Topic: Blue, hollow, pressed glass candle stick holder - help with maker please.

[peejyweejy]

Any idea of maker and/or age please -I  have looked at Anne's and Pamela's sites and been searching the net all day - no results as yet.  

Ooops...forgot - there is a tiny, impressed number 3 inside the rim where the candle sits, hard to photograph!

We had something like this posted on the board a long while back... I can't recall what it was determined to be now, but a search might produce a result. :thup:

This is found in clear glass too.
Funny, I wouldn't have paid any attention to it if I hadn't read this topic earlier - I just saw it on a fleamarket yesterday.  (priced 1e)

Is there an expression in English for this kind of dual use vase ? If you google "kääntömaljakko" in Finnish you get candle stick holders that can be used upside down as a vase. Usually designed in the 60's for example Tamara Aladin's "Carmen" and Oiva Toikka's "Kastehelmi".

No special expression. "Dual use" will do.

The Czechs did quite a lot of these, which is what I think this is.   
Looks like good quality crystal and the faux "prunts" make me think 80s or 90s.
"impressed number 3" - could mean that it's part of a set, perhaps graduated.

Thank you all for your comments - I actually have a pair of these, the other has the impressed mark - 1.3 - so I assume this could mean "one of three". Wonder what the missing piece is???
