Who made this strange Pewter and Glass Goblet???

Hi again,
This piece is strange.
The base looks like a chamber candle holder.
Married piece??? Not from what I can tell, it looks all original.
Beside...why would anyone go through the trouble ta do that?
Also, glass portion is not removable and no hole for a candle.
No markings what-so-ever.
Measurements: 6.5" tall x 3" across rim x 3 3/4" across foot.
So...any ideas on who made this rather peculiar piece?
Thanks,
CJ

 

Sure looks like a candlestick base. Does the glass part come out?

 

No, the glass portion is in there to stay.
And forgot to mention there is not a hole for a candle.
That's why I assume it has to be a goblet of sorts. (????)
Like I said...STRANGE!

 

Somebody thought they had a great idea - that failed. No actual hurricane shade would be this shape or have a solid bottom that cannot hold a candle. My guess is that the "goblet"'s stem broke off and someone decided to put these 2 things together. JMHO

 

Can someone id who made the glass portion? That might help with this conundrum.

 

The (at one time) goblet is an EAPG pattern. Honeycomb, Georgian would be good search words.

The pewter is a fingerhold candlestick.

 

agree that it's a useful repurposing repair for a broken goblet.
almost every company made a honeycomb motif similar to this in the EAPG era; didn't see an exact match to this one.

 

If that's all this strange goblet ends up to be...I might as well use it for my vodka cocktails...that little handle will come in handy as the "night grows old".

TAKE YOUR PICK!

for all the help today! CJ

 

Oh and by the way...
My husband INSISTS that this piece was done on some type of machinery. He's an engineer and knows how things are put together. Says there is no way someone just stuck a broken glass on top; everything fits together way to perfectly. (He wanted me to add this).
Now I know that's a chamber candle holder, however I do have to agree with him on how its was put together. Hard for anyone to see that without having it in hand.
So I'm going to leave it at being a one-of-a-kind piece worth thousands... I can dream can't I!

 

Lots of retired hanymen.
The stem would have been a smaller diameter than the candle. Someone with a drill could have easily bored deeper in to the candlestick. Add a little plaster of paris or glue, stick the stem of the goblet down in and viola! A finger holed goblet.

 

I understand what your saying.

However, no glue, no plaster...I will give my husband more credit than that as a highly skilled mechanical engineer to know that for a fact!
Just how the two pieces were "married" together so "expertly"...well I guess that will remain a mystery. Unless at some point we take it apart and solve the conundrum.
Likely my husband will, because the engineer in him will have that "need to know".

Thanks for the contribution though.

 

no glue....that you can see !

 

No glue, period!
I have the piece to look at, you don't. My advantage of course.
