Nemsova trinket set with ‘kneeling ‘angel’ candlesticks

(1/3) > >>

agincourt17:
A pressed glass trinket set made by the Nemsova factory in Czechoslovakia. Green uranium and light blue examples, both in frosted glass.

The ‘kneeling angels’ candlesticks appear in their pre-1958 catalogue in 2 sizes - pattern no. 5082 (120mm), and 5083 (75mm). Ref.: Marcus Newhall’s Sklo Union CD-ROM.

(Permission for re-use of the images of the blue candlesticks on the GMB granted by tababa, and the green set by arousiac).

John Smith:
Errrm.. Any ideas of the maker/country of origin please... I have the pair of candlesticks, tray and a lidded pot.
Am thinking Czechoslovakia. Have seen the pattern before in blue glass, but??? Please help if you can.
Many Thanks. John

Since posting the original message referred to by Christine, above, in the Glass Trinket Sets section of GMB, I have seen quite a few examples of these angel candlholders on American sites (though never as part of a trinket set), always attributed to the the L E Smith Glass Co. in various colours, usually frosted, and with supposed dates of 1960s and 1970s, though none appear to be marked.

In a couple of examples, one in clear 'crystal' and one in frosted colourless glass, they were assigned pattern number 6661 and a production date of 1973-1997.

There is even currently a brown slag version (also attributed to L.E. Smith) from an American seller on the Etsy site at

I wonder, perhaps, if L.E. Smith licensed the design from Nemsova post-1958, or even simply imported them for re-sale?
