also makes casual dinnerware and crystal as well. Although Fitz and Floyd products were collected long before they officially entered the collectibles arena, the company finally did so in 1990, with teapots and ornaments. The company continues to offer its popular lines of figurines, ornaments, snow globes, houses, mugs, and cookie jars." (Source: Barbara Crews / LiveAbout)
