Up for auction is ONE PAIR OF VINTAGE WESTMORELAND FLORAL CUT GREEN GLASS CANDLE HOLDERS # 1921 LOTUS PATTERN BOTHIN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I am told that Westmoreland began this "Lotus" Pattern to capitaloize upon the discovery and opening of King Tut's
Tomb in Egypt in 1921. Each measures 5 1/4 inches across the widest part of the base, and stands almost 3 inches tall. I am also told that these
candle holders were made from a very early mold during its production because the newer and later models had a much higher "domed" foot,
according to Gene Florence's Depression Glass Book 18th Edition on page 118. Each candle holder has a gorgeous circle of cut glass flowers and
stems and leaves that completely encircle the bases. These candle holders comes from a bye-gone era when American manufacturing was still
an "art", as can be seen from the gorgeously designed "Lotus Flower" in the photographs.
Although they were purchased from an old estate sale on Long Island and were pre-owned, they both are in perfect condition, as seen in the photographs. Both the petals forming the base, as well as the
petals comprising the candle holders on top are all in pristine condition, with absolutely not a single chip or nick or "flea bite" anywhere on them.
I found them sitting inside a closed dining room cabinet where it sat on a shelf for many years and were hardly used, because I don't see any scratches anywhere on them, especially on the bottom, where they would be expected to be found. I have been collecting unusual vintage objects for many years, and always try to describe the items as best as I can. I don't see any scratches, chips, fleabites, cracks, stains, cloudiness, or repairs anywhere on these crystal candle holders. They come from a smoke-free home.
