Yesterday we showed depression glass by Imperial and today we're looking at a couple pieces of Imperial's Candlewick. Candlewick has beads - around the rim, on the handles, on the base - almost every piece has beads. It is one of the easiest patterns to identify and it also is one of the harder patterns.Imperial made Candlewick for almost 50 years, from 1936 to 1984 when Imperial closed. It was their most extensive and popular line and no wonder. The simple beaded design is easy on the eyes and attractive.
This top candleholder is the three-light, beaded center oval candleholder 400/147 style. You may find other candleholders that are similar as Imperial made several styles. The one most alike has the same beaded oval center but is missing the top holder.
This next candleholder is the rolled rim style, meant to hold a single candle. To me it looks more colonial style. You can see why people like collecting Candlewick - they have a lot to choose among!
If you want to read more, these two candleholders are described in the store linked below. Many dealers offer extensive selections of Candlewick.
