$295 USDEarly Antique Heisey Plaid Swung Vase - 24"
Glass:Antique
An impressive vase, remarkably tall and slender, in an uncommon antique Heisey pattern. Elegant and dramatic. Although this piece dates back to the turn of the 19th C into the 20th, it has a truly modern look and will appeal to many aficionados of Mid Century as well as contemporary design. The 'Plaid' pattern has no number, and Dunbar's book, 'Heisey Glass - The Early Years: 1896-1924' says "This is a very hard to find pattern with few pieces available..." I have searched for months now and ...
$295 USD Offers ConsideredPair of Blue Victorian Opaline Glass Vases w/ Gilded and Cold Painted Decoration
Glass:Antique
A shapely pair of eye-popping blue vases that might very well masquerade as a pair of candlesticks on your mantle. The cold painted decoration of grape leaves and vines is punctuated with raised clusters of glowing golden grapes, the gold being a perfect foil for the vivid blue of the glass. Almost periwinkle, but not quite... the color is striking, really remarkable. Condition is great with a bit of wear to the gold, and a couple of the most minor nibbles to the rim that can be felt more than ...
$295 USD Offers Considered1893 Chicago World's Fair Flask - Etched Glass - World's Columbian Exposition - Crystal
Glass:Antique
Here's Luck! This glass flask with its cheerful motto is an unusual find indeed. I know, because I've been looking for another similar flask from the World's Columbian Exposition, and simply cannot find one anywhere. Amazing that it has survived these 100+ years so successfully. Condition is grand. The glass is as near perfect as you might wish, with only the tiniest of nibbles along the crisp ground bottom edge which is greatly magnified in the photograph, but virtually invisible to the eye ...
$325 USD Offers ConsideredGorham Sterling Silver & Mouth Blown Glass Bowl
Glass:Vintage
A glowing, delicate beauty of a bowl. Luminous lavender glass, the color changing subtly as it thins toward the top lip, supported by a classic sterling silver base; nothing could be lovelier than the simple elegance of this auspicious pairing. The exquisite mouth blown glass is particularly thin and elegant... difficult to capture in a photograph. The two parts separate; the glass top has a silver plated, threaded knob that fits into a similarly threaded opening in the sterling base. Condition ...
$135 USD Offers ConsideredVictorian 'Mother of Pearl' Air Trap Tumbler w/ Herringbone Design
Glass:Antique
Beautiful with mysterious depth, this patterned antique tumbler is a fantastic example of the skill of Victorian glass blowers. Wonderful tumbler with a herringbone design trapped in its interior, and a yellow blush at the lip. Similar to the more common 'quilted' examples, this pretty displays a star on its base that continues up the sides in a series of chevrons. With an acid etched 'Mother of Pearl' finish, and a fire polished lip, it is a beautifully finished example. I'm not sure who made ...
$275 USD Offers ConsideredAntique Moser Green to Clear Glass Vase - Gilded & Enameled
Glass:Antique
A lovely Moser vase with wonderfully delicate coloring that goes from green at it's trumpet shaped top to clear at it's bulbous bottom, this color grading being typical of these early Moser pieces. Embellished with enamel decoration and further enhanced with gilded details, this vase is a stunner. The gilded top edge displaying a small crisp bevel, also a mark of early Moser. Condition is very nice, with no chips, cracks or repairs, just a bit of wear to the gilding. Standing 9 18" tall, it is a ...
$175 USD Offers ConsideredVallerysthal Glass 'Argonaut Shell' Lidded Blue Dolphin Bowl - French
Glass:Antique
This beautiful, elaborately decorated dolphin bowl was made in France by Vallerysthal. Vallerysthal made a series of pressed glass animal dishes in the 19th C, and is still producing today. This pattern, called 'Argonaut Shell', was copied by Westmoreland, the later, American bowls, having slightly different design details. This lovely covered bowl is just dripping with festoons of shells, pressed in deep relief. Three dolphin feet support the bowl, and the lid is crowned by a single large shell ...
$2,600 USD Offers ConsideredSigned Moser Absinthe Glasses - 19th Century- FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING
Glass:Antique
As you probably already know, most old Moser is unsigned. That's why you see so many pieces attributed to Moser... but could be French... or some other Bohemian maker... or, or, or... and that's why these glasses are so unusual. All nine are signed with the etched mark Moser used for their exported items from 1891 - 1895. WOW! The bright, delicious, spring green Y-shaped bowls emerge out of the clear stems, the color darkening as it approaches the lip. The green coloration is deeper on some of ...
$295 USD Offers ConsideredPretty, Pretty Hand Blown Goblet w/ Latticino Stem & Candy Twist Stripes
Glass:Vintage
What a winner, I simply couldn't resist buying this fantastic piece of glass. It made me laugh, it made me think of spring, the candy colors are so mouth watering I just wanted to eat it up. And it was so cheerful I knew you would love it as much as I do. I would guess it is Italian, 20th C, and beautifully made... don't have to guess about that last one. The outer surface of the bowl has a satin finish which just makes you want to reach out and wrap your fingers around it, and when you turn it ...
$295 USD Offers ConsideredAntique Moser Glass Shell Dish - Classic Moser Green w/ Hand Painting
Glass:Antique
This opulently decorated shell dish is a fantastic treasure that will have you marveling at Moser's unparalleled craftsmanship. A real beauty, it is covered on both sides of the glass with exquisite enamel swirls, flowers, and dots, typical of Moser work. There is also a generous amount of gilding, including the crisply ground, beveled edges which are also Moser hallmarks. The bottom flutes are ground flat in a few places, so that the dish sits without rocking. Condition is wonderful, no chips, ...
$145 USD Offers ConsideredMid Century Swedish Art Glass Vase - Bo Borgstrom for Aseda - Moderne - Mod - 1960's
Glass:Vintage
This sleek design by Bo Borgstrom is set off beautifully by the fine black and clear striations, a sophisticated interplay of organic pattern with streamlined shape. Further, the 'grain' of the color patterning follows in one direction, but looking through the glass, the grain appears to be going in opposite directions, cross hatched from front to back, creating an additional layer of depth within the piece. Particularly well proportioned, a powerful and striking design. Condition is grand, with ...
$160 USD Offers ConsideredWavecrest Hand Painted Dresser Jar - Milk Glass - Opaline
Glass:Antique
This lovely diminutive dresser jar is the perfect size to corral a few odd pretties on your dresser. The heavily embossed glass is decorated front and back with painted flowers resembling pink daisies, or more specifically the Echinacea we all hear about so much these days; and highlighted with a delicate gadrooned brass edge. Never had a top... very pretty. Wavecrest was first manufactured by C. F. Monroe in the 1880's in Meriden, CT, and production ended in 1916, after only a few short years. ...
$75 USD Offers ConsideredEAPG Ruby Flash Scroll and Cane Spooner - West Virginia Glass Company 1894
Glass:Antique
A late Victorian ruby flash scroll and cane spooner. The deep ruby flash on this piece accents the pressed design without overwhelming it, creating a lively interplay between shape and color. Condition is very nice with some expected wear to the edges of the ruby flash, but really nothing to write home about. Measures 4½" tall, and 4¼" in diameter at it's widest point. Made by the West Virginia Glass Company around 1894, this is a lovely example with desirable coloring, and would enhance any ...
$195 USD Offers ConsideredTrio of German or Bohemian "Roemer" Glasses or Rummers w/ Uranium or 'Vaseline' Stems
Glass:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
These unusual glasses have vaseline stems that phosphoresce intensely under black light. The shape is traditionally German or Bohemian, and a classic. Condition is great, with no problems to report. Each of these pretties measures just shy of 6", with slight differences in height among the three, testament to their individual manufacture. A wonderful and unexpected addition to a collection of vaseline glass. Sip some cool Liebfraumilch in the spring or whip up some toddies to warm you by a ...
$135 USD Offers ConsideredHammond & Creake SP & Cut Glass Cruet Set or Jam Pots - 1886 - 1935 - Silver Plate
Glass:Vintage
A lovely set of jam pots that will mix seamlessly with all your fine antiques. Although I bought these cruets as a condiment set, with the two little forks pictured here, and they would be nice for olives and gherkins, I really think the faceted glass would look beautiful with the warm red or orange of a tasty preserve inside, no? The mark on the bottom of the caddy is Hammond Creake & Company, 1886 - 1935, Sheffield, England. I think the forks are volunteers, Vernon Silver Plate, but I include ...
$265 USD Offers ConsideredEAPG Bead & Scroll Etched Glass Berry Bowl Set - circa 1900 - FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING
Glass:Antique
A charming set that's just so pretty. This berry set consists of a master serving bowl and six small individual bowls in the 'Bead and Scroll' pattern with a lovely etch of leaves, flowers and berries. The small bowls have a triangular shape, almost like a tricorn, very unusual. The Bead and Scroll pattern was named by collectors, and it is not known for certain which company produced it. Many think it was US Glass Co., while others have speculated that it might be Riverside. In fact, the maker ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredThomas Webb & Sons Wheel Cut & Polished Glass Compote or Comport - English - 1906 - 1935
Glass:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
A beautiful wheel-cut and polished compote from the premier English firm of Thomas Webb & Sons. Impossibly tall and slender, this beauty will mix perfectly with all your antiques. The decoration is crisp and accurate, catching the light in an abundance of tiny, glittering sparkles. Condition is as perfect as you might wish, as originally made. The acid etched mark on this piece was used by Webb from 1906 - 1935. Measures 8" tall, with a top diameter of 6 3/8", and a bottom diameter of 3 3/4". ...
$95 USD Offers ConsideredFour Clear Glass Enameled Victorian Tumblers
Glass:Antique
What a lovely set. Just perfect for that fresh squeezed orange juice we all love so much. And these optic ribbed beauties are substantial enough to stand up to regular use. Condition is very nice, with no chips or cracks. The bases stand on a slightly raised ring that is ground, with one ground ring showing a bit of roughness, and there is some wear to the gold. When I photographed them (and that was no simple task!) I saw for the first time that the color tone of the glass is different one from ...
$65 USD Offers ConsideredEtched Green Glass Candlesticks w/ Gilded Details - Central Glass Company - Lotus Decorating Company
Glass:Vintage
A nice pair of early green glass candlesticks with etched decoration and gilded accents. I believe the sticks are Central Glass Company's No. 2000 candlestick with Lotus Decorating Company's No. 889 etch. They are beautiful, and aside from a bit of wear to the gold, in primo condition. They measure 3 1/8" tall and the bases are about 4 3/4" in diameter. I show the etch sitting on a table and transmitting light, which accounts for the difference in color. I can see them almost anywhere... just an ...
$265 USD Offers ConsideredOpaline Glass Vase w/ Hand Painted Flowers & Ground Bottom
Glass:Possibly Antique (Marks Not Definitive)
When I first saw this piece I thought it was porcelain, but it turned out to be beautiful opaline glass. Covered with bright multi colored flowers that appear to be hand painted over an outline transfer, and decorated with gold on the flared lip and foot. There are roses, and tulips, and some flowers I don't recognize; they all appear multiple times around this beauty, but there are no exact repeats of any of the design elements. Just lovely. The bottom is ground, with appropriate wear for an ...
$165 USD Offers ConsideredFine French Opaline Tumbler w/ Gilded Bees & Stars - Milk Glass
Glass:Antique
A lovely example of antique French Opaline glass, which we all know is some of the finest in the world... and just look at those bees and stars... very chic. The bee has been associated with France since Napoleon made it a symbol of his reign. He liked the bees' selfless and organized work, the way they unquestioningly followed their leader. This beautiful glass glows amber with an inner fire when transmitting light, and shows an icy blue cast when the background is dark... changeable and moody, ...
$395 USD Offers ConsideredCollection of 19th C Decorated Victorian Tumblers - Glasses - Goblets
Glass:Antique
These antique, mouth blown tumblers are charming with their glowing colors and abundant decoration. And their appeal is only magnified when presented in multiples like this... a trick-of-the-trade many designers use. A wonderful way to start an 'instant collection' or add to an existing one. This collection of variously decorated tumblers displays applied enamels (transparent and opaque) along with a generous amount of gilding. The smaller pink tumbler was colored in the molten 'gather' with ...
$225 USD Offers ConsideredFour Romer / Roemer / Rummer Wine Glasses w/ Etched & Gilded Decoration
Glass:Antique
A set of beautiful glasses in the classic shape used for Germany's white Rhine wine, just in time for sharing a bottle of cool white on a warm lazy evening. The lively wheel cut and gilded design on the bowls make them real winners. The origin of this 'Romer' shape dates back to the Alsace region of Medieval Germany / France. Beginning in the 16th C, Romer glasses evolved their more modern form with a ribbed stem replacing the prunts (blobs of glass first used in Ancient Rome) that had ...
$165 USD Offers Considered19th C Victorian Bristol Glass Lidded Jar with Cold Painted Bird Decoration
Glass:Antique
A lovely Bristol Glass Lidded Jar with cold painted decoration including a bird carrying a letter, leaves, flowers, and some abstract curlicues. The jar has an integral pediment like foot and a fitted lid with knob. Did I mention it's in very nice condition? On close inspection, I found a couple of nibbles on the inside of the rim of the jar, not noticeable even when the lid is off unless you are looking very closely. No cracks, or repairs, just some minor paint wear. I'm not sure what this jar ...
$150 USD Offers ConsideredFour Romer / Roemer / Rummer Wine Glasses w/ Amber Stems & Wheel Cut Etched Decoration
Glass:Antique
A set of beautiful glasses in the classic shape used for Germany's white Rhine wine. The origin of this 'Romer' shape dates back to the Alsace region of Medieval Germany / France. Beginning in the 16th C, Romer glasses evolved their more modern form with a ribbed stem replacing the prunts (blobs of glass first used in Ancient Rome) that had originally provided a grip on the stem, with decoration on the bowl in the form of etching, cutting, gilding, and enamel work also emerging. Condition is ...
SOLDSOLD Stunning Pair of Baccarat Decanters - d'Assas
Glass:Vintage
Think of this fabulous pair of cut crystal Baccarat decanters as jewelry for your home. Beautiful, classic, functional accessories that will add a bit of sparkle to a holiday setting, or a grace note to any day. And Baccarat, of course, is the best. The tapering shape of the bottles and stoppers is sleek and timeless, and the vertically cut design sets this off to perfection. These beauties will complement any decor, from classic opulence to mid century modern. There is expected wear to the ...
SOLDSOLD Pair of Zanfirico Latticino Italian Murano Vases - Square & Diamond Shaped
Glass:Antique
The Italians are accomplished, and recognized masters of glassblowing art, and these little bottles are a testament to that, with their elaborately patterned designs and differing shapes. The glass displays a wonderful yellow edged in metallic gold 'Zanfirico' (sometimes called 'filigrana a retortoli', or 'twisted ribbons'), alternating with a pretty, white latticino twist. Both of these lovely bulbous containers gather quickly into a graceful, narrow neck, the Zanfirico and latticino ...
SOLDSOLD Early Cased Glass Beverage Set - Fitted Bar - Czechoslovakia - Czechoslovakian - Czech
Glass:Vintage
What an astonishing piece of early Czechoslovakian glass. In 1918, the Czechs and the Slovaks (two distinct peoples) were united, set free from the domination of Austria-Hungary, and given a country of their own... Czechoslovakia. The same glass artists that had created Bohemian, Moser, and Austrian glass rejoiced, expressing this through their work with an explosion of color and creativity. This beverage set is of that era. The top opens to reveal a fitted 'bar', with a decanter and six glasses ...| Items 1 - 28 of 28 | Page 1 of 1 |
