[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 30915, member: 51"]Terry, [U]amazing[/U]! Well done! Thank you. Someone set this [I]back[/I] in a new bin at the thrift yesterday, changed mind or something. It was covered with wax, maybe that's why, but only 49 cents. So one thing has already come up from this post. I am positive I sold a Pentti Sarpaneva pendant necklace as an "unknown" piece about a year ago. It had no marks at all. I listed it on Ebay as "brutalist, possibly a studio piece". After searching Pentti Sarpaneva to check this candle holder I saw many variations, similar of my sold necklace. I think it sold for $35, would have done a lot better with the Pentti Sarpaneva name :inpain: oh well, live and learn! When I saw this candle holder I thought, "Oh just like that necklace." Back to the candle holder. I'm still so impressed we got the maker, :) but now how to clean the excess wax? The candle sits down in the body, and it has melted all over the top and the delicate open work on the side, a real mess. What is the best way to clean this? [I]PS. Yourturn --yes maker's mark both ways. I was thinking 2nd was it, but you never know. [/I][/QUOTE]
