dolphin / fish pressed candlestick

Max:
I feel a bit of a chump as this *seems* so recognisable, but which company made it please?  I was about to list it and realised I wasn't sure of the manufacturer.  I've looked on Pamela's site, but it's not there...  9" high.   :-[


PS:  If I had the other one to match, I'd be tempted to keep this...

cypher:
Another large manufacturer of these dolphin candlesticks was Boston and Sandwich Glass Co. c.1830s.  (If this is in one of the links above, I apologize, I hadn't clicked any yet.)  They were big into Clambroth and Opaque Blue.  One hint as to who the manufacturer was when looking at dolphin candlesticks is by looking at the base and the way it is shaped.  1 more thing, some houses had multiple dolphin designs.  Boston and Sandwich had 9 different types.  Cambridge had around 3 main types.  Portieux Vallerysthal even manufactured these dolphin candlesticks.  Neat piece you have there. :)
