I was asked why I spent so much time on this page.  The reason is simple.  When I started to collect Vineland Flint glass candlesticks I found many great photos and catalog reprints showing different styles.  Just about every company you can think of….. except Vineland Flint!  There is almost nothing written on Vineland Flint glass!  On the candlesticks shown by other companies no measurements were given unless it was the height.  Vineland, Northwood, Central and U.S. glass make trumpets that look almost exactly alike.  U.S. Glass and Vineland make a spindle style that are almost identical.  Fenton and Vineland made a colonial style virtually the same.  It was not till I found a book written by Dave Shetlar and John Madeley called "American Iridescent Stretch Glass" that I was able to positively identify some of these candlesticks.  This book also helped me to identify some of the shapes and styles of bowls made by Vineland.  It was written to help others identify stretch glass but I have found many companies made the same pieces with-out the stretch glass treatment.  I have found many identical pieces made with and with-out the stretch treatment from Vineland Flint I might not have found with-out the help of this book.  I would also like to thank Dave Shetlar for the help he has given me personally in my quest to learn about Vineland Flint Glass.

On this page I am showing three different styles of candlesticks.  These have been identified as having been made in colored glass as well as the stretch glass finish.  To date these are the only mold blown candlesticks I have been able to verify made by Vineland. 

You will find variations of these styles made by other companies such as Central and U.S. Glass.  You will also find variations with-in the ones made by Vineland Flint but there are certain characteristics that do not change allowing identification of these pieces.  I have tried to show in the photos these areas to help you decide who the manufacture of your candlestick is.  Under the photos you will find a written explanation as to what I am trying to show in the photo to help you.

Hopefully there is enough information to help you.  If not please do not hesitate to write me and ask questions.
