Scarce Paden City Daffodil Candlestick Holders
Roaring 20’s Daffodil blush candlestick holder set. These scarce candlesticks were made by Paden City in the 1920’s-1930’s. The holders are Paden City’s line 220. The daffodil etching is rare, found on very few forms.
The Daffodil sand-blast etch on cranberry blush flashing. Remarkable good condition. The original pink/cranberry flashing (real gold used in the recipe) is nearly intact, which is unusual. There is a thin, even area of worn flash around the under/outer foot rim caused by bottom-wear (from sitting around for 90 years). Tiny bits of flash wear, pinholes, can be seen only if held to the light.
The shallow sand blast etching has a “frosted” feel, and is in original condition. No chips, scracthes or cracks. Base measures 5″ wide, holder is 3″ tall. Made for standard taper candles.
