Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Candlestick by Kosta Boda features a clear glass object with a wide, flat base that tapers upward, having eight distinct sides. A short, ridged cylindrical section sits atop the base. Further up, a series of alternating wide and narrow ridged cylindrical sections create a stacked effect. The candlestick features a wide lip at the top with a recessed area in the center. The background is gray with a darker shade at the top and lighter at the bottom; the object casts a shadow to the left.
