Avocado Green Optic Glass Big Blown Goblet

Mid-Century Italian Glass Goblet Vase. Big & Beautiful. Lovely soft avocado green color with vertical optic panels.

Hand-blown with applied stem and hand-tooled ruffled rim. Thick, well-made glass with a couple of trapped air bubbles (common in mid-century blown glass). In excellent condition.

Looks awesome holding a fern or like plant. Enhances any retro modern decor, perfect for the bar. Makes a visually stunning candleholder with the optics, but never use a candle with metal on base. Old glass cannot stand high temperatures, any metal will get too hot.

Probably made in Italy in the 1950’s – 1960’s. 10.25″ tall, 7″ at widest, girth of 20″.

    Waterford Mushroom Cap Candlestick Holder by Westmoreland

    Signed Mushroom Cap Candlestick Holder

    Beautiful pink cranberry stained signed & dated candlestick holder. Made by Westmoreland Glass Co. (established in 1889 – closed in 1984). The pattern was called “Irish Waterford” or “Wakefield”. The colorless glass glows light green under blacklight. 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.

    This piece was signed by artist C. McClain 1977. An old 1970s ad for this pattern (showing this candlestick) says it is “an historic glassware of unusual charm”. Westmoreland produced this glass as exact reproductions of antique glass during the George Washington period (Victorian era).

    The candlestick holder measures 5.5″ tall on a 3 5/8″ square base and weighs 2 lbs.
