This delightful pair of vintage Sasaki art glass dog candle holders exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and sculptural elegance of mid-century Japanese studio glass. Handcrafted in clear, ice-textured glass, each dog features organic contours, controlled striations, and luminous clarity that catches and reflects light beautifully.
Designed to hold slender taper candles, these pieces function equally well as decorative sculptures when unlit. Their whimsical animal form paired with sophisticated glasswork makes them a perfect accent for Hollywood Regency, eclectic, mid-century modern, or maximalist interiors.
One holder retains its original Sasaki Glass “Handcrafted Japan” foil label, confirming maker and origin.
