This is evidence of Manganese, which will turn shades of purple if left in direct, prolonged sunlight. Gold was used in the stain recipe, it can be seen on the signature when studied under bright light. Gold was necessary to produce the dark pinkish red color. The candlestick holder was made with a 4-part mold from heavy glass with wavy straw marks.
