Topic: can anyone identify these candle sticks old or new mercury glass ?

[Frank]

And if you go into one of the many wedding shops in India you will find shelves heavily laden with this popular glass. Or you would 25 years ago at least.

ok thanks everyone for the info so do they have any value ?

[Greg.]

Don't normally discuss values generally on the board, if you like them I suppose the value is irrelevant.

There are some 'newer' than yours on eBay, with a tatty silvering to look like tatty real mercury ones

While yours are much better than those I doubt they would fetch as much. There is a US book which probably covers some of the modern makers by Diane Lytwyn - Pictorial Guide to Silvered Mercury Glass: Identification & Values.
