Topic: Mystery (to me!) green glass "candlestick"?

[bookworm_cj]

Over last 30 years I have dealt in a variety of categories of glass, but have never come across anything like this before, either "in the flesh" or in reference books.

As can be seen, it has a grand mix of style pointers  -  it has the classic key pattern, but also something which loos like a Polynesian legend.  The shape is reminiscent of a Gu vase, particularly if the wide end is upwards, but the orientation of the decoration seems to suggest strongly that this should be at the bottom.

The technology is obviously akin in some ways to North-East English pressed glass, but it lacks the crispness.

Any ideas or positive identifications, please?

Thank you  -  Sorry about that  -  I have had little experience of compressing images, and overdid it !

Hope this batch should be better.

(NB:  The little blobs on top of the narrow end are plastic protectors I put on when I thought it was meant to be wide end up  -   it is the curve of the pattern on the wide end (a bit like the Eiffel tower) that made me decide it should be narrow end up)

Look's a nice piece of glass who ever made it.
Similar to oralit glass made by walther I think.
Not too sure though just a guess.

Thank you for this, Legsy.

WE had thought"1930s dressing-table sets, but it really doesn't feel right for that  -  it is less bright, and the green has an almost smoky tinge to it (but is definitely monochrome, not a Cloud type).

Is it a stand and supposed to have a fitted bowl on top?

[bookworm_cj]

Search me !

But thanks for the suggestion  -  it is quite possible, although if that were the case it would probably be easier to identify ? !

Are the mould lines present and prominent or virtually none existant might be handy to see the base details too. My tummy rumbled moser before not sure why.

We thought about Moser a couple of weeks ago, but it didn't seem to lead anywhere.  Another influence we have considered is Secessionist, but it doesn't seem quite elegant enough.

Will hope to add a few pictures tomorrow morning.
