Clear Glass Two-Arm Candelabra

This appears to be a clear glass candelabra, designed to hold at least two candles. The material is transparent glass, exhibiting a clear, colorless quality, suggesting either lead crystal or high-quality pressed glass. The candelabra features a central stem that branches out into two arms, each terminating in a candle cup. A notable design element is the series of applied, fluted decorations or 'petals' along the underside of the branching arms and around the rims of the candle cups. These fluted elements seem to be individually molded and attached, or intricately pressed as part of the main body, creating a scalloped or highly ornamental edge. The candle cups themselves have a subtle ribbed or fluted exterior. The base of the candelabra is a flat, circular disc. This base is adorned with etched or engraved floral motifs, specifically what appear to be ferns or delicate leaves, demonstrating a level of decorative detail. The overall construction suggests a piece from the late 19th to early 20th century, possibly Victorian or Edwardian era, given the elaborate decorative style. There are no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant repair marks, and the glass appears to be in good condition with a clean surface, though some dust or minor surface grime is present. The craftsmanship, particularly the precision of the fluted elements and the etched base, indicates a well-made, decorative glassware item, likely intended for formal table settings or as a mantelpiece accent. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided images.
