Fostoria American Crystal 8″ Plate Set of Eight
Set of eight 8″ Fostoria Glass plates. Fostoria called their 8″ plate a “sauce bowl liner”. It would work as a salad or side dish also. They have a deep center and slightly upturned rims.
The plates have no chips, no cracks, no liquid damage. They have been used, and do have utensil scratches in the center that can be seen when viewed close-up. The plates reflect a yellowish green indicating an early make. Fostoria made this popular pattern for about 70 years, from 1915 to 1981.
Thick, heavy crystal. Plates weigh 1 pound each. The American pattern was used on a huge line of glassware. Many shapes were made. Some are hard to find, like plates, stemware, decanters. Huge fun to collect a table service.

Fostoria 1920’s Glass Perfume and Powder Jar
Rare & Distinctive 1920’s Perfume Bottle & Powder Jar. In excellent condition. The unused powder puff is included. This design was patented by Fostoria in 1923 and was produced only 4 years, 1924 – 1927. Extremely hard to find in whole condition. This bottle has an interesting variant. The stopper shown in reference materials is a pointed finial with a long dauber reaching inside the perfume bottle. This stopper does not have a dauber. It is solid glass, with beveled edges, and in perfect condition. Is the stopper original to the bottle? The glass recipe is the same – exact matching color -and the stopper fits. We believe the stopper is original and is a variant design. Stopper and neck are ground.
Beautiful, well-made glass is clear and brilliant. Seat ring on base is polished. Appropriate bottom-wear. Measures 6 3/8″ tall, 4.5″ wide base.

Forest Green Vintage Crackle Glass Window Pitcher
Shimmering dark lime green vintage crackle glass jug. Hand blown from mold and hand finished with applied handle. In excellent condition. A collection of these fabulous, colorful window vases was spotted in the movie “Sweet Poisen”, starring Anthony Perkins, filmed in 1968. The mother of the “bad girl” displayed them in a window box next to the front door. Window vases of this type were very popular then and are not made today. They look beautiful sitting in areas where the sun can shine through them.
Made by Kanawha, Viking, Rainbow or Pilgrim art glass in the 1960’s – 1970’s. It’s hard to say which of the fabulous 5 mid-century American glassmakers produced this item. We are sure it is not from Blenko Art Glass. Of the four remaining, our best guess is Rainbow Art Glass.
Measures 4.75″ tall and 3.5″ at widest. Thick, finely crackled vintage glass.

Floragold Louisa Stick Butter Dish by Jeannette Glass
Beautiful 1/4 lb butter dish and cover in Floragold (gold iridescent finish) Louisa (intricate pattern of vines and leaves). Made by the Jeannette Glass Co. in the 1950’s.

On the inside rim, under the lid, there are two small chips and 1 sliver chip. Caused by replacing the lid with too much vigor. Can only be seen when the lid is lifted.
Great for your holiday and/or party table. Holds one standard size stick of butter.

There is another stopper on the base of the medium ball that inserts into the large ball. Both stoppers are ground to fit. Awesome find. The finial stopper can top the stacked bubbles, or top the bottom compartment to create a smaller bottle. Beautiful and innovative.

Fine Blown Bohemian Glass Cocktail or Champagne Stem
Three Harlequin colored Tango stems. Stunning early 20th century hand-blown cocktail stems or champagne glasses. Offered as a set of three. Colored blown crystal bowls have a thick layer of glass between the bowl and the stem. The thickness of the glass reflects the color in darker tones near the top of the stem, the effect is shown in the images. Beautiful. Quality made. The stems appear to be opaque black glass under normal lighting, but they are actually “Black Amethyst”. When held to the light, the stems reflect a deep jewel-like amethyst color. The stem and base were drawn separately, then applied to each other, then applied to the bowl. The pontil was removed from the inverted base. Small, smooth round pontil mark in center.
In good+ condition. There are no obvious flaws. These elegant deco stems were stored upside down (not an appropriate way to store glassware), with the rim of the bowl facing the surface. So, the expected bottom-wear is not found on the base, it is found on the rims. The invisible chigger wear can be felt by running your finger around the rim. It is not serious, there no jagged edges. The smoke green bowl has no detectible “rim wear” and is considered in excellent condition. The amethyst bowl has very light “rim wear” and one tiny sliver chigger, too small to show up in the images, it is barely visible to the eye. The pink bowl has the most rim wear, but again it is not serious. There are no chips or cracks. Glass is clean and brilliant.
Probably of Bohemian descent from a fine maker. Age estimated at 80 years+. Circa 1920’s.
This style was usually sold with mixed colors, known as “Harlequin”. All hand-blown, none have the exact same height. Measure approximately 5.75″ tall with a 4″ wide bowl.

Crisp lines are a result of a newer mold. Items from a new mold are older. Picks up and reflects surrounding colors like magic. Measures 3″ tall, 2.75″ wide, weighs 3/4 lb.

Elegant Depression Glass Covered 3-Part Dish with Enamel Pansies
Perfectly preserved hand-painted enamel pansies have no wear. They are as bright and complete as the day they were made…at least 80 years ago. It is rare to see the enamel in such perfect condtion because normal cleaning procedures and the elements work together to fade and chip away the enamel as years go by. This dish was well-cared for.
The gold paint rim shows medium wear and is about 80% present. The gold on the finger tabs show the most wear. The gold on the inner rim (upon which the lid sits) has rubbing wear from the lid. The glod trim on the side of the lid and side of the container show minimal wear.
The glass is in original, perfect condition. It is Depression grade crystal, made with magnesium instead of lead. This is the type of glass that turns ‘sun purple’ if left under constant exposure to UV light. This beautiful covered dish is crystal clear with no purpling.
The dish has 3 compartments inside for your favorite treats, or selection of sauces or relishes. Makes a nice treasure box too. Stunning on the dining table, end table or vanity. Made by Duncan Miller in the 1930’s. Nice heavy, quality glass, mold lines have been polished out. Measures 6½” round not including the ½” finger tabs. At least 80 years old.

El Rancho 1970’s Bryce Glass Large Beverage Pitcher
Large Bryce Glass El Ranco beverage pitcher. Hand-formed mid-century art glass pitcher in forest green with ice lip. This is a stunning beverage pitcher. In the late 1950’s to early 1960’s, smoked colors were very popular. What was known as “Swedish Modern Glass” was the rage. The Scandinavian makers introduced fabulous colors and organic styling, which was imitated by other countries. The Scandinavians also produced many styles imitating ice, wood and other organic surfaces, and other makers of the era followed suit. In America, makers such as Duncan Miller, Tiffin, Bryce (to name a few) made Crinkle, Ockner, El Mexicana and El Rancho, etc. The pattern on this pitcher matches El Rancho by Bryce Bros. Glass Co., pre 1967.
The color is awesome. It is a solid forest green, but the color darkens at thicker areas of the glass (handle, base). This large pitcher was hand-blown from mold with (no seam lines) hand-tooled spout and applied hand-blown handle.
Measures 9.5″ tall, 7.5″ from spout to handle. Weighs 3 lbs. In excellent condition.
