Candlestick 3″

Item Number: 314
Height: 3″
Production Dates: 1936-1982

Fostoria | American | 3" Candlesticks | Crystal and Cobalt Out of all the candlesticks produced in the American pattern, this popular 3″ Candlestick is still one of the easiest to find today. The diameter of the base is approximately 4½”, so it is wider than it is tall. With a substantial base, it sits very securely on a table’s surface.

My personal opinion on these candlesticks is this … the ones actually produced at the Fostoria glass factory have the greatest clarity and craftsmanship of them all. They; however, are also the most plentiful.

The colored candlesticks, whether produced by Dalzell Viking or L. E. Smith, are more difficult to find. The 3″ Candlesticks can be found in different colors – from Pink, Amber, Cobalt, and more. They had a much shorter production life. They also offer a way to introduce color into your tablescape, which is always a nice option.

Protecting your American Glassware

To help prevent damage to our beloved American items, and to allow for easy identification, I like to use storage boxes. A variety of boxes are available, and some of them have windows which will allow you to quickly see the contents of the box. I also like identify each box with the item’s identification number. I no longer have to worry about the safety of my glassware. They are easy to access, and the attractive boxes keep my pantry very organized! ♥
