Monk Shaped Bulb Forcing Vase in Soft White Satin Glass

Soft, quality glass feels like satin. Soft white color lights up like a light bulb with bright overhead lights. Semi-opaque. Hyacinth vases are hard to find today. Most were made in the 18th and early 19th centuries. This vase was made during the Swedish Modern craze of the 1940s-1960s. Hand-blown from mold with swirled pontil and hand-finished rolled rim.
The vase measures 7″ tall on a 4″ wide base. The opening is 2.75″ wide.
When forcing a flower bulb in glass, the water should be replaced at least every 3-days to avoid water staining.

Blue Moon and Star Glass Canister Set by LE Smith
Pair of early Moon and Star pattern kitchen canisters. Made by LE Smith, circa 1930s – 1940s. The set includes a large gallon canister and a quarter gallon canister made with thick mold blown glass with pontil scars on seat (left by the makers tool). The containers were made with a 4-part mold, lids were 2-part. Both canisters have a solid band of bottom-wear which is found on the seats of very old glass caused by years of shelf-wear. Solid bands are considered an asset as they prove old age and are not considered damage.
In an image below, these canisters were imaged under blacklight. They light up neon green but are not considered Vaseline glass. It is either Uranium or Manganese in the glass recipe causing the neon reaction. These metals were commonly used during the Depression years.
Large canister measures 11½” tall, weighs 5 lbs. Smaller canister is 7″ tall and weighs 2½ lbs.

Signed Mushroom Cap Candlestick Holder
Beautiful pink cranberry stained signed & dated candlestick holder. Made by Westmoreland Glass Co. (established in 1889 – closed in 1984). The pattern was called “Irish Waterford” or “Wakefield”. The colorless glass glows light green under blacklight. This is evidence of Manganese, which will turn shades of purple if left in direct, prolonged sunlight. Gold was used in the stain recipe, it can be seen on the signature when studied under bright light. Gold was necessary to produce the dark pinkish red color. The candlestick holder was made with a 4-part mold from heavy glass with wavy straw marks.
This piece was signed by artist C. McClain 1977. An old 1970s ad for this pattern (showing this candlestick) says it is “an historic glassware of unusual charm”. Westmoreland produced this glass as exact reproductions of antique glass during the George Washington period (Victorian era).
The candlestick holder measures 5.5″ tall on a 3 5/8″ square base and weighs 2 lbs.
