Here some key details about this type of candlestick:

• Era and Production: Uranium glass, including candlesticks like the one pictured, was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a notable surge in production during the American Depression Era (roughly 1929-1939), where it was often a mass-produced and affordable item.

• Safety: Despite containing uranium, the levels are generally considered safe for handling and display, as the radioactivity is minimal and largely contained within the glass.

• Identification: The defining feature of uranium glass is its vibrant fluorescence under a black light. While some pieces are marked with a manufacturer's stamp (like Fostoria), many Depression-era pieces, including these candlesticks, are often unmarked.

• Patterns and Styles: These candlesticks come in various patterns and designs, from simple, unadorned styles to more elaborate etched or molded patterns like floral or scroll motifs.

• Collectibility: Vintage uranium glass, particularly well-preserved pieces or those with unique patterns, is a sought-after item among collectors today.
