Vintage Federal Glass Normandie Amber Footed Sherbet Candle

This charming vintage amber glass sherbet cup features the beautifully detailed Normandie pattern, also known as Bouquet and Lattice, with delicate embossed floral bouquets, an intricate crisscross lattice design, and a gently flared bowl resting on a petite pedestal foot. Its warm golden-amber coloring catches the light beautifully, highlighting the intricate pressed-glass detailing and giving the piece a soft, nostalgic glow.

Produced by the Federal Glass Company during the 1930s, the Normandie pattern is a lovely example of Depression-era glassware. Founded in Columbus, Ohio, in 1900, Federal Glass became known for producing affordable yet decorative pressed glass for American households. During the Great Depression, colorful glassware brought beauty and elegance to everyday dining, with pieces often offered as inexpensive tableware or promotional items. The Normandie pattern, with its distinctive floral and lattice motifs, reflects the era's appreciation for ornate detailing and practical beauty. Footed sherbet cups like this were traditionally used for serving ice cream, fruit, desserts, or even champagne at the table.

Originally created as an elegant piece of Depression-era tableware, this vintage sherbet cup has been thoughtfully repurposed into a candle, preserving its delicate detailing and nostalgic charm while giving it a beautiful and functional second life.

The vessel has been filled with 3.08 oz of all-natural soy wax, hand-poured to complement its petite vintage form.

Fresh, delicate, and beautifully soothing, White Tea opens with bright notes of mandarin and bergamot, creating a soft citrus introduction. Aromatic thyme, jasmine, and ginger unfold at the heart, adding a subtle botanical warmth, while white tea and chrysanthemum bring a clean, calming finish. The fragrance is light and sophisticated, reminiscent of a peaceful afternoon spent enjoying a freshly brewed cup of tea.

The airy, refreshing fragrance pairs beautifully with the warm amber glass, creating a candle that feels both nostalgic and effortlessly elegant. Its petite size makes it a lovely accent for a bedside table, bathroom shelf, or cozy corner of the home.

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