Description
The Grand Antique Mall, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, presents aPAIR of ROOKWOOD Candlestick Holders, each with 2 lyrical handles
. Cerulean Blue. Matt finish. Dated 1924. Their mold number, 2661, was originally created and casted by Kataro Shirayamadani. The finisher’s mark (bottom, under date) is that of Ewan. Each holder is 7.5”H. Base Diameter=4.25”. WT of PAIR=1.70 lbs. Very Good ++ Condition. No chips, cracks or repairs noted. Kiln glaze line on the bottom of 1 holder cannot be seen unless turned upside-down. Wheel-ground X scored through the glaze indicates the piece was removed from sales, either because the piece was excellent and was to be displayed, or because the piece was chosen for advertising purposes. An X may also indicate the glaze did not work as expected, though such an explanation is more than likely not the case, as the pair are in excellent condition, glaze included.
