Description: Description and Condition: From an old Montana estate, this pair of swirl and Russian pattern candlesticks are much sought after by collectors of American brilliant period glass. These are in perfect original condition -- I could find no issues. They are cut on heavy, water white blown blanks and are finished entirely with hand polishing. They are 10.5 inches tall, and the bases are 5.25 inches diameter. Probably made by Hoare, ca.1890-95, and unsigned as was much of the firm's glass from that early period. Hoare made some really fine early patterns using the swirl. This pattern came in two versions: the listed one here; and the other with Russian cut on the tops. Note: This pair is exceptionally brilliant! Much more so than other examples I have seen over the years. An example of this candlestick is shown in Pearson's Encyclopedia of American Cut Glass, Vol. I, page 118. Also please forgive some areas around the candle cups where I overlooked removing some candle wax from the fitters. These appear like flat dull areas when photos are magnified. The wax is easily removed. Payment, Returns and Shipping Policies: Absolutely no e-checks will be accepted!! I will accept a return as per ebay's 14-day return policy.
