This rare vintage Art Deco tealight holder made of thick, crystal-clear pressed glass is a gem from the 1920s-1930s. Likely made in Bohemia.
Important detail: Hollow inside – not a solid block of glass, but deliberately pressed with an open central cavity. This isn't a flaw, but pure ingenious design! A standard tealight fits perfectly in the cavity (the flame is low and safe between the four upright "turrets").
Creates a magical light effect: the flame shines through the thick facets and the classic fan/sun motif, filling the room with warm, dancing reflections.
Also ideal as a tea warmer: place your glass teapot on top – the candle will keep everything warm without direct contact with the flame.
Why this piece is so special:
- Authentic pressed glass: heavy, crystal-clear, and with that typical Art Deco relief (stacked blocks + radiant fan pattern in the center).
- Octagonal base for stability.
-Beautifully preserved: no chips, scratches, or damage visible.
-Multifunctional: atmospheric candle holder, warm stand, or collector's item.
