<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 11536776, member: 308"]Lovely! For what it's worth they are not giving me a Waterford vibe. As for use - I suppose it's possible the base is actually a candleholder for a pillar candle. Another thought is that the two pieces were originally glued together and the glue gave out at some point in time. I've had that happen. Some American pressed glass companies, rather than create one mold, multipurposed molds by using a candleholder mold as a base and then glued a piece from another mold on top, maybe a vase or bowl. Really, I suppose, you could glue any number of shapes to the base. I'd be nervous too using them the way they are. I bump into my tables all the time and I can just see it toppling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
