I have a pair of beautiful pale pink Milk Glass Epergnes or mantle vases and I am trying to find out who made them. Each epergne has a flared bulb form top with a raised lip around the opening and then it tapers down to a narrow point. It fits into a metal holder that has 6 flat narrow brass strips with small stamped four-leaf clover designs on it. Each strip splays out from the vertical holder creating a 'flat support foot' that rests on top of an octagonal pink milk glass base with feet. The metal holder is attached to the glass base with something similar to a threaded lamp nipple. The glass vase measures 6 3/4" high, the metal holder measures 2 7/8" high from the top of the glass base. The base measures 4" across X 3/4" at each octagonal corner and 1/2" at the space between the feet. Any help in identifying the maker and age of this piece would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
