Douglas Nash Libbey Camel Candle Holder Opalescent Art Glass 1933 Ex Tiffany

About the Item

Douglas Nash left Tiffany for Toledo, Ohio and and Libbey Glass company where his Silhouette glassware line was the height of fashion in the 1930's. The opalescent stemware and serving items were just what was needed to chase the Depression era blues away. The camel candleholder is seldom encountered on the market and this one is in perfect original condition. It's hard to capture the milky opalescence of the camel, so look at the photos closely to see how wonderful this on is. The foot and bowl are blown and the stems were molded and you can see tiny bubbles and the tool marks is you look closely. Nash Silhouette line was the perfect blend of the use of machinery and hand craft to create art deco masterpieces.

    The Zodiac pen tray is a fantastic holiday gift for the Cancer or Pisces who loves Tiffany, Arts and Crafts or simply fine living. Designed for pens over a century ago, the functions today can be endless. This examples is well cast and retains a fair amount of the original patina. The surface is a lovely mottled brown and black finish and there is significant red and green patina underneath where it was not exposed to UV light over the past century. The detail shots show the quality of the cast clearly and the markings of Tiffany Studios 1000. There is minor overall wear and modest scratching from both use and from cleaning.
