Description

Clear, bubbly, slightly olive-green glass. The candlestick stands on a wide convex foot with a folded rim and a pontil mark in the centre. The stem is formed by four hollow knops of different shapes and sizes, at the top of which is a cylindrical nozzle with a wavy trail round its lower edge and another round its rim. The knops and nozzle open into each other
