This is a holly leaf candleholder with a handle. It is about 5” long, 3 ½” wide, and 1 ¾” high.

There are no cracks. It has a chip on one of the tips on the top and a chip on the bottom. The red on some of the berry clusters has wear, more on one cluster than the other. Some of the other tips have some paint loss or flakes that may seem like chips, but I don’t think they are. The top and inside of the candle holder is blackened, likely from the candles used over the years. There are some rough spots that would have occurred during the production process.

There’s no manufacturer’s mark, but there is a number on the bottom that could be “777.” These were typically made in the 1950s or 1960s in Japan.
