    Was looking for some help with this. It's about 10" tall. Unusual milky blue color which is semi-transparent. resizedaDSC01065_(1).jpg resizeaDSC01066_(1).jpg

    I had a Portieux Vallerysthal reaction to it at first sight, but wrong, wrong, wrong.

    Thanks. I thought so as well. It's a similar blue. I had searched that for candlesticks and couldn't find anything similar.

    There's something that bothers me a bit about this stick. Besides the color the mixture of sharp angles and round shapes strikes me as a bit disjointed. Almost ecclesiastical until you look at the candle cup and the round bottom. Just my opinion - throwing it out there in case it's worth a discussion.

    The top interior is almost two inches. It may have had a tin insert.

    There is something here, somewhere, that I think was my mother's and has the same matt turquoise glass. I keep trying to remember what the object is, though, and nada...

    Hi Stephen,
    I have a pair exactly like that that have been in my family.
    I would like to learn where they were made and when.
    Do you have any recent information?
    Mine do indeed have tin inserts.
    I have not seen opaque glass that is quite that rough and granular before.
    Do you know a name for this particular type of glass?
    Thank you!

    I just tried to add a picture of them and was not able to.
    If you would like to see them I could text a photo to your phone or FB message you.

    I can't support this, but I want to say its' from New England, not the company but the geographic area. Ca 1940.

    My typo, (It had to happen, I'm so ...never mind)
    Should have been 1840 Nineteenth century not Twentieth.
