Description
Vintage clear pressed-glass taper candle holder from the mid-century Berwick “Boopie” line by Anchor Hocking. The design features a flared, ribbed body rising from a circular base decorated with a ring of rounded bubble or “boopie” knobs. The textured form refracts candlelight beautifully while the broad base provides excellent stability for standard taper candles.
Produced during the height of American mid-century pressed glass manufacturing, this pattern became popular for its playful texture and clean modern profile. Today it remains a recognizable and highly collectible design from the period.
