Description

This frosted glass candle shade is a showstopper straight out of a winter wonderland, hand-painted with a cheerful snowman sporting a gray hat and red scarf, twig arms outstretched, while a vivid red cardinal perches nearby on a bare branch amid falling snowflakes. The artwork is signed by the artist Gniole at the lower right, making this a one-of-a-kind decorative piece rather than a mass-produced trinket. The shade stands approximately 3.5 inches tall and sits atop its companion piece beautifully, glowing warmly when a tealight candle is placed beneath it.

The iridescent base bowl is a genuine Mosser Glass piece from Cambridge, Ohio, bearing the original gold foil label and the embossed M maker mark on the bottom. It features a classic hobnail and diamond-point pattern along the exterior with a scalloped rim, all dressed in a lustrous white carnival-style iridescence that throws rainbow flashes in any light. Compact at roughly 1.5 inches tall and about 4 inches in diameter, this little beauty is a collector-worthy example of American art glass craftsmanship at its finest.
