kisslinger kristal - Candlestick (2) - Alexandrite glass

This is a beautiful vintage set of sculptural double candle holders in purple lead crystal, designed in a distinctive modernist organic style or a "half-moon" shape. They are handcrafted by the renowned Austrian glass house Kisslinger Kristallglas from Rattenberg (Tyrol). The candle holders are made of high-quality violet-colored crystal glass and each accommodates two dinner candles. Thanks to the mirror-image, flowing design, they can be arranged in various decorative configurations opposite or next to one another. What is notable about the purple variant is that neodymium glass (also known as alexandrite glass) was often used. This type of glass changes color depending on the light: under natural daylight or halogen light it appears elegant lilac or purple, while under fluorescent lighting or certain artificial light it can take on a bluish tint. In excellent condition; the last photo clearly shows the color change under different light. Carefully packed, insured, shipped with tracking.

Estimate:£0.83
