Libbey Knickerbocker Blown Glass Candlestick Candle Holder Square Base Pair 1940

  

Vintage Libbey Glass Square-Base Candle Holders - Pair. Up for sale is a stunning pair of authentic vintage Libbey mouth-blown glass candle holders from the Knickerbocker collection. These are not your standard modern votives; they are substantial, "prestige" grade pieces from Libbey's Mid-Century production era (circa 1940s).

Featuring a bold, geometric midcentury or Brutalist influence, these holders transition from a perfectly square, thick base into a rounded, polished rim. The clarity of the glass is exceptional, providing a brilliant glow when lit.

Collector's Details & Authenticity. Maker's Mark: One holder features the original acid-etched Libbey script logo inside a circle on the base. Substantial Weight: Each holder weighs a massive 26 oz (1.6 lbs). Together, the pair weighs over 3 lbs of solid glass. Fire-Polished Finish: Unlike mass-produced modern glass, these have no visible mold lines, indicating they were fire-polished for a seamless, high-gloss surface.

These holders are in excellent vintage condition. There are no chips, cracks, flea bites, or clouding ("sick glass"). Note on Base: The undersides exhibit heavy, authentic shelf wear/abrasions. For the collector, this is a desirable "badge of age" that confirms these are genuine vintage pieces and not modern reproductions.
