    I have 2 orange see through candle holders. Dimensions are about 1 1/16" dia. candle stick opening, 4 1/4" dia. from the tip of one petal on one side to the tip of another petal on the other side x 2" tall. I can not find these in my searches. Do these have a daisy petal pattern around their bases. I would like to request help with the decade, identify the company and pattern of these candle holders. Thank you. Rob

    I don't see any opalescence. Mabey, what is considered Marigold iridescence? Can't say for certain who made them but that may help in your search. WAG would be Jeannette. Good luck.

    I see irridescence, not opalescence.

    Can see lots of these on an image search, no opalescence as Owned by Bear and CRS points out. Another below

    I think these are Federal Glass No 2727 candlesticks. I'm using The Glass Candlestick Book, Volume 1, pg. 173. The book states these were sold as "The Candlelight Twins" and came in crystal and marigold carnival. Production dates are unknown but they were shown in a 1954 catalog.

    as long as irridescence would mean see through color

    Iridescence is the different color sheen on the glass. Kind of like what you see on an oil slick. Like this. Most carnival glass will have some iridescence

    I find Google Lens (Chrome) and Google image search work fairly well - you can access both from a right click on the image if you install a google extension to add the "Search Google using this image". The Google image search also allows you to add search terms that help get better hits.

    The words I should have used to describe the candle holders are transparent orange
