I think this is vintage, the label looks like it. It´s a dark purple press glass candle holder. The label is not intact so I don´t know what it is. Does anyone know this label? It looks like if it used to say "Japan".
Would love to get som more of these so I need to know what it is. Thanks for help!

I would like to know, too, as I have one exactly like it! I have a lot, actually, in different colours, but only one purple...
Wow jensen! I also want a lot of these! In the evenings they make such a nice light. Do you have a lable on yours? In Sweden the glassworks Reijmyre made a model similar to this called "Pärlan" meaning Pearl. But this is not it, as I wrote I think it´s marked Japan. Thankyou for your coment! Please post yours if you haven't already. Would like to see them :-)
Thanks to you pops52!
Thank you Phil and aghcollect!!
Thanks again Vetraio50 and Geo26e!
Thank you Sean for stopping by and 'loving' my things :-)
Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of them, but perhaps I should take some in my next 'photo session'. I have them in green, cobalt blue, light blue, grey, red, amber, yellow, and milky white. They red/amber/yellow ones have different colour tones (they are not all the same colour) which is very charming. They are not all exactly the same size so I assume they were manufactured in different places, although I have never been able to find out where - now when I have searched for Reijmyre and Pärlan, I am sure that some of the are from there!
Thanks jensen, Racer4four, Moonstonelover21, petey and Mikelv85!!
Thanks PatSea!
Thankyou CindB!
Katherine thanks!
very similar votives were made by different glass makers in several countries. The label looks familiar but I'm drawing a blank on the maker. Maybe try moving the label image to the first slot so more CW viewers get a look at the label; perhaps someone will notice.
Thanks Tallcakes, it's a good idea. I'll do that at home by my computer.
I'm sorry I missed this Elisabethan.
Definitely Japanese, 60s, and although I don't know for sure the maker I suspect they were made by Tajima Glass. They made a great deal of pressed glass and lots of it was sold to import/export companies who labelled them.
I don't know this label but it may have been one specific say to the US or Germany or wherever.
The base and size is similar to other candle holders I have seen that have a different external finish.
Sorry I can't give any more!
I have one, in amber. Thanks for info, no label left on mine.
