Vintage Indiana Glass Tiara Sandwich Banana Boat Candle

This charming vintage clear glass banana boat bowl features the beautifully detailed Sandwich pattern, with a distinctive starburst-inspired motif decorating its sides and a deeply scalloped, ruffled rim. Its elongated oval shape, gently flared sides, and intricate pressed-glass detailing give the piece a delicate, almost floral appearance. The crystal-clear glass catches and reflects the light beautifully, highlighting its sculptural edges and timeless vintage charm.

Produced by Indiana Glass and offered through the Tiara Exclusives line, the Sandwich pattern draws inspiration from traditional early American pressed-glass designs. Indiana Glass, established in Dunkirk, Indiana, in 1907, became known for its decorative and functional pressed glassware, producing a wide variety of patterns throughout the 20th century. Tiara Exclusives, a home-party sales company active during the 1970s and 1980s, offered collectible glassware in both classic and contemporary designs. Banana boat bowls like this were traditionally used for serving ice cream sundaes, fruit, candies, and small desserts, bringing a decorative touch to everyday entertaining.

Originally created as a charming piece of vintage dessert glassware, this crystal banana boat bowl has been thoughtfully repurposed into a candle, preserving its intricate detailing and nostalgic character while giving it a beautiful and functional second life.

The vessel has been filled with 5.38 oz of all-natural soy wax, featuring two wicks to complement its elongated shape.

Dimensions:

Approximately 5.25" long × 3.25" wide × 2.5" tall

Scent: Elderberry Nectar

• Top Notes: Elderberry, Mandarin, Green Tea
• Middle Notes: Raspberry, Geranium

Lush, fruity, and beautifully sophisticated, Elderberry Nectar opens with the rich sweetness of elderberry, bright mandarin, and a delicate hint of green tea. Juicy raspberry and soft geranium unfold at the heart, adding a fresh floral dimension, while warm sandalwood and oakwood create a smooth, grounding finish. The fragrance is an inviting balance of ripe berries, delicate botanicals, and subtle woods.

The rich, romantic fragrance pairs beautifully with the delicate crystal-clear glass, creating a candle that feels both playful and elegant. Its scalloped edges and petite, elongated silhouette make it a lovely accent for a vanity, bedside table, or thoughtfully styled shelf, bringing a little vintage charm to any corner of the home.

Once the candle has finished burning, the vessel can be carefully cleaned and repurposed as a decorative trinket dish, jewelry holder, small keepsake bowl, or treasured piece of vintage pressed glass.
