RARE DÜMLER & BREIDEN CANDLEHOLDERS Nrs. 31 & 32

A rare pair of 1970s red, blue, and aqua candle holders from the DÜMLER & BREIDEN Studio series. Each is decorated with impressed hexagons in aqua blue on a dark blue ground. The elevated bases and recessed center circles are bright red. The larger holder is approximately 5 ½" square and stands 2 ¼" tall; the smaller is 4 ¾" square and 2" tall. Priced as a set. (Dimension details below reference the larger holder.) DÜMLER & BREIDEN (aka D&B) was founded in 1883 by Peter Dümler and his brother-in-law and childhood friend Albert Breiden in the town of Höhr-Grenzhausen in the Kannenbäckerland, about 20 km northeast of Koblenz in the Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. (The Kannenbäckerland—the "potters' land" or, more literally, the "jug-bakers' land"—is a centuries-old home to ceramics manufacture in central Germany and the site of the largest clay deposit in Europe.) In the early 20th century DÜMLER & BREIDEN was known mainly for the production of beer steins and punch bowls
