Title: antique glass dish set
Post by: JoshandLila on September 18, 2011, 06:03:57 PM

Hello again folks. I got this dish set passed down to me and I know little to nothing about it. no makers mark but I figure the style is probably a signature to someone on here. Im assuming its 40's to 50's but Im not sure. Thanks in advance for any info!!

I think it was called "Candlewick" Glass. It came in several ways. They had a Caramel Slag color and their were some that had etching.It was made by "Imperial Glass Co. I 'll look at your pieces and try to calculate the value.

Could you please measure the size so I can tell with the bowl and tray. The sugar and creamer and tray is worth about $50.00 and I until I know the sizes I can't say.

The bowl is $12.00, the pickle tray is about $18.00 I didn't seem to find a 7" tray, There's a 7in plate.for $10.00 I could be off so let's hear what ironlord or mart has to say.

     I was going to jump in on this one but greenacres beat me and covered it nicely.  The only thing I might add is candlewick stuff is hot, I have had only a couple of items and they sold quick.  Lots of it on Ebay though so compition can be a bit high.

Just to add a few pointers....Candlew ick is still a popular pattern and I foresee that it will continue to increase in value as time goes on.  (From the past record of it.)

This isn't one that was copied to pieces like some patterns have been by various companies....which makes it more liked and collectible by many!
