Vintage Westmoreland Della Robbia Ruby Flashed Glass Candlesticks

A beautiful pair of vintage Westmoreland Della Robbia glass candlesticks, featuring the celebrated ruby flashed fruit decoration over brilliantly clear pressed glass. Richly molded fruit garlands encircle the bases, creating a striking contrast between the luminous clear glass and the vibrant ruby accents that define one of Westmoreland Glass Company’s most admired patterns.

Inspired by the ornamental fruit swags associated with the Italian Renaissance sculptor Luca della Robbia, the Della Robbia pattern evokes abundance, hospitality, and beautifully appointed tables. Westmoreland transformed these classical decorative motifs into elegant American pressed glass, producing a collection that has remained highly sought after by collectors for its sculptural quality, refined craftsmanship, and timeless appeal.

Founded in Pennsylvania in 1889, Westmoreland Glass Company became one of America’s leading glass manufacturers, celebrated for producing beautifully designed pressed glass that combined artistry with everyday function. The Della Robbia collection remains among its most recognizable and collectible patterns, appreciated for its richly embossed fruit decoration and exceptional clarity.

Whether displayed on a dining table, mantel, sideboard, or incorporated into a collection of Westmoreland glass, this matching pair brings warmth, elegance, and classical inspiration to any interior. They pair beautifully with other pieces from the Della Robbia collection while also standing alone as decorative objects.

Good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. Minor surface wear consistent with vintage pressed glass. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
