These are the kind of pieces that don’t sit quietly.
A bold pair of vintage Portieux Vallerysthal cobalt blue glass candlesticks featuring sculptural koi or dolphin forms, wrapped in movement, detail, and just enough drama to make everything around them look intentional.
That deep cobalt hits first. Then the texture, the scales, the curve of the body. They’re not subtle, and that’s exactly the point.
Sold as a pair.
