These are three stylish glass candle holders designed by the British glass maestro Frank Thrower (1932 - 1987). He is certainly at present a most undervalued British designer. He was the chief designer for Dartington Glass from the time it was founded in 1966 until he died in 1987.
On offer here and the three pieces of glass that Wedgwood issued in the 1980s. The first item is called Arthur. It is in the midnight colour and is very tall coming in at 10 1/2 inches. It is very similar to other candlesticks made by Stennett Wilson at this time. These are rare survivors as the tall stem is very very fragile - and they were frequently snapped. My one comes in its original box. It is pristine - but box is only in fair condition - but it is hard to find these pieces and all boxed. It is priced at £25.
The box says that the all originally came with a candle - but this candle has long since been lost.
The second piece of crystal glass is called Diana. Again, it is a very delicate piece - and comes with the original box. It is inches in height. The sconce to hold the candle in is tulip-shaped. It is just over 6 inches in height. This piece is offered by me at £15.
The last one is the Rory Candle Holder. It consists of a black glass base - and you place a thick stumpy candle on here or a tealight. The flame of the candle would be contained within the glass ball which rests on the base section. There is a Wedgwood sticker on the black base. It measures 6 3/4 in height and at the widest part is 5 inches. This is on offer at £15.
So the grand total is £55 for all three pieces. I have taken lots of images for your inspection.
The simple pared-down graphics on the boxes certainly indicate Thrower's fine minimal style. Thrower pieces can only be anticipated to increase in price, so snap up a bargain now.
These two pieces will be sent to you with Royal Mail Recorded (Small Parcel). This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
