Westmoreland Candle Holder Cut Crystal
It’s Wednesday when I usually post a tablescape as part of Susan’s Tablescape Thursday but not this week. I just got home from a few days in Philadelphia and we need to leave for church in a few minutes.
Instead of seeing a full table of crystal, how about this unusual Westmoreland crystal candle holder? I got this at an estate sale and was taken with the curved side pieces and interesting flower cut. It would look splendid on a table with sparkling crystal and china. Those faceted arms would glow with the candle light.
According to my candle book there are a few variations on this. Some have cuttings. Some do not. They vary in height and the exact shape of the base and top. When my glass books talk about patterns that were made a long time or pieces like this that were popular enough that the companies made variations I’m always puzzled why the glass is not more common. This is the only set of these candle holders I’ve seen.
We’re offering a pair of these as a set in our store Cat Lady Kate’s Elegant and Depression Glass. Shopping with us is like antiquing with your best friend.
