I would like to identify these candlestick holders. Not sure if they're cut glass, lead crystal or what material. If anyone can identify the pattern and mfr, I sure would appreciate it.

Can't tell from your pictures, are these candlestick holders, or bobeches? Are they upside down or right side up?
Hello. Thanks so much for answering. I don't think they are bobeches. When I got them, there was a tiny amount of candle wax in the smaller (top) part of them.
The way they are displayed in the picture is only because I think candlesticks are used in the smaller top part and the larger bottom half of each one is a base. I can picture them on a table as part of a centerpiece with three white candles adorning them. I can turn the picture 180* and post that so you can see what they look like with the smaller part as the base if that will help identify them.
I have turned the pic so you can see it with the larger part of the candle holders on top. I guess I could put a small votive candle in each. I have searched and searched and can't find anything that even remotely resembles these. They may just be part of a chandelier or something for all I know. I hate being uneducated when it comes to things like this.
Okay, thank you, from your description I think I understand. Some of the lamp or glass experts here may have some information to help, I don't know what you have, except I did see some bobeches that were large and dangly but as you say these aren't those, then I leave it to the experts. Good luck! :)
I've seen Chandeliers with the Bobeches on them and it looks like those are individual "icicles" that hang down creating the same look as these. These are, however, made of one piece.
I discovered that these are two way candlestick holders. You can set a candlestick into the narrow end with the wide end sitting on a table or reverse it and set the candlestick in the wide end with the narrow end sitting on the table. All my searching for 2 (or two) way candlestick holders has not yielded anything even remotely resembling these. So, mystery is still unsolved..........ugh!
Try the search term "reversible candleholder". A few similar styles will come up in the picture search.
