    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.

    Oversize Mid-Century Decor Blenko Art Glass Jug Vase in Blenko Blue

    Mid-Century decor giant vase designed in 1965 by Blenko Art Glass, part no. 6515. Beautiful and rare Blenko blue thin necked bottle vase. Made for only 1 year. Fat ovoid bottle with thin neck and widely flared collar. Shown in Blenko’s 1965 catalog. This item was made for one year only. Scarce today.

    Weighs 4.5 lbs, measures 13.5″ tall, 9″ wide with a girth of 26″. It’s a very large bottle. It’s in excellent condition with heavy bottom-wear (bottom wear accumulates where the base of the glass meets the surface it is sitting on, and is expected on old glass). Previous owner put water inside (never a good idea, especially when the opening is so small). Luckily, there are no calcium stains. It is not water damaged. But, since it is impossible to hand-dry the inside of this bottle, you can see some drip shadows (from drip drying upside-down) if you look closely. Surprisingly, the glass is very clean inside.

    4″ wide flat collar is tilted slightly on purpose. Looks awesome with dried grasses. Blenko glass is known for its big, thick heavy glass with some air bubbles and straw marks.
