    I have a pair of absolutely beautiful pale pink Opaque Glass MANTLE FLOWER VASES that I bought in Texas over 25 years ago at an estate sale. The complete vases stand 9" high. Each glass vase has a flared bulb form top with a raised lip around the opening. It then 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.

    The color of the glass is very similar to Crown Tuscan by Cambridge or Alacite by Aladdin Lamps - both of which were developed by Henry Hellmers. I have not been able to determine a manufacturer but believe they are American made. Someone thought the base was similar to Aladdin lamp bases but it isn't one of their products. I am hoping someone may recognize these vases and hopefully identify the maker and a time period. Thank you in advance.
