Topic: Venetian, Italian? light weight candle stick id help please?

[chriss]

Hi
I have a light (about 120g) and quite thin glass candle stick standing 9 and a half inches tall with a hollow stem that has trails of coloured glass applied to the outer surface in a spiral fashion to the stem (I don't know if this is lampworked?). It is probably top heavy so totally unfit for purpose I would think, but quite pretty. Is this a Venetian or Italian glass piece please and if so, does anyone know the age and maker and any other info please? Thanks for your help

Hi Criss,
I vote Thuringian / Lauscha; you´ll find a lot of similar things on ebay.de. Datewise they are not easy to place, because they made similar shapes
over decades. So ca. 50´s to 90´s - err...
