Imperial Glass Cathay Servant Woman Clear Frosted Candle Holder

Description

A mid century clear frosted Cathay Servant Woman candle holder from Imperial Glass Company's Asian giftware line, 1949 - 1962. Has a few issues. It has several seeds (bubbles) within the glass, the most noticeable of which is in the cheek of the figurine (see photo 5). It also has a fleabite along the edge of the woman's hair covering (see photo 6). This fleabite is difficult to see except upon close inspection. There is an incredibly faint signature on the backside at the base as well. It's next to impossible to see with the naked eye. I can't make it out and was unable to capture it in a macro photo. However, you can see part of it by looking through the bottom which is not frosted (see last photo). No other issues noted but it is possible given this is a frosted piece and well over 60 years old. Measures approximately 8 7/8" tall. Unpackaged weight is a little over 3 1/3 pounds. Made in U.S.A.
