Topic: Transparent charcoal gray candlesticks - ID = Leerdam

[cagney]

  Assumed to be probable Scandinavian, but zero luck in identifying as to who made these. Delved pretty deep on the internet, still zero.

  Seem to be an updated version of a traditional design with bobeches incorporated in the candlestick rather than a mid-century modern design. They have all the attributes of being hand blown but no pontil mark. Very well made and a small difference in the amount of glass used between the two, one slightly more than the other. Looked everywhere, hardernet.dk, museums and so many other places I couldn't count them all. Any help much appreciated as I really like these.

Looks like they may be Dutch and a Copier design for Leerdam....

 Thank you so much. I checked all the Scandinavian countries, Germany  and U.S.A., forgot the Netherlands. How could I? Anyway very happy to have a source. Thanks again.

You're welcome, happy to help.

Confirmation for when the link eventually dies, shown on page 413 of Complete Copier by Joan Temminck and Laurens Geurtz described as Candlestick holder, h 200mm, KN2152/KN2313.

Nice to still have the pair.

  Appreciate the item specifics, thanks. The pair are in an excellent state of preservation. Could pass for new except for some very minimal base ware. I feel lucky to have found them. $5.00 U.S. at the local thrift store.

  It took your experience with glass and your ability to recognise quality to have spotted them.
It's not all down to luck. But what a joyful thing to experience.
