Topic: Green glass candle holder - Uranium glass? - id request

[heartofsklo]

Green candle holder with one side upturned. Not sure if it is uranium glass or not, it looks like its is. It measures 21.5cm (8.5inches) appx across and (7.5cm) 3 inches appx to the tip of the upturned area.

No makers marks and there is a raised rounded bump to the centre of the base.

Any help appreciated.

Fostoria 'Heirloom' maybe? They did a range with this style of ribbing and in various opalescent colours.

Many thanks Mosquito, that is great and a maker that I would not have twinned with the piece at all.

Thanks again for the id.

After looking around the net, I am wondering if these were actually intentionally made as candle holders?
I have seen many images of the ¨Heirloom¨ range and some have an epergne/vase or a smaller bowl sat in the centre as here http://thefrontporchantiques.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/DSCN1867.jpg

Here is another image, this time of a central vase with connector/noggin https://img1.etsystatic.com/133/0/9467046/il_570xN.989423265_p929.jpg

Do you think that these pieces like mine are simply missing a partner piece and therefore now classed simply as candle holders?
