Viking Bluenique Taperglow Candle Vase Set
Vintage Viking Art Glass # 1192 Epic Bluenique Taperglow candle vase set. Gorgeous! Using thick, lovely glass in Viking’s patented “Bluenique” color, these Taperglow candle vases were hand blown from a mold with a polished base rim. It was a versatile design that was made to display flowers as well as hold full-sized taper candles.
The Taperglow candle vase was made in 1958 to early 1960’s. Viking Art Glass began in 1901 in New Martinsville, West Virginia, USA, as the New Martinsville Glass Company. In 1944 the company was renamed Viking Glass. Their use of color in their glassware was what they became known for. Their line include everything from glass for the boudoir and lamps, to smoking and liquor sets, and included tableware and decorative art glass designs.
In the late 1950’s, Viking featured modern shapes and designs, such as this “Epic” Taperglow line. It was shown in “Living for Young Homemakers” in April 1958, which describes it as “…tall, graceful, envied and modern” and in “The Gift & Art Buyer” Feb. 1958 which states “Designed to appeal to the woman who likes to do exciting entertaining.”
These Taperglow candle vases are in excellent condition. They measure 16.5″ tall and weigh 2.2 lbs. each.[color-box]More About Viking Art Glass[/color-box]
