Candlestick

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The candlestick, by an unknown artist titled "Candlestick", is a glass object with a predominantly red and purple color scheme. The base of the candlestick is wide and flat with a decorative edge. A short, ornate section connects the base to a long, thin stem that gradually tapers. The stem transitions from purple at the bottom to red and white towards the top. The top section has a flared, ridged design. The entire piece exhibits a marbled effect with swirls of red, white, and purple.
