Candlewick Candle holders Cut Design w Engravers Initials 30's
This pair of early Candlewick candle holders are unusual in design and may be made by Imperial Glass Co. No manufacture mark but signed w initials of engraver. The candle sticks form a circle of ten solid glass balls attaching to the larger center one.The base has cut designs of wheat, grapes and daisy, and each candle stick is signed with the initials of the cutter at base rim.The glass has a pale lavender tint to it which is caused from the early glass having magnesium and tends to turn purple over the years from the sunlight. This pair of candlesticks are perfect, no chips , cracks nicks etc that I can find. They measure 5 1/4" across at base, 7" across at holders and approx. 4" high.I believe they are late 30's but the purple tint makes me think earlier.Most later Imperial glass has the initials of this company. The engraver signed the candle holders with his initials,B.E etched into glass along the rim.
