Title: Candle holders ? Signed to base.
Post by: selina on August 20, 2007, 12:29:47 PM

This is the 2nd item bought on the weekend. I think they are candle holders but they would only hold thin candles. Ive shown the 2 initials on the bases, both ways as I cant figure out the correct way  :-\

They are 4cm high x 5cm wide.

Thanks Max and Christine :) Yes that definitely looks like them and now Ive learnt something new about Orrefors. I never knew about the OF being used. I will keep my eye out for future items now. :)
