An impressive antique milk-glass crucifix candlestick, standing nearly a foot tall. The brilliant white glass forms a three-dimensional figure of Christ against the cross, with INRI raised above his head. A shaped candle socket crowns the cross, while the substantial stepped hexagonal base gives the piece a strong architectural presence.
This is an antique pressed-glass devotional piece, likely dating to circa 1880–1910. Made as a single molded form, it could serve as a striking candleholder for a home altar, prayer space, mantel, or collection of antique religious glass.
