Description

1953 Red Wing Pottery, ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION CANDLE HOLDER, Burgundy-Gray #2311 USA
Impressed mark on the bottom reads, "Red Wing USA 2311."
This beautiful ceramic pottery candle holder is a very desirable shape and color and is part of Red Wing Pottery's 1953 Anniversary Line, per online research.
The tall top section sits on a square base or pedestal and has a tall flared back, a flared front lip, and a round molded holder inside.
The basic color is a glossy, deep red or burgundy with gray on the top and front lip that drips into the red. Officially the colors are "luster burgundy" over "luster gray."
The colors are richer and warmer than photos can show.
Holds one standard taper candle as shown in the last photo. No candles are included in this auction. This auction is for the one candle holder only.
Measures 8 1/4" high, 2 1/4" wide and 5" deep from the front of the base to the tip of the flared back section. The base is 2 1/4" square.
Weighs 10 ounces before packaging
From the manufacturing process, the square base sits flat with only a very, very slight wobble, and the top section appears to lean very slightly to the right.
Very good pre-owned used, vintage condition. There are no cracks, crazing or surface wear. There is overall crazing and shelf wear to the unglazed foot rim consistent with age. Any other irregularities would be from the manufacturing process.
