Title: drape candle holder - Czech perhaps? ID = Viking Glass #1198 Epic Crimped
Post by: cubby01 on October 06, 2010, 03:25:48 PM

Off chance anyone recognizes these?  3-1/2 inches tall, 8 inches across at their widest.  Triangular, with two corners up and one corner extended out as if for a handle.  Made for a taper type candle.  Ground and polished base.

They remind me of some which were done by Karel Konak - maybe Jindrich can confirm... I'll tweak the topic title to catch his eye.

Thanks Anne!  I was thinking perhaps Scandinavian but Czech would not surprise me.

I could be wrong Cubby! :) Let's see what Jindrich or bOBA think...

I believe this was made by Viking Glass, USA and is the #1198 Epic Crimped, 1957 to maybe 1975.

Thank you Janice!
I really appreciate the ID.  Viking does not surprise me at all.  I don't have ready access to Viking catalogs and I haven't been able to find another example online yet - I like to see it with a label or in a catalog myself but now I know what to look for.  Thanks!
