Moon & Star Amberina Pedestal Candle Holder – Cadmium Glass

This beautiful Amberina Moon & Star pedestal candle holder is a standout piece of collectible pressed glass, featuring the bold color and highly decorative detailing that make the Moon & Star pattern so popular with collectors.

The bowl-shaped top is finished with a scalloped rim and surrounded by the classic raised moon motifs, starbursts, and textured geometric details associated with the pattern. At the center is a recessed candle cup designed to hold a candle, while the piece rests on a short pedestal stem with a wide flared foot decorated with additional star details.

The Amberina coloring is especially striking, transitioning from deeper red tones around the rim and upper pattern into warm orange and amber shades through the bowl and base. The glass contains cadmium, giving it a vivid orange fluorescence under UV light. That reactive glow makes this piece especially appealing for collectors of cadmium glass, UV-reactive glass, glowing glassware, and colorful pressed glass.

Measuring approximately 4 inches tall, this candle holder has a substantial presence without taking up a large amount of display space. It works beautifully as a functional candle holder, but it is equally attractive displayed on its own in a china cabinet, curio cabinet, mantel, sideboard, or alongside other Moon & Star pieces.

Please review all photos carefully for condition and additional details. As with most vintage glassware, minor manufacturing variations, mold marks, bubbles, light surface wear, or other small imperfections may be present and are part of the character of older pressed glass.
