Late in last year's bottle-hunting season I found this. Sadly I knocked--I think it was a bottle-- down onto it, chipping further an already chipped lip to this peachy little--candle holder? As you can see, that's what I use it for now. But can anyone tell me age and company that made it? There are no markings, and no seams.

looks to be a candle holder from the 30s or 40s

TylerH, really? I thought it would be more modern. Thank you, but now I just broke an antique. Heh.

The lake had been used as an open dump since about 1860. I find items from about 1900 to this passed year. That's why I couldn't expect much. I'd once seen similar peachwear (as I call it) in an antique store for food items, said to be 1950s. But, I'll trust you all. It isn't a two-piece or three-piece mold. I'm guessing it was pressed into a mold?? I don't know much on it.

it was most likely made by machine during that time.

Could also be ca. 2013 Dollarama (or whatever dollar stores you have down there). I've seen some similar stuff in the cheap home decor sections. Dating it would be pretty hard, though the amount of wear you see on it could tell you something.

Modern stuff thrown in is reserved to food and dink. All other items tend to be '90s or before. It's a pretty piece, whatever it is. It does hold some wear, but the lake's current and sediments are very soft, and so it does not wear much--usually!

I'm a Depression glass/bottle collector and I recognized this pattern. Fine rib pattern tumbler (drinking glass) by Hazel Atlas I believe. Not quite sure. Here is the original. 1930s

I cannot figure out what kind of soda pop bottle this is. Can someone please help me? It looks like it’s in English and another language also.
