ITALY - Studio Bormioli Rocco Keope Votive Candleholder



ITEM SPECIFICS.
  • Material:  crystal-glass
  • Dimension:  height - 80 mm.;  diameter - 85 mm.
  • Design:  under the "Keope" design series where "precious pearls of air that glisten within the exclusive 'golden shadow' colour" is the main design concept.
  • Back stamp:  there is no hallmark or etching of the logo of the manufacturer.

Made in ITALY.

NOTES:
  • I bought several pieces from a local department store about 6 years ago (if I remember it correctly).  Each one cost about 10 USD (maybe more now).  The line is no longer being sold here in the Philippines based from the last time I checked, which is just very recently.
  • I gave some of them as house warming gifts to friends and relatives.
  • The item is heavy for its size.

A Bit of Trivia:
  • Did you know that Bormioli Rocco is known for their high quality glass products?  The first glass works of Bormioli Rocco can be traced back to 1825.  It has a long history of quality craftsmanship, artistry, innovation, and technological advancements in the manufacture of glass and plastics.
  • Did you know that a patented glassware-making technology was developed and exclusively utilized by Bormioli Rocco for the "Keope" series?  The beautiful air bubbles found in each Keope item such as this votive candleholder is the signature design of Studio Bormioli Rocco's Keope.
