Pair of Mid-20th Century Triple-Moulded Pink Glass Candlesticks

This is a pair of charming, pressed glass candlesticks, maker unknown, but dating to the mid-20th century.

The candlesticks are made from pale pink glass that has been shaped in a three-part mould. These mould lines are visible within the design.

The pan-shaped top has a depression in the centre for the insertion of a candle. This is joined to the stem with a short, plain, wasited section. The stem is broad, but curved inwards at the centre. There is a further plain, waisted section that surmounts a bulbous section on the top of the discoid foot. The latter is hollow and unmarked.

The candlesticks are moulded with a radiating, bulbous motif that makes them appear lobed around their edges.

Each candlestick has a height of approximately 22.2cm, with a diameter across the rim of about 7.5cm and across the foot of about 10.0cm.

They have an unwrapped weight of 1000g.

They are in good condition, with no chips or cracks. These pieces are mass-produced, and as such, bear several flaws and inclusions. There is roughness along the mould lines, particularly at the edges of the rim. There is some roughness to the underside of one foot, along the edge, and some rough speckling to the glass underneath. There are also enclosed bubbles and frit, which are manufacturing artefacts. These flaws do not detract from the charm of the pieces, and I mention them for the sake of completion.
