Beautiful pair of WMF Ikora candle holders. Ikora art glass was developed by Karl Wiedmann and manufactured by the Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik (WMF) company in Germany during the period of 1926 - 1954. The internal decoration was made possible by using powdered glass of different colors encased in crystal. The use of silver salts and chloride created the trademark bubbles of various sizes and shapes. Most Ikora glass was manufactured before World War II. These particular candle holders were manufactured postwar within the U.S. occupation zone in the years 1946 - 1948. They still have the "U.S. Zone" sticker on the inside. They were imported into the U.S. by the American Farberware company. The candle holders are very rare. They are in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.
