Godinger Shannon Crystal Candlestick

This is a single candlestick holder crafted from clear lead crystal, likely part of the Godinger Shannon collection. This piece features a shallow, flared cup at the top with vertical faceted cuts designed to refract light, mimicking a tulip or floral motif. The stem is particularly ornate, displaying a multi-stage design that transitions from an urn-shaped upper section to a finely twisted or rope-spiral lower section. This elaborate stem construction is a hallmark of late 20th-century decorative pressed crystal, designed to offer high brilliance at an accessible price point. The base is a plain, circular foot that provides stability, though there is no visible acid stamp or maker's mark in the photograph, which is common for this brand as they often used high-gloss adhesive labels that were removed by owners. Physically, the item appears to be in good used condition with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy clouding, though some surface dust and fingerprints are present. The craftsmanship reflects machine-pressed techniques rather than hand-cut crystal, indicated by the uniformity of the facets and the complexity of the integrated stem patterns. This style is consistent with traditional 'Dublin' or 'Shannon' patterns produced from the 1990s to the early 2000s.
