Notes
Ravenhead Glass was a prominent British glass manufacturer, the name derived from the district of St Helens where the factory was located.
The company made functional tableware as well as stylish items for home decor.
These 'cactus' candle holders show the influence of Scandinavian trends and were part of their push into more sculptural and decorative glass during the 1970s.
