Mikasa Heritage Flame Crystal Candle Holders

This is a pair of vintage crystal taper candle holders, specifically identified as the Heritage Flame pattern produced by Mikasa. These pieces are crafted from high-quality clear lead crystal, known for its exceptional clarity and light-refractive properties. The design features a tall, slender profile with a distinctive fluted or 'flame' motif that rises from a square, tiered pedestal base. Deep vertical mitre cuts extend upward from the stem, blooming into an organic, stylized lily or flame-like rim at the top candle cup. These holders stand approximately 8 to 10 inches tall and exhibit substantial weight and structural integrity characteristic of premium pressed glass. The faceted edges are designed to catch and disperse candlelight, creating a brilliant prismatic effect. Although no manufacturer's markings are visible in the photo, this specific silhouette and cut pattern are hallmarks of Mikasa's late 20th-century production (circa 1980s-1990s). The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or clouding from hard water deposits. The base shows minimal surface wear, and the crystal retains a crisp, high-gloss finish typical of well-maintained decorative glassware. These pieces reflect a contemporary traditional style that remains popular for formal dining settings.
