Help With Identifying Arts & Crafts Candlestick
« on: April 05, 2022, 11:38:58 AM »
Hello, I wonder if anyone can help identify this unusual Arts & Crafts Candlestick. It is quite delicate and is in perfect condition. It is 23cm tall. Underside of base has numerous small scratches making me wonder if it was once glued in place. Unfortunately, no maker's mark.  From the style and quality I think it is old. Any advice gratefully received. Thank you, David

Hi David,
Welcome to the board. My gut instinct, for what it's worth, is that it's quite modern (1980-present day) by a modern glass artist. Certainly not Arts & Crafts period. But I have no idea who might have made it.
Best wishes,
Ian

Thanks, Ian. It could well be modern, I wasn't sure how to date.  I've just not seen any like it for sale on the web which I would have thought would be the case if it was produced during the last few decades. If you find out any more let me know. Thanks again, David
