$45 USD Offers ConsideredEtched Bohemia Crystal Bell, Made in Czechoslovakia
Glass:By Type:Crystal Bell
I found this etched crystal bell at the local estate sale of someone who collected crystal bells, and she seems to have been interested primarily in those with facets. I bought four, and three of them have faceted handles. This 6-3/4" bell has a six-sided handle that's 3.5" high. There is no clapper. The top of the handle is flat and also six-sided (photo 2). The opening of the bell is 2-3/4" in diameter, and the body is encircled by an intricately etched floral design (photo 3). Attached at the ...
$15 USD Offers ConsideredWest German Lead Crystal Bell, Label
Glass:By Type:Lead Crystal Bell
I found this crystal "bell" at the local estate sale of someone who collected crystal bells. I hesitate to call this a bell. It's bell-shaped and lacks a clapper. It looks more like an eight-sided champagne flute turned upside-down. The top of the handle is also eight-sided (photo 2). The bell is 7-7/8" high, and 1-7/8" in diameter. Attached near the bottom of the bell is its original gold foil label, which describes it as 24% PbO, "Genuine Hand Cut Lead Crystal, Made in Western Germany" (photo ...
$25 USD Offers ConsideredKrosno Engraved Crystal Bell, Made in Poland
Glass:By Type:Lead Crystal Bell
I found this engraved crystal bell at the local estate sale of someone who collected crystal bells, and she seems to have been interested primarily in those with facets. I bought four, and three of them have faceted handles. This 7.5" bell has a six-sided handle that's 3.5" high. The clapper is a chain of six small beads with a large faceted bead at the end (photos 2 & 6). The top of the handle is also six-sided and has a peak (photo 3). The opening of the bell is 2.5" in diameter, and the body ...
$12 USD Offers ConsideredDecorative Clear & Multicolored Leaf-Shaped Whimsy, Danny Watson
Glass:By Type:Contemporary Art Glass:Danny Watson
This leaf-shaped whimsy contains clear red, opaque orange, and black on one side. On the other there is also an opaque green with a hint of dark blue or purple along one edge. One side is textured (photo 5), the other is smoothly polished. I believe its only function is decorative. I bought it at a local estate sale, and was told that the artist, Danny Watson, was a member of the household. His work is often included as part of the First Friday Art Trail here in Lubbock. The whimsy is in mint ...
$36 USD Offers ConsideredLarge Plum-colored Scalloped Centerpiece Bowl
Glass:By Type:Art Glass
This cased-glass scalloped centerpiece bowl is a beautiful example of the art glass technique called "agata" because it imitates the colorful swirling patterns found in agates. It displays many shades of plum, ranging from a light pink to burgundy, with some streaks of white. While the interior is highly polished, the exterior is a lightly textured matte finish. The agata repeats the scalloping of the rim in several overlapping layers, all covered with a layer of clear glass (photo 7). The bowl ...
$12 USD Offers ConsideredMother and Chick Cobalt Glass Gilded Quail, Mold-blown
Glass:By Type:Decorative Quail Figurines
I found this gilded cobalt mother and chick quail pair at the rural estate sale where I purchased the quail covered dishes, but this isn't the first time I've run across molded glass quail in this region. The mother quail is 3.5" high and 3.5" long (photo 5); the chick is 2" high and 2.5" long (photo 6). Some of the gilding has worn off, and the mother has what looks like a spot of white paint that may be easily removed (photo 5). Both have bases covered by green felt (photo 7), and what appear ...
$8 USD Offers ConsideredPair of Blue Art Glass Swans, Hand-blown
Glass:By Type:Art Glass:Animals
I'm listing these blue swans together because swans mate for life. It would be a shame to separate them. Both are 2-3/4" high and 2-1/4" long. The bases are ground and polished and show some wear, but there are no chips or flakes.
$32 USD Offers ConsideredBlack-and-White Speckled Sommerso Vase, Danny Watson
Glass:By Type:Contemporary Art Glass:Danny Watson
This black-and-white speckled sommerso vase was made by Danny Watson, a local glass artist often featured in Lubbock's First Friday Art Trails. This is not an easy vase to describe because of its complexity. The black-and-white speckles are primarily at the top of the vase, while the bottom half is almost a solid opaque black with oval shapes of various sizes that show white, black (yes, black-on-black), and a metallic sheen the color of hematite (photo 7). While the top half is predominantly ...
$36 USD Offers ConsideredAmethyst Abstract Elephant Figure w/ Orange Eyes, Mint
Glass:By Type:Contemporary Art Glass:Danny Watson
This strange creature was made by Danny Watson, a local glass artist often featured in Lubbock's First Friday Art Trails. It may or may not be an elephant abstractly conceived, but that's what I think it is (after much contemplation). The body is amethyst glass with light purple bits of glass aligned in ridges on the surface of the glass (photo 8). These can be felt by hand. The rear is an attached circle of glass covered with turquoise, green, and ivory strands of glass (photos 6 & 7). One ...
$275 USD Offers ConsideredUnusual Slender Iridescent Cobalt Vase w/ Feathering and Aurene, Art Nouveau Style
Glass:By Type:Art Nouveau Style
If you like Art Nouveau art glass such as that produced in the early 20th century by L. C. Tiffany, Victor Durand, Quezal, and the European Loetz, you'll like this unusual vase with its waves and pools of gold covering the cobalt glass. It's extremely slender--only 3/4" deep--and stands 9.5" high on an attached clear round base 2.5" in diameter. The flared rim is 2" in diameter. The outer edge of the slightly recessed base was ground so that wear doesn't show (photo 7). The vase is in mint ...
$53 USD Offers ConsideredLarge Mold-blown Dark-blue Spanish Vase, Original Label
Glass:By Type:Vase, Made In Spain
This large, dark-blue vase was made in Spain; a white paper label on the foot says "Made in Spain," and also warns that the vase must be hand-washed (photo 6). (Art glass cannot withstand extremes of heat or cold and must never be washed in a dishwasher.) Although the vase looks as though it's made of cobalt glass, it's actually clear glass covered by cobalt enamel. A stencil was used to cover portions of the vase leaving several sun or flower shapes where light can show through. You can feel ...
$28 USD Offers ConsideredStudio Art Glass Orange, Lavender, & Blue Vase, Danny Watson
Glass:By Type:Contemporary Art Glass:Danny Watson
I bought this vase (wannabe teapot) at a local estate sale (even though it's obviously repaired) because of the sheer intricacy of the techniques used to create it. The vase looks a lot like some kind of creature (a dragon?) because the attached dark blue fake spout resembles a head with an open mouth and a long curved neck. The two feet enhance this perception. Then there's what would be the handle (if it were a teapot), which curves up the other side and ends in a tight curl (photo 7). ...
$30 USD Offers ConsideredLarge Mounted Paperweight w/ Varicolored Feathering
Glass:By Type:Contemporary Art Glass:Danny Watson
As my pictures show, this heavy paperweight is mounted on a wooden pedestal and leans at a slight angle. It was made by Danny Watson, a local glass artist often featured in Lubbock's First Friday Art Trails. The light-bulb-shaped body is covered with inverted feathering of blue, silver, lavender and white. What may not show clearly in my photos is the clear space at the top where a globe of opaque white glass can be seen (photos 4 & 5). It's solid glass and quite heavy for its size. The wooden ...
$350 USD Offers ConsideredIridescent Tortoiseshell Jack-in-the-Pulpit Vase, Art Nouveau Style
Glass:By Type:Jack-in-the-pulpit
Jack-in-the-pulpit (JIP) vases--inspired by the woodland flower of North America--have long been made by U.S. glass artists, and were among the works made by such famous Art Nouveau artists as Louis Comfort Tiffany, Victor Durand, and the Quezal company of New Jersey. On first glance, this iridescent JIP vase appears to be made of a dark glass (photos 1 & 4), and the front surface shimmers with purple, lavender, blue, and turquoise in a textured pattern of diamond shapes. But when seen with ...| Items 1 - 14 of 14 | Page 1 of 1 |
