I am posting these for a Friend, as i have permission to use their photos and words.

"""I bid on these lovely candlesticks thinking the candle holder part and!! the foot were both metal, the way it was listed it seemed that way, but when I got them I was thrilled to find the foot was a clear glass and iridescent to boot...:-))

I have to confess I did think and hope maybe Loetz...but! have been informed....not so!...:'(..so I am hoping that someone in CW world can help me identify these.

They are really beautiful and are so much better than the photos in the auction, they have a clear glass pedestal foot that has iridescent and years of wear on the base.

The silver plate has worn from metal candle holders on the top..but! part from that they are perfect and I love them.

I am putting age at around 1900-1920 by the wear and Art Deco shape but! your thoughts and comments are very welcome..

I have put them in the Bohemian category, they could be American, German or English...

They stand approx...7.1/2 tall.

Thank you for looking......................[added quote]....you might like to emphasise that the base is definitely not mercury glass..it is clear glass with the same iridescence that is on the vase   """


THANKS for any help or direction......I might add they were purchase from Ebay UK for a direction on a maker They will be watching here on GMB to see their item in the post I did for them

......I am merely the messenger to try and help them figure these out......LOL  ;) Thanks

They were made by Isle of Wight Studio Glass, pattern is Summer Fruits and the colour Mulberry (dates from 1995 to 2012). Not easy to find as candlesticks I would think.

More examples of Summer Fruits here, scroll down for Mulberry: http://iowstudioglass.wikidot.com/summerfruits
