I acquired this small candle holder yesterday at boot sale. I thought it had some style so set about the web with the usual gusto. Sadly I have drawn a blank on an attrbution. I have come across a few of them, mostly blue and one in a dusky pink. Two of the attributions are for 2 different Czech glassmakers and quote different designers. I believe both of these may be incorrect. They also claim it is reversible so that it could be used as a vase, as the base is simply ground it was clearly not designed to be used in that way.  I also came across a couple for sale in Denmark, one of which had an applied logo for a Danish Institution, so I'm leaning towards it being Danish, possibly Holmegaard, or at least Scandinavian. Anyone recognise it?

It stands 12.5cm tall, 9cm maximum width at the base, 5.5cm maximum depth at the base, the top is roughly 5.5cm square and it wighs 400g.

Thank you in anticipation.

Stylistically it is much more Czech than Scandinavian.
