Here's some information about Candlewick by Imperial Glass from the National Imperial Glass Collector's Society website:
While on a visit to New York, Newton acquired a piece of glassware from the French Cannonball line. The piece, distinguished by a series of heavy glass 'balls' around it's base, gave Newton an idea. What if the glass balls were made smaller and more delicate in nature.? From some rough drawings, a few initial pieces were made. The new items made Newton think of the edging on the Colonial-style needlework called 'candlewicking'. Patents were applied for and the first series of items were put into production. Imperial's No. 400 Candlewick was formally introduced at the Wheeling Centennial Celebration in the August of 1936.
And the rest, as they say, is the stuff of history. Candlewick quickly became a mainstay in Imperial's line-up of offerings, and proved to be one of it's strongest selling patterns. From some 40-odd items at the onset, the range of Candlewick items would exceed over 200 in the 1950's. The elegant, clear crystal pieces readily lent themselves to a wide variety of etchings, cuttings, flashing and colored pieces. Competing with such popular lines as Fostoria's 'American' and Cambridge's 'Rosepoint', Candlewick would eventually grow into Imperial's most highly sought-after pattern. Although many other lines would continue to be important to Imperial, Candlewick, together with Cape Cod, would prove strong sellers and a mainstay for the company for almost fifty years.
All items are priced per item, except for the salt & pepper shaker set. Please note the quantity discounts. If you are purchasing more than one item, please wait for invoice.
If you are buying
multiple
items,
I can offer you the biggest shipping discount if you wait to pay until after I have packed and weighed your items, because ebay and PayPal charge the seller fees based on the original price you paid for shipping, even if I refund part of your shipping cost.
I will figure out the least expensive way to safely ship your items, using USPS regional rate boxes or USPS flat rate boxes or regular USPS priority mail (or USPS first class mail for light weight items). I will also ship via FedEx or UPS if that is your preference.
The sugar bowl is about 4.25" tall and has 2 curved handles. The base is about 2 7/8" in diameter. The widest part of the sugar bowl, including the handles, is about 5 1/4".
The creamer is about 4 7/8" tall and has one curved handle.
The base is about 2 7/8" in diameter. The widest part of the creamer, including the handle, is about 4 1/2".
The desert/salad plates are about 7.25" in diameter.
There are some superficial utensil marks on some of the plates. These plates were brought out for special occasions like birthdays, so they have not been used a lot.
The metal lids on salt and pepper shaker set have corrosion. Also, the glass on the inside of the salt and pepper shakers is hazy. It could probably be cleaned if you have a small enough bottle brush.
Please note that the glasses or goblets that are priced at .99 have small chips or a small crack. Please see pictures.
