This is line #134 Trident with the Gardenia plate etch.  I still have the piece with the Belle le Rose etch, so now I have a kind of ‘matched’ pair.

I see on the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum that the etch is also referred to as ‘Camellia”.  I actually thought it was a rose when I picked it up.  Goes to show what I know about flowers!

This is the base of a two candle, candle stick holder.  I bought this online on a whim.  I had been looking through books and saw a drawing of this etch.  It intrigued me so I ran a search and bought this piece.  I have one other candle stick holder, but they aren’t really my thing.  You don’t see this etch often.  It’s not super old – late thirties, early forties, but doesn’t come up for sale often.  I’d love to see stems of this etch.
