I collect swedish crystal, and acquired this candlestick pair about 10 years ago. I broke one, and have been trying very hard to find a replacement pair. These very well may not swedish origin, as I love all crystal! I believe it's a retired pattern, it is signed, but very difficult to read the inscription (couldn't get a decent photo). It looks kindof like "Orefor", but that makes no sense; it should be a last name, right? I thought perhaps it was Baccarat -- it has the most similar "look" to some of the Baccarat patterns but is not stamped with the company name.
The candlestick is about 5 inches tall. Any ideas??? I have been researching this (including emailing Baccarat) for years, and really want to solve the mystery! Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks for taking a look!

CORRECTION to the signature on the bottom of the candlestick--- better light and more looking seems to show: "Ocafox" or "GCAfox"
