Help please re. Scandinavian blue glass candleholder

<< < (2/3) > >>

Anik R:
px is right...  the candleholder is Polish.  I've seen a few of them here, but I don't recall the glassworks.  


EDIT:  There are currently two in clear glass up for auction on Allegro...  they are unhelpfully described as "Old Polish glass":  http://allegro.pl/stare-polskie-szklo-orginal-zestaw-swiecznikow-i1265150846.html

bmbjosta:
Thanks again all for the comments.

In one of the related threads (link below) someone has stated the following- "A friends parents brought back a pair of these from Romania in the 1950's and had said they were her mothers who had them since the 1940's."  Would 1940s therefore be around the right date for my candleholder?  Due to the bright colours I assumed they were perhaps a little later (1950s-60s) but I am still learning about glass.  Also, did Romania make much/any glass?

Anik R:
Your candleholder, and the ones in the other thread, is not Romanian, but Polish.  As the woman is wearing a Silesian national costume, the piece could have been made by Zabkowice glassworks (in the 1930s).

Lustrousstone:
The colours are fine for 1940s or 1930s (and yes glass is made in Romania)

Anik R:
I've come across some new information regarding this candleholder.  It may be called 'Karolinka' and is a figure dressed in costume used by the Silesian Song and Dance group.  It was produced by H.S. Ząbkowice in Będzin, possibly in the 1960s (I thought it would have been earlier).  Might be a lead...
