Lot 357:
A Pair of Ruby Red Hobnail Glass Candlestick Holders
Sold for: $20
Description
A matching pair of ruby red pressed glass candlestick holders featuring an all-over hobnail pattern, attributed to the Fenton Art Glass Company. These pieces are characteristic of mid-20th-century American decorative glass, featuring a flared and ruffled rim on the candle cup, a bulbous textured stem, and a wide, domed base. The material is a deep, translucent ruby red glass. Under ultraviolet light, the glass exhibits a vibrant orange-yellow fluorescence, which confirms the presence of cadmium and/or selenium as coloring agents. There are no manufacturer marks, labels, or signatures visible on either item.
Dimensions: Approximately 3.5 inches height x 4.25 inches base diameter.
Condition report:
Both candlestick holders are in good vintage condition. No chips, cracks, or fractures were observed. The glass retains high clarity and surface luster with minimal signs of handling consistent with age.
