Topic: ice candleholder?

[Elmwood]

Hi all,

Wondered if anyone has any thoughts on this pleasant little candleholder?.  detailed icicles, moulding,  very bright and clear, nice weight, only have the one.Diameter 3.5" (rim to rim), 2.75" tall.

TIA  - S & M

Looks like a Stellaria candleholder designed by Tapio Wirkkala for Iittala, can't be sure as your photos are a bit blurred. If you have 20th Century Glass by Andy McConnell check page 171. Dimensions are spot on.

Thanks John,

Have re-borrowed that book from our local library which is ready for collection, so will check it out in the week. Many thanks.  Had an inkling it was Iittala, as reminded me of the "ASLAK" range?. Sorry about the photos,the batteries were running out yesterday, have since taken some more, maybe these help better......Thankyou so much.

Just had another look at your photos and they were not that blurred at all, sorry.
