Title: I.D. Glass/Frosted Glass Candlestick
Post by: bpcollectibles on March 22, 2009, 06:23:27 PM

Hello, I purchased this candlestick this weekend and have no idea as to the maker and really don't know what to call the fish thingy. Any help is always appreciated from you experts.  TIA  brenda

I think your fish/dolphin has a French accent, and was made by Portieux-Vallerysthal, see http://chataboutdg.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=5935
