Heya!
I'm sure I've seen a discussion about a lamp base like this somewhere online, but I can't seem to find it. Anyway, it's labeled "Bohemia Glass - Made in Czechoslovakia" and it's definetly NOT a candlestick that has been redesigned. I'm absolutely sure this isn't a homemade lamp base. Does anyone know anything more about it? Is it a Jurnikl design? Which factory made these? etc.
Best Regards

Hi Emil, can you please send me some more pictures of this piece to my Ceskoslovenske sklo web email, I will start investigation.
Thank you

That same base shows up here:

I wonder if that is where you saw it.
EDIT: Oops, no I am wrong, those were candle holders. Nevermind.

Emil, what materials are the stem and bulb holder made from?
How is the top of the glass base finished? It looks like it would 'normally' be the base (bird bath base)?

Hi ppl!
Hmmm, I'm not so sure anymore it's not a candlestick after all :thud:
I could have sworn the "Hobnail" candlestick was much smaller, but the measurements seems to be right and the bottom and hollow base does remind somewhat of the candlesticks in the "Moravia" range.
Here are some more pictures anyway...The stem is wood and the holder is a regular plastic holder.
Best Regards

I found another one of these, there's no way that's a coincidence!

Emil, perhaps they were made for a retailer in Sweden, given that they've not surfaced elsewhere (yet!)?

Definetly possible. There's also a cheese plate with Swedish words on it so evidently there were products made specifically for a certain region.

Emil, the topic about the cube candlesticks has relevance to this as well I think:

Perhaps, but I do want to point out that the ones I've found aren't copies or imitations.

Thank you Anne,
the same I had on mind so I directly asked Honza, who is more familiar with lamps design, for his comments.
He has answered directly, but later he had omitted his reply and now he is strugling.
I still keep the option that the glass piece had been made in Sklo Union and sold as basis for lamps sold to Germany open.
Let we wait for Honzas' oppinopn.

I bought one of these in an Emmaus Brocki in Switzerland a couple of years ago.
Looking through the base, it's just the standard candleholder with a chromed, flanged stem glued onto the top (i.e. not into the candle socket). The bit that holds the bulb is black plastic, and screws into the chrome tube. The glass hasn't been drilled at all.
It makes a great lamp. Heavy and stable.
