Georgian? Victorian cobalt blue Turkey candlesticks help please.
« on: December 21, 2014, 03:10:01 PM »
Hello there i think these have some real age to them, large snapped pontils and wear to the base rim, i'm guessing there Turkeys.

Any help with age and maker if at all possible would be good.

6 inches in total height and 3 1/2 inches across the base.

regards Chris.

The style reminds me of Gordiola, there are catalogues here but annoyingly I could not get the candelabros catalogue to download: http://www.gordiola.com/en/catalogs

Thanks john i will see if i can email them a pic, the English link on the web site site does not translate either, i think these have been used as oil lamps there is a lot of residue around the inner upper surface, looks like the style of glass has been used for centuries, i'm resided with the fact that a lot of glass is very tricky to atribute to anyone and you need to love it for what it is, regardless of age or maker, although my gut feeling is these are Victorian.
