Pair of large, hand-painted French glass vases, made by Legras, a contemporary of Daum of Nancy, France (Legras enameled vases look similar to Daum Nancy vases in their scenic motifs). The large vases are 16 1/2 inches (42 cm) and 16 1/4 inches (41,5 cm) tall respectively (matched pair of hand-made glass items typically have slight variations in sizes). The bottom diameter of each vase is 5 1/2 inches (14 cm)...
A fine pair of 19th century clambroth glass candle holders. Stout but elegant baluster turned sticks with broad, stable feet. Fine and practical decorative accents. The reference to clambroth says it all - the milky glass almost translucent (more so toward the foot - see second illustration) with opaque bubbles throughout. Good condition. These are probably pretty early and likely not common to fetch a pair. Would be a refreshing "stand in" for brass in period interior...

The base is marked, 'B & H' (not to be confused with Bradley & Hubbard), which is an exceptionally rare early Handel mark (please refer to the 'handellamps.com' website) - see second-last picture. Initially, it used to be an oil lamp that was converted to electricity...

They are hand blown with a wide polished pontil on the base. The shape is elegant with six panels to the shaft...

Known by many names and made by many companies,
