A Trio of Cobalt Blue Pressed Glass Candle Holders and Votive - A collection of three items executed in deep cobalt blue pressed glass, consisting of two identical square open-top containers and one highly stylized, footed holder. The items are consistent with market descriptions of vintage or contemporary recycled glass production. The two square containers feature thick rims and heavy walls, characteristic of pressed glass manufacture, and are commonly marketed as candle holders, votives, or small planters. The bases of these two square containers bear molded text reading MADE IN ITALY. The third item is a footed holder featuring heavy pressed glass relief molding, depicting a design of stylized leaves or petals around the body, terminating in a flared, scalloped rim. This ornate holder is likely intended for a votive candle or small floral arrangement. Square containers approximately 3 inches (7.6 cm) tall.
