Iridescent crackle glass candle holder - M&S or what???
« on: May 02, 2010, 04:15:26 PM »
I have no idea about this piece, it is very substantial and has a lovely iridescent sheen but no idea of maker or age. Any comments welcome   :)

sorry I have no idea but there was one in our local charity shop recently.  It looks as though it should hold one of those biggish round candles rather than I traditional candle shape.  I thought modern but can't tell you why :-[

Thanks m - I'm pretty sure it's M&S or some other store, it's just that I hadn't seen them with the iridescence. But if you have, then I think it's probably - case closed  ;)

ASDA had them I think.... they did a whole load of crackle stuff a couple of years back... I seem to recall they were made in China.
