This exquisite Kings Crown Thumbprint pedestal candle reflects the grandeur and geometry that made this pressed-glass pattern an American classic. Originating from Adams & Co. in 1890 and later produced by Indiana Glass through the 1970s, the Kings Crown line is defined by its regal thumbprint motif and ornate pedestal base. The milk-white opacity of this mid-century version softens its architectural form, while the candle’s hand-poured coconut-apricot wax radiates a clean, luminous glow. Elegant yet substantial, this piece evokes the timeless beauty of collectible milk glass — a sculptural vessel turned radiant heirloom.

ABOUT MILK GLASS

Milk glass has captivated us for more than a century with its luminous, milky-white glow and timeless artistry. First created in Venice in the 1500s, it rose to prominence in the United States during the late 19th and mid-20th centuries through legendary glassmakers such as Fenton, Westmoreland, Indiana Glass, Fostoria, and E.O. Brody. Known for its opaline sheen, hand-pressed textures, and ornate motifs, from hobnail and lace to diamond patterns and cabbage rose, milk glass was once a hallmark of refinement, displayed proudly in parlors and on dining tables across America. Today, each vintage piece endures as a symbol of craftsmanship and nostalgia — reimagined by True Vintage Candle as a hand-poured luminary that transforms history into light for you to enjoy.
