Tom and Neila
Bredehoft, in their book, Fifty Years of Collectible Glass 1920-1970, explain
the attraction of collecting elegant glass, "Some long-lived patterns such
as...Imperial's Candlewick grew to immense proportions because of their lasting
popularity. Pieces in these patterns were continually being added and dropped
from the line, resulting in extremely rare pieces today."
National
Imperial Glass Collector's Society offers lots of history and helpful
services for Candlewick collectors!
Note:
Reproductions of many pieces of Candlewick exist and several pieces are
currently being made by Dalzell-Viking in many colors. Be aware of colored
pieces in this pattern as they may be new.
