    Seneca Glass, USA, Lilly Pad Art Deco Whiskey Shot Set

    Set of 5 Lily Pad Art Deco shot glasses from the 1930’s.  All in excellent condition.

    Made by Seneca Glass in the 1930’s, one of the pioneers of the West Virginia Glass community.

    The black glass Lily Pad foot is hand crimped and applied to colorless vessel. The black glass is actually a very, very dark amethyst. Dark reds, purples and greens were used to simulate black glass back in the day because a true solid black glass recipe hadn’t yet been discovered. Holding the ‘black’ glass to the light, one will see glints of the true color. The lily pad foot reflects glints of purple.

    In the old days, shot glasses were called “whiskeys”. Perhaps we should call them “Tequilas” today. Great fun to use. Measure 2.5″ tall.

  • Stunning three pound ruby and uranium glass art peach figurine. This absolutely beautiful vintage sommerso glass peach with hand-blown quality glass. The peach is blown hollow with heavy, very thick walls. The ample emerald green stem and leaf were tooled separately and applied to the peach.The Venetian glass peach is blown in sommerso (2 layers of glass blown together) with heavy, very thick walls. The ample emerald green stem and leaf were tooled separately and applied to the peach.

    Magnificent Venetian Glass Peach in Rubina Verde Gold Veil

    Large and beautiful vintage Venetian glass peach blown in sommerso. It’s larger than we expect from the already large mid-20th Century mod fruit figurines. Three full pounds of art glass, a pound more than the standard large size.

    The coloring graduates from red to greenish yellow. The green/yellow glass contains Uranium (element used during war time and periods when lead was scarce) and illuminates bright green under black light. This color combination was called ‘Rubena Verde’, also spelled ‘Rubina’, and is usually found on glass from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s.

    Hand-blown quality glass. The Venetian glass peach is blown in sommerso (2 layers of glass blown together) with heavy, very thick walls. The ample emerald green stem and leaf were tooled separately and applied to the peach. Decorated internally with diamond quilted controlled bubbles surrounded by veils of gold aventurine. Stunning. The glass is quality and in excellent condition. The figurine has medium-weight bottom wear on the flat polished seat which is expected.

    No signature. It’s hard to believe a masterpiece like this is not signed. Maker unknown.  Probably Italian made, but has a small chance it could be American made (Boston area). The internal bubbles and gold veils point directly to Italy, but the unusual coloring was used in 19th and early 20th century high-end American, British and French glass too.

    Weighs 3 lbs. Measures 4½” tall, 5½” at widest with a circumference of 15½”. Shown next to a medium-size lemon and lime in image 6 to help show it’s large size.

    Big Murano art glass dog clown weighs nearly 5 pounds!

    Made by glass master De mio Giuliano in his studio located on the isle of Murano.  Expert glasswork produced this very large dog sculpture which features numerous difficult decor methods.

    The head and body were made separately then applied together.  Each part was hand-blown in Sommerso which means at least two different pulls of  glass were blown together. The inner layer is in a dark fumed graduated colors of deep red/brown, orange, yellow and gold. Fumed glass is treated with chemicals to add luminescence and sheen. The exterior layer is colorless glass.  The head and body were applied together then dipped in another chemical to produce a satiny frosted effect to the exterior. The satin glass eyes, ears, nose, snout, tongue and bow were fashioned by hand and applied with heat. The stylized feet and tail were accomplished by hand-tool.

    This magnificent contemporary art glass dog sculpture was created within the last 10 years. It is in excellent condition. Stands 10″ tall, 6½” at widest base, and weighs a healthy 4¾ pounds. Polished flat base with pontil scar evident. A pontil scar is the area where the glassblower’s punty rod held the piece during forming.

    This big silly puppy is perfect for a high shelf in the baby or kids room. Or a great addition to a clown collection. Every clown needs a good clown dog.
