Hello and thanks for everyones help on my items. I am struggling to find the maker and the USE of this piece of crystal. One way up it looks like a candle holder and then if you turn it over it could easily be a stand of some sort. I am assuming it is Scandinavian?? Any ideas Please. markus

Markus, It's a potwarmer, probably German, possibly by Georgeshutte or Becker - I have one labelled in the same style. You put a tealight in it and pop your teapot on top to keep it warm. Here are three of mine for comparison: http://yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/thumbnails.php?album=27 although there are a few dozen different styles made.

Aha! I've been mulling over this piece for a few months now
holds 3 tealights weighs a hefty 2.1kg must be for warming large pots!
but same family I think? would you agree?
Cheers!

I'd say so, Mel. Yours must be for a very big teapot! :)

It's probably a posh version of the food warmers you get in Chinese restaurants

Hi,
I know that Lindshammar made a very similar if not identical tealight holder.

I found what I think is a match for the one Markus has above in a LaVida (a Germany company) catalogue. It's a pattern named Olives (presumably from the shape of the supports! :) I didn't know Lindshammar made them too, that's useful to know, thanks Neil. I love these and keep adding to the collection when I find them! (Not that I have space for them, but they are usable, so I justify it on those grounds.)

This is German made. I have one with the original box somewhere.
