Vintage Dartington Glass Candle Holders by Frank Thrower, c.1975
Add a touch of British mid-century design to your home with this stylish pair of vintage Dartington Glass candle holders, designed by Frank Thrower for Dartington Glass, Torrington, North Devon.
Dating to circa 1975, these attractive clear glass candle holders showcase Thrower’s distinctive approach to simple, functional design. Each holder features textured, stippled glass on all four square sides, creating an appealing tactile finish that catches and reflects the light beautifully.
