Vintage Pressed Glass Two-Light Candelabrum with Starburst Motif

This item is an ornate, clear pressed glass candelabrum featuring two candle holders integrated into a single decorative base. The central body is adorned with a large, deeply molded starburst or 'Whirling Star' pattern, a motif common in Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) revivals. Flanking the central design are two elegant candle cups with flared rims, supported by scrolled, fan-shaped brackets that transition into vertically ribbed pilasters. The piece is topped with a faceted glass finial or 'point' at the center, adding to its symmetrical, architectural feel. Based on the construction, this appears to be soda-lime glass rather than lead crystal, likely produced by a manufacturer such as L.E. Smith or Indiana Glass during the mid-20th century (circa 1950s-1970s). The glass exhibits high clarity with a slight oily luster typical of pressed manufacturing. No visible maker's marks are present in the image. Condition is generally good, though there is black ink handwriting directly on the surface (likely a thrift store price mark) and some evidence of light shelf wear on the bottom edge. There are no obvious chips or fractures visible on the decorative scrolled elements or the candle cups, which are the most vulnerable points. The piece has a substantial width for stability and exhibits clean molding lines with minimal 'flash' or excess glass at the seams.
