Candlewick by Imperial Glass

Candlewick glass made by the Imperial Glass company has been a very collectible Depression Glass with many who enjoy its distinctive styling and clean clear look. It’s hard not to notice the little “balls” of glass on the edges of this beautiful glassware.

Don’t confuse Candlewick with Boopie glass by Anchor Hocking!

There are some subtle differences between the two which a collector cannot overlook. Generally, the “balls” on Boopie glass look “welded” together side-to-side making them like one unit. On the other hand, Candlewick often has spacing between making them stand out a bit more and a bit more fragile.

As the picture above shows, there are a significant number of pieces within the Candlewick line including:

• punch bowl,
• multiple styles of cups, glasses and saucers,
• under plates,
• creamers and sugars,
• candle holders/candlesticks,
• salts,
• marmalades,
• and much more!

Hopefully, this may show some of the beauty that Candlewick offers. For more about Candlewick and Imperial Glass, you may want to visit the National Imperial Glass Collectors Society site at http://www.imperialglass.org.
