Dartington Crystal ‘The Candlelamp II’ FT379 in Plain

This is a simple yet elegant candleholder, designed by Frank Thrower for Dartington Crystal. The candlelamp comes in two pieces. There is a globular ‘shade’ that tapers in at the top and the bottom to form a galleried rim. The lower ‘stand’ is of short cylindrical form with a thickened base. There is a broad discoid collar at the junction with the short solid stem. The foot is plain and slightly domed in the centre. Each piece bears the original Dartington gold sticker. It has a maximum height of approximately 21.7cm, with a diameter across the rim of the shade of about 7.5cm and across the base of about 8.8cm. It is in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
