Candle holders in the shape of the eiffel tower made by cristallerie de portieux

Rare candle holders in the shape of the eiffel tower made by the cristallerie de portieux located in the voges in france. "eiffel" model made of colorless pressed glass present in the factory's 1933 catalog on plate 131 under the reference 1841. The modest glassworks founded in 1690 by françois magnien de magnienville became two centuries later the most important vosges company with a thousand employees. The portieux crystal factory is the heir to one of the oldest french crystal factories specializing in gobletware, decorative and fantasy items. This factory is now a subsidiary of the parisian company les jolies céramiques sans kaolin. I measured 28 cm in height and 10.5 cm in maximum section and a weight of 690 g. Excellent condition, no chips, scratches or chips.
