Penland Weavers and Potters

These copper candleholders were hand made by an unidentified metal smith producing items for sale through the Penland Weavers and Potters, Penland, N.C. The outside edge has been hammered as the only decoration. They were most likely made during the 1940s to 1960s, although they may have been produced as early as the 1930s. These are marked "Penland Handicrafts." Penland Weavers and Potters was a craft production center that operated out of the Penland School of Handicrafts (now the Penland School of Crafts) in Mitchell County, N.C. from the early 1920s to the late 1960s.
