Help ID glass candlesticks please ?
« on: May 19, 2009, 11:51:36 AM »
Hi all can anyone ID this pair of crystal glass candlesticks , im gearing up to do my first Newark antique fair but i dont understand glass to well .
I think that the candlesticks look wonderful and for only 50p each at a car boot sale last Sunday , I thought that they would be a good investment .
There is no seems down the glass , No damage and no Name .
I think that they are lead crystal because they are quite heavy .
They measure 10 inches in hight .
I am now going to attempt to upload some Pictures .

Many thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
they look nice good quality cut crystal!
Have you searched hard for a mark or signature, they can be very faint, and not always on
the base.(maybe on the stems?)  Look closely in daylight.

Nice pair!
Good luck,
Andy.

Sometimes it can take weeks, months or years to identify something, so patience is the key please. :)

Also, please keep one item per topic - start a new topic about your Dartington vase or we'll get confused. Thanks.
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd
