Vintage Indiana Glass Sleeping Cat Votive Candle Holder Clear Crystal #4458

Bring a cozy, nostalgic glow to your home with this beautiful vintage clear crystal glass sleeping cat votive candle holder by the historic Indiana Glass Company. Designed to resemble a peacefully slumbering kitty curled tightly into a ball, this stylized, mid-century modern animal figurine pulls double duty as a functional ambient light source and an artistic tabletop accent.
Crafted in the USA from solid, thick pressed lead crystal, this high-quality piece features a deep circular well specifically designed to hold a standard tealight or votive candle. When lit, the firelight dances dramatically through the polished, rounded contours and smooth folds of the glass, creating a serene, shimmering 3D reflection. Thanks to its substantial, heavy construction (weighing well over 1.5 pounds), it functions beautifully as a decorative desk paperweight or bookshelf bookend when not illuminated. This is an exceptional gift idea for cat lovers, vintage glassware enthusiasts, or collectors of Indiana Glass "Candle Lane Critters".
