Topic: Thorn vase 5 piece set

Great find Leni,
I too have wondered about glass chains....
A nice example of the curved rod design is illustrated in the book "The Elegant Epergne". There is a lovely "maypole" design epergne with the central vase linked to a series of smaller ones via curved rods.
If you haven't got this book it is highly recommended as it shows a drool-worthy collection of epergnes of all kinds, in the equally sumptuous settings of their very wealthy owner. Totally to-die-for!

...   For glass chain you could also try the chandelier spares shop, junction of West Walls and West Street, Wareham, Dorset.   ...

Alas no more.   Summer 2009 had been emptied, cleaned up and decorated, with a To Let sign in the window.   There are few junk shops left.   This shop had fond memories.   It was where I bought my ornamental Walsh epergne block (see the registered design pages in Gulliver) — a bit chipped, but the only one I've ever seen.   And also where I bought a proper glass sweet jar half full of marbles.
