Identify clear glass candlestick holders, 6 3/4 " tal, no etchings, seam on either side from glass mold.  Might be 1920's era. Looking for a match need to know how to search for one.

Mod: image rotated to prevent us getting cricked necks!

Constance, welcome to the board. I've rotated your image as members prefer them the right way up - it saves twisting to see them.  :)

I've also amended the title slightly to catch the eye of our American glass members as I suspect this is from your side of the pond rather than from Europe (although I might be wrong!) Fingers crossed someone can help soon. :)
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

It could be...I do not know anything about glassware.  My one Grandmother traveled in the 20's and brought back a lot of china, including hand painted Quimper ware from France, Wedgewood from England  and English tea cups etc...she went on cruises in the Mediterranean in the 1920's, her husband was a big deal agent for a NYC real estate firm.  Since a curator at Peebles Island New York State Restoration looked at it and thought it might be 1920's, but there are no clear markings on the base...I can feel a glob of glass with a couple of arrow like small indentations on either side of the glob...the curator could not decifer any markings.  Curator did not say if it was American..but it could be.  I work full time so it is hard for me to actually get out and hunt down one like this, which I think will be hard to do..

A search here http://chataboutdg.com/gallery/index.php using the term candle* should keep you out of mischief for a bit. Don't forget to ignore the colours as these things were often made in colours and clear
