Mid-Century Pressed Glass 'Diamond Point' Candlesticks

Story

The pineapple-like motif seen in the center of these stems has been the international symbol of hospitality since the 17th century, when the rare fruit was often rented out as a centerpiece for a single night.

Maker / Origin

The Indiana Glass Company, founded in 1907, became a titan of the American glass industry by mastering the art of 'pressed' glass.

Condition & Value

The glass appears clear without significant 'sick glass' clouding or mineral deposits. The edges of the square bases are the most vulnerable spots for 'flea bites' or small chips, though none are glaringly obvious in the photos.
