A clear glass candelabra base from Italy. The foot of the candelabra, which is wide and circular, is painted with little vignettes separated by green vertical borders painted with red and gold leaves. The paint has faded in some areas. Three painted vignettes are visible along the flared base and each show a different light-skinned person. The one on our left shows a man dressed in red with a white hat. He is holding a staff and his left leg is missing. The middle one shows a woman dressed in yellow. She is leaning over and holds a yellow bird on her finger. A chicken is on the ground to her right. The right vignette shows a person dressed in yellow robes with a black collar, holding a tan fan. A small rounded piece of glass sits atop this painted section and connects a slightly larger rounded ball of glass. Above that is another connecting piece followed by a bulb-shaped piece. There is one more connecting piece and then a rounded cylinder that would hold the candle.
