Glass Votive Holder Appraisal

Faceted Glass Votive Candle Holder

The item is a small, spherical clear glass vessel, likely intended as a votive candle holder or a small vase. It has a wide opening at the top with a slightly flattened rim. The exterior surface is completely covered in a raised diamond pattern, creating a faceted effect that catches and reflects light. The pattern appears to be uniform across the entire body of the vessel. The interior is smooth. The base is rounded, allowing the holder to sit stably but potentially concentrating weight on the perimeter of the base. The glass is clear and appears to be free of cracks or chips based on the visible areas. No manufacturer's marks, signatures, or stamps are discernible in the image. The clarity of the glass and the regularity of the faceting suggest a manufactured item, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears to be very good with no noticeable wear or damage. The light reflecting off the facets is visible on the surface it is resting on, indicating the light- refracting properties of the material and design. The overall craftsmanship appears decent for a mass-produced item, with the pattern consistently applied.
