Topic: Pressed glass amber candleholders? ID help please

[vanmann]

I have this pair of amber pressed glass items, Any thoughts on use and maker please, the interior doesn't appear to be big enough to take a candle. "Wings" appear to have perhaps been pulled out whilst soft.  Crosshatched base. All thoughts appreciated John

These are 3 1/4 inches diameter x 2 inches deep by the way

Can't help with the ID I'm afraid, although I've seen these quite often, but I think they are most likely ashtrays.
I've also seen similar ones, without the wings, that are stacking ashtrays.  Out of interest, do yours stack?

[vanmann]

Thanks Anne, they will stand on top of each other but not vey securely, so I guess not designed to stack

Bergdala did something similar.  Might be worth checking out
