I have a pair of beautiful pale pink (Crown Tuscan?) Milk Glass Epergnes or Mantle Vases and I am trying to find out who made them. Each epergne has a flared bulb form top with a raised lip around the opening and then it tapers down to a narrow point. It fits into a metal holder that has 6 flat narrow brass strips with small stamped four-leaf clover designs on it. Each strip splays out from the vertical holder creating a 'flat support foot' that rests on top of an octagonal pink milk glass base with feet. The metal holder is attached to the glass base with something similar to a threaded lamp nipple. The glass vase measures 6 3/4" high, the metal holder measures 2 7/8" high from the top of the glass base. The base measures 4" across X 3/4" at each octagonal corner and 1/2" at the space between the feet. Any help in identifying the maker and age of this piece would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

I have one of these vases and have never been able to identify a maker despite hours of searching. Did you ever learn who made it? Thank you.

No, not yet. I am still hoping that some one will recognize it. I sent out photos and descriptions to several glass organizations and the only one I've heard back from is Imperial Glass and they said it isn't one of theirs. Where did you get yours? Is it n the same color? One or a pair? Thanks for your inquiry.
