Add Romance with Vintage Candle Holders
Charming depression glass candle holders
When you want some romance, what do you do? Light a candle. Here are a few candle holders from the depression glass makers to consider for vintage warmth and style.
First, one of my favorites, I love the cactus shape!

Most Oyster and Pearl depression glass is pink or clear, but Hocking did make this interesting candle holder also in opaque white with green, pink, blue. This was one of the very first pieces of depression glass we had.

It’s fun to think about the family that owned your glass first. Did they use the candle holders at Christmas? Or maybe to add a touch of class to the Sunday dinner? We don’t know. We can start our own family traditions this year and use our vintage candle holders to make meals special.
Hazel Atlas made a few candle holders such as this Florentine yellow holder.

As far as I know the only depression glass candle holder that Federal made is Madrid.

Old English, or Threading, is an early pattern from Indiana made mostly in amber and green. This is quite an elegant looking pattern with a lot of style.
