Vintage Caged Glass & Copper Votive Candle Holder, Tulip Pattern

Glass : By Function : Votive Candle Holder

 

This caged glass votive candle holder is clear glass hand-blown into a mottled copper (or brass) sheath. A tulip pattern with one blossom and two leaves was cur out of a sheet of copper or brass and when the glass was blown into the sheath, the glass filled the cut pattern. In my photos you can see how the glass bulges out of the cut spaces. The candle holder has a point to hold the candle in place (photo 3) so that its light shines through the tulips. It's 3-1/4" high and has a diameter of 2.5". It stands on three knobs (photo 4) and, aside from a spot of green, it's in perfect condition.
