This heavy, pressed art glass candleholder was made in Sweden, possibly at the Pukeberg glassworks, in the 60's or 70's. Weighing 2kg (4lb 4oz) and with a diameter of 16cm (6.25 inches) and a height of 6.5cm (2.5 inches), the glassware can support candles of various sizes in varying quantities.
Up to 12 narrow candles can be supported between the petal-shaped wedges at the outer margins of the glass. Alternatively up to six slightly wider candles can be supported slightly further towards the centre, in the gaps between the tips of the smaller petal shapes and the sides of the larger petals. Or a single larger candle with a diameter approaching 5cm (2 inches) can be supported in the centre of the glass.
And finally, the glass can be turned over to form a level platform for a very large candle. The candleholder is in excellent condition with no damage.
