From the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in a collaboration with Imperial Glass comes this beautiful pair of Aquamarine colored Candlesticks. They are considered Limited Edition. A reproduction of 1860's Candlesticks by Boston & Sandwich Glass Company. Imperial Glass was a quality glass maker which the M.M.A commissioned to reproduce original Boston & Sandwich pieces to exacting standards.
Each Candlestick weighs - 2.6 lbs
10 3/4" Tall,
4" Base.
Beautiful in their own right, even without any history. We see very little American glass here is AUS. Dean is this company still in production?
Sincere thanks to Blunderbuss2, Caperkid, Fortapache and Ivonne for the "Love it" clicks.
@ Karen: I think Imperial closed their doors sometime in the 80's.
The Imperial Glass Company, Founded in 1901, began production in 1904. Factory located in Bellaire, Ohio. Worldwide sales. Imperial Glass fell upon hard times in the early 70's, when it was then saved by Lenox Corporation. Imperial closed it's doors in 1984. The Factory building was demolished in 1995. On the site now stands the "National Imperial Glass Museum" and is part of the National Register.
