Very Rare Northwestern European Hand-Blown Glass Candlestick, possibly Liege, Belgium or Nuremberg, Germany, Circa 1680

Not surprisingly given their fragile nature, few 17th century glass candlesticks survive. A related example is in the collection of the Kunstmuseum Den Haag and is illustrated in Journal of Glass Studies, vol 9, 1967, The Corning Museum of Glass, no. 35 and Jonathan Bourne and Vanessa Brett, Lighting in the Domestic Interior: Renaissance to Art Nouveau, (London: Philip Wilson Publishers Limited, 1991), p. 25, no. 45.
