Description
Lovely vintage PartyLite hurricane glass candle holder featuring a detailed frosted winter forest scene. The design includes snowy evergreen and deciduous trees under a snowfall of delicate snowflakes. This glass chimney is designed to sit over a pedestal or within a larger holiday display. Approximately 6-7 inches tall with a slightly flared rim and a weighted base designed to fit standard candle plates.
Key Features
Highly collectible 'Winter Scene' pattern; classic holiday aesthetic; recognized brand with a dedicated following; versatile for votives, tealights, or small pillars.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Characterized by the specific frosted etching style and shape of the 'Hurricane' accessories common in PartyLite catalogs. Look for a small round 'PL' acid-etched logo or sticker on the bottom for 100% verification.
Flaws to Note
No chips or cracks visible. Check for 'wax residue' in the bottom or 'shelf wear' scratches on the base, though none are obvious in photos.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Etsy, or Facebook Marketplace. eBay is best for reaching collectors searching for specific discontinued patterns; Marketplace is better for a quick local sale during the holidays.
Selling Tips
Wait until early November to list to maximize price. Use keywords: 'PartyLite', 'Winter Scene', 'Snowy Trees', 'Christmas Decor', 'Frosted Glass'. Take a photo with a battery-operated candle inside to show how the light illuminates the frosted trees. Consider 'bundling' if you find more than one to create a matched set.
