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.
