A pair of Mikasa 'Icicles' crystal candle holders made in Germany.

Mikasa is a well-known brand for dinnerware and crystalware, established in the United States in 1948. While the brand is American, many of its crystal items, particularly from earlier periods, were manufactured in Europe, with Germany being a significant production location. The 'Icicles' pattern is recognized for its delicate, frosted-like appearance achieved through glass etching or molding techniques, giving it a distinctive crystalline texture. These candle holders, likely made of crystal, are designed to hold taper or dinner candles. The fluted top and slender stem are characteristic of elegant tableware from the mid to late 20th century. Such pieces were popular for setting a sophisticated ambiance for dining and special occasions, and their production in Germany indicates a focus on quality craftsmanship associated with European glassmaking.
