Night lights

Add to album

These night lights, made from press-moulded glass, date from the 19th century. Little candles were placed inside and the press-moulding intensified their light.

One light is green, one blue. Each has an egg-shaped bowl, a flat bottom and an all-over raised diamond pattern.
