This item is handmade in Sandwich, MA by McDermott Glass Studio.  

The dolphin design was very popular with American glassmakers. This hexagonal base dolphin is a reproduction of the dolphin candlestick design made by the Boston & Sandwich Glass Company or the Cape Cod Glass Company, both of Sandwich, c. 1855-1870.

As early as 1854 the production of dolphin candlesticks was mentioned in Sandwich glass factory documents. This reproduction was made using production methods similar to those used by the old Sandwich factories.The Sandwich candlestick was pressed in two parts. The socket was joined to the dolphin standard with a wafer of glass. Our reproductions, which are stamped with SGM on the bottom, are pressed as a single piece.

An iconic piece of Sandwich history.

Each candlestick measures approximately 7" tall, 4" wide at the base, 2" wide across the top
