This vibrant ceramic piece is a Vintage Fiesta Bulb Candle Holder (also known as a "Round Candlestick") produced by the Homer Laughlin China Company.
  • Pattern Name: Bulb Candle Holder (Item Code: CANDB or 0488).
  • Color: This shade is the classic "Original Red" (sometimes called radioactive red due to the uranium used in the glaze), which naturally has a deep orange-red appearance.
  • Production Era:
    • Vintage: These were first introduced in 1936 and produced in the original red color until late 1942.
  • Design Features: A spherical orb top supported by four scrolling feet on a square base.
  • The Bottom Markings: Vintage pieces (1936–1942) usually have a flat, unglazed bottom (white ceramic showing) with small impressed numbers like your "22." M
  • The Color: If the color is a deep, tomato-red/orange, it is the "Original Red." This glaze used uranium oxide and is famously (and safely) slightly radioactive. Modern red (Scarlet) is more of a true "lipstick" red without the orange tint.
  • The "Feet": Examine the four scroll feet. On vintage models, the detailing in the scrolls is often sharper and more pronounced than on the modern reproductions.
