Title: ID Candle holder
Post by: Don521 on December 19, 2015, 10:00:28 PM
Hiya!

Could you folks help me identify the Flower Candle holder piece in the pictures?

I'm trying to replace the second red one as a gift to a friend that broke it. Could you also point me to where I would be able to purchase it?

Hello Don521,

Welcome...  Are there any markings or initials anywhere on the bottom of the candle holder?  Below is a link to a site that has hand-blown Murano glass candle holders... Maybe you can inquire with them?    Lori

Hiya! Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, I did not see any markings when I was taking the pictures.
I will look at the supplied site though and see what I can muster up.

No luck with that site.
Anyone else got ideas?

Thanks a ton for the reply as well as your time!

While similar, these pieces are not the same. The stand for the ones I'm looking for is actually part of the flower petal.

It might still be worth emailing Muranonet and asking if they can pin down the maker of yours. They may have relevant local knowledge that will help you. Good luck. :)

Hi Don,

With my moderator hat on ...

Would it be ok for me to convert your photos to "attachments" to your original post? This will make sure that the images remain visible to viewers even if your image hosting site loses them or the URLs change. Also it provides easier viewing for many people as the attachments will be clickable thumbnails and the full size versions will display either in the post or in a pop-up window, depending on actual size.

I can easily do this by taking copies, cropping and compressing, without losing any visible quality of the originals, and then adding them as attachments into the original post.

Thanks for your input! I think I may indeed try this. Sounds like a good idea.

Of course! Not a problem.
