I was going to suggest, "Deerwood", also known as "Birch Tree" by U.S. Glass, which was made in pink, but that would have been too easy: just not enough of the Birch Tree in this one, and then there are those medallions...I've been in this position myself, with a black amethyst piece; it's interesting, if frustrating and challenging; I wish you luck, & will get back with you if I find it. Happy Hunting!

Please show us a few photos of the candlestick in its entirety, not just the base, because it might be easier to ID it based upon its shape. The gold decorations on glass were largely done by outside decorationg companies on glass blanks supplied to them by the various manufacturers, and not in-house by the glass makers themselves. Fostoria is one exception, and your candlestick is not a Fostoria piece.

Thanks for the suggestion...just posted a new pic.

Thanks for the additional picture. Your candlestick appears to be made by Liberty Glass Works between 1928 & 1932. It should measure 3-1/4" high and the base 4-1/4" across.

I, for one, am very grateful to Phil for his expertise. Identifying the products of these smaller glass works presents a chronic problem for me, and I do not have, or know of, a reliable and complete source for this kind of information. Any suggestions for reference material?

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

yes, the 3 volume set of "the glass candlestick book" (s) by tom felt and elaine and rich stoer , from schroeder publishing.there were literally 1000's of glass makers along the Ohio River in the 20's and 30's.. Liberty Glass was one that was very well known then..
