PEILL + PUTZLER ALEXA CANDLESTICK

This candlestick is a large item. It is 29 cm high or 11.4 inches! The shape interested me when I first saw it a few years back. It was very much in the style of the Jetson's! It is marked with the etched mark for Peill und Putzler and I have seen it in one of their 1970's catalogues. The range is called "Alexa" and there is another version called "Air".
"Table and cut glass was made in Duren in Germany from 1903 by Peill & Sohn. Gebruder Putzler in Silesia made light fittings. After the Second World War, Gebruder Petzler merged with Peill & Sohn to form Peill & Putzler. During the 1950's the company specialized in tableware and pendant lamps. In the 1960's Horst Tuselmann designed art glass for them, which had metallic inclusions within the body of the vases and bowls. They also made knobby glass and glass with surface patterns in relief. The factory closed in 1997. The trade name exists and some lighting is still produced."
