Description
1920's Durand Art Glass Candlestick. Very amazing candlestick, I've had a lot of<br>Tiffany, Steuben, etc candlesticks and they just don't come any better. 5.25"<br>tall x 4.5" wide rim with no damage or flaws.<br><br>Durand art glass was made between 1924 and 1931. Durand was the art glass<br>division of Vineland Flint Glass Works in New Jersey which was founded by Victor<br>Durand in 1897. Many of the glass artists came from the Quezal Art Glass company<br>which closed in 1924. The artists at Durand were granted a great deal of freedom<br>to produce glass in a variety of styles. Many pieces were blown using an unusual<br>yellow glass which many collectors now refer to as "Ambergris". Durand produced<br>a wide variety of art glass items including bowls, vases, perfume bottles,<br>candlesticks and lamps. Durand's art glass quickly gained fame for its beauty<br>and quality. In 1926 Durand received a medal of honor at the Sesquicentennial<br>International Exposition in Philadelphia. Sadly production ceased in 1931 when<br>Victor Durand died in an auto accident.<br><br>tw106
