These pieces have so many things going on. They were bought as candlesticks but they look like they were used as bud vases. The insides have some dried, stuck leaves and I cannot figure how to get out because opening is very tiny. They are ruffled at the top, the bottom has five leaves in the shape of a star. The last picture has a tiny chip on the leaf. Didn't notice when I bought them, but I love them anyway. They are green and vaseline glass with silver infused flecks throughout. Extremely delicate. Would love to know the year, but couldn't find anything close to these. They measure 6 3/4" x 4" and they have rough pontils.
These look Victorian, & most likely Bohemian, or maybe English, rather than Murano...1880s - 1890s perhaps.
