    I love these delicate candelabra with intricate floral design. Inherited from mother-in-law who lived on Canadian east coast; Just want to know more about them.

      The "MB" on the swords:

      http://www.porcelainmarksandmore.com/germany/bavaria/kronach-02/index.php

      "Porzellanmanufaktur Martha Budich (1951 until 1977)
      Next to creating an own small series of figures, Martha Budich mainly (re)decorated items purchased from other manufacturers. Inspired by the mark used by the former Pech company, she created a similar mark which used her own initials as sword handle replacements. The East German (and by then state-owned) VEB Staatliche Porzellanmanufaktur Meissen, trademark owner of the famous 'crossed swords' mark, had silently tolerated the previous mark form used by Pech before 1950.
      But since then its attitude had significantly changed, not only because of the political situation which resulted from the 1949 establishment of the two separate states of Germany. Hence the East German company demanded that Budich, as West German business, should immediately change her base mark. Budich refused and failed to sign a cease-and-desist declaration, thus the whole matter ended up before court. The whole case raged on for quite a while, the lawyers representing the VEB Staatliche Porzellanmanufaktur Meissen knowing exactly that Budich would have to give in sooner or later as her financial background would not allow her to continue forever.
      When the court finally made its decision in 1963, it ruled against Martha Budich and she was finally forced to change her mark. The years following the court case were not nearly as successful as those before, hence there are barely examples of her later work around; the business eventually closed in the year 1977."
