Reims glass candle holder

Here is a pair of pretty candlesticks that will embellish your table for the holidays! They are made of molded glass with a beautiful transparency and a lovely shine, with many facets that reflect the light. So much so that you might think it was crystal. Below, you can see the words reims and france. This is "reims glass" from the famous vmc (verreries mécaniques champenoises) factory, whose origins date back to 1911. I'll let you discover this fascinating story that lasted until 2009 when the factory finally closed, on the website of the "association pour le patrimoine industriel de champagne-ardenne". Thanks to their particular shape on the inside, thin at the bottom, wider at the top, they can hold long, thin candles, as well as wider candles (diameter up to 4.5 cm) or even tea lights. And they have even sometimes been diverted into egg cups! They probably date from the 70s. They are in perfect condition, no chips, no chips, not even scratches! They measure 6.5 cm in height, 7 cm in width.
