Description

A candle holder by Pukeberg, Sweden, dating from the 1970s. This is a warming, Autumn/Winter piece in amber glass for tealights rather than candle sticks, I would think. The glass is quite thick & so the holder is on the heavy side, all of which is reassuring & characteristic of modernist Scandinavian glass output. I am saying this is a candle holder because I have seen two others listed as such, but when I first found it, I thought it was a decorative bowl or table centrepiece that you could fill with whatever took your fancy. It does make sense for it to be a candle holder, but multi-purpose is an option. No damage, but the a trace of wear an inch from rim on the inside. There is a slight watermark (or what looks like a watermark) that goes all the way round showing up now & again. It is only noticeable on scrutiny & under bright light. I have taken a gruesome close-up under harsh sunlight, which apart from every speck of dust, shows the blurry line. Measuring 15cm tall & 10.5cm across the top.
