    I found these last year and haven't been able to pin down a maker or designer, no marks. Anyone seen them before? Measure 14", 12" and 10" and the candle cups are only a 1/2" diameter. IMG_1268.JPG IMG_1270.JPG IMG_1271.JPG

    Yes, definitely bakelite, tested with simichrome.

    I wonder what that color is called?
    They have names for their colors....don't they ?

    Mottled spinach green, probably was more blue and white when new.

    I tend to think of the smaller diameter candlesticks as being Scandinavian but don't know if that is always true or not. Otherwise, I haven't a clue. Have never seen these before.

    Thanks Brad, I think I've searched every known designer from the 20's to 70's from Spain to Sweden with no luck. :)

    Are they silver plate or stainless steel?

    Here they are polished up, definitely silver plate, I polished them last year when I found them, several months later they were well tarnished.

    I'd have thought Scandinavian. They don't really look British to me. Very nice.
