No. 11270 Olivia Medium Pressed Glass Taper Holder
So why is this in the collection? It is a reproduction of the Cambridge Glass Company’s No. 648/19 Keyhole candelabra. Unlike the Cambridge original, the bobeche on this copy is molded as a single piece with the candlestick. It was purchased at Crate and Barrel in 2012, but was originally offered by Pottery Barn. It is 6” high, with a 4 ¾” diameter base.
