  • Spangled Glass Ceremonial Goblet Vase Huge Hand-BlownLarge Spangled Glass Goblet Handblown in Amber, Black with Gold
    $160.00

    Very large spangled glass goblet hand-blown in amber, black and laden with gold.

    This vintage or antique hand-crafted art glass ceremonial goblet is made with high quality crystal and weighs 3½ pounds. Stands 11¼” tall with a 8″ wide bowl.

    The blown bowl is made with black crystal and heavy gold or copper aventurine or ‘spangle’ embedded within the glass. The applied hand-worked stem is made with amber crystal loaded with aventurine. The applied foot is in amber crystal.

    Exceptional and unusual oversize art glass goblet. Made of quality colored crystal. Rings like a bell. Because real crystal, made with lead, is rarely used today we believe this beautiful creation is of at least vintage age. The rich decor of ample aventurine is also not made much today.

    The base of the foot has very little bottom-wear. We expect to see at least medium bottom-wear on heavy vintage glass items, but this goblet’s base was protected, or rarely moved.

    It has the Venetian/Murano glass appeal and feel, but may be American blown spangled glass. Hobbs Brockunier made some hand-blown items with the same colors and decor, but that was back in the mid-1800’s.

    Large highly designed art glass goblets forms like this were used as ceremonial goblets. This stunner is a stand-alone decor eye-grabber. Would look beautiful with a artificial draping plant or floral in the cup.

    In great condition. Glass is free of water stains. Shines brilliantly. The hand-polished rim of the bowl has one nick that can be felt when running a finger around the rim. It’s so slight that it cannot be seen or imaged, but can be felt.

    Maker and age unknown at this time. Estimated circa 1850 to 1960.

  • ntique Victorian Decor Glass Reverse Torpedo Large CenterpieceVictorian Era Decor Glass Reverse Torpedo Large Centerpiece
    $115.00

    Large Victorian Glass Footed Table Bowl

    Victorian glass centerpiece bowl in the Reverse Torpedo, also called Bulls-Eye and Diamond Point, circa 1891. The pattern was made in an extended table service of many forms but it is a challenging and  scarce pattern to collect. It was produced by Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton (pattern no. 49), early fore bearers of the pressed glass industry in the USA.

    Near the end of the Victorian Era, pressed glass was a partially automated process overcoming the high cost of household glass and making it available to a broader market. Beautiful bowls like this graced many a Victorian home.

    Glass over 70 years old is officially considered antique. Normal antique age is 100 years or older. Glass gets 30 years off because of it’s high rate of breakage. This old beauty is about 120 years old and in very fine condition. There are no chips or cracks, the glass is clean and brilliant with no signs of purpling. The base bears a solid ring of bottom-wear, appropriate for its age and weight.

    Made with thick high clarity glass. The pattern is deep and 3-dimensional. The base and bowl were made separately and applied with molten glass. The ruffle rim was hand-tooled and heat-polished.  Stands 9″ tall with an 11″ x 8″ oval bowl. Weighs just under 4 lbs.

    Iconic Dino Martens Oriente design oval cased art glass bowl in excellent condition.

    According to the book “Venetian Art Glass” by Marino Barovier, the Oriente decor (designed by Dino Martens) was made infamous at the XXVI Biennale di Venezia in 1952 when it received widespread recognition.  At the time, Dino (originally known as Corrado Martens) was free-lancing for Aureliano Toso’s glassworks in Italy. Since then the highly sought after polychrome and aventurine mottled decor was expanded to include many more models. Aureliano’s son, Fratelli Toso carried the line onward.

    Interesting set of Early American pressed glass with a concave circle pattern. It is a ‘Thousand Eye’ type, reflects the circles within the circles. We have not found a positive identification of the pattern.

    The bowl was formed with a four-part mold and is in perfect condition. The jug was blown into a two-part mold with pontil evidence on the base. The jug has a horizontal sharp ringed neck. The rim has sharp vertical ridges and a flat 4-corner spout. There is a tiny imperceptible sliver chip on top-flat surface of the 4-corner rim. Both items were finished with fire-polishing.

    Bowl measures 7″ round and 2″ tall. Cruet sized jug is 5¾” tall. Cork is not original (lol). The jug probably had a matching stopper when produced.

    $110.00

    Hand-made Pulegoso art glass from Mid-20th Century Italy with foamy bubble decor trapped within emerald green and clear glass layers.

    Back in the days of art glass studios, when beautiful objects were produced by masters of the art for everyday use, elaborate decorative bowls like this were made by famous artists and distributed throughout the world. The art glass studio era ended in the 1980’s, but was in full revival until then, making glass objects using methods gleamed from antiquity. This Italian Pulegoso art glass beauty was created sometime between 1920 and 1970.

    According to the Corning Museum of Glass; Pulegoso
    (Italian, from the dialect word pulega, “bubble” Glass containing numerous bubbles of all sizes, produced by adding bicarbonate of soda, gasoline, or other substances to the melt. The bubbles make the glass semi-opaque…. Pulegoso was developed by Napoleone Martinuzzi (1892-1977) on the island of Murano, Italy, in the 1920s.

  • Victorian era glass long stemmed banana boat in excellent condition. A bunch of bananas fit perfectly, but works great with other fruits or food.Victorian era glass with Manganese which glows green under blacklight. Would turn purple if left exposed to ultra-violet light.
    $95.00

    Beautiful late Victorian era glass table centerpiece compote.

    Victorian era glass long stemmed banana boat in excellent condition. A bunch of bananas fit perfectly, but works great with other fruits or food.

    Similiar to Bryce Higbee patterns of the early 1900s. The flower-like sunrays, fans and zippers do not exactly match Higbee’s published patterns, and the glass feels and looks different. I believe it is older, around 1880 EAPG or possibly European.

    The colorless, nearly white, crystal is peppered with hundreds of very tiny bubbles. The glass is heavy with a velvet smooth feel. It glows green under blacklight. Would turn purple if left exposed to ultra-violet light.

    This beauty has been well-preserved with no hints of purple at all. The elaborate Sunray foot shows 4 mold lines. The mold lines on the stem are lost in the zippers. The pressed bowl was stretched and finished by hand with no mold lines visible. Looks like Sandwich type glass. The exterior pattern on the bowl is raised and the interior pattern is smooth with slight indents along the pattern.

    Measures just under 9″ tall, 8.25″ long and 4.75″ wide. Weighs 2 lbs. Solid circle of bottom-wear on the base as expected on antique glass.

  • Set of petite Venini art glass bowls with precision embedded pattern of diamond shaped air bubbles.Beautiful on the vanity as small catch bowls.
    $50.00

    Petite Venini Art Glass Ash Bowls Vintage Italian

    Set of petite Venini art glass bowls with precision embedded pattern of diamond shaped air bubbles. Such perfection in bubble placement and the diamond shape of the bubbles is attributed to Carlo Scarpa of Venini, circa 1940’s. They are not acid-stamped with the Venini mark because the polished flat base is too small. We have seen many larger artworks with precision diamond bubbles with the Venini mark.

    They fit comfortably in palm of hand, measuring 3″ long on three sides. Perfect for that little smoke. Beautiful on the vanity as small catch bowls.

    The colorless glass contains Manganese, a mineral used to replace lead when it was scarce during the World Wars. Manganese causes the colorless glass to glow yellow under black-light. Italian glass artists continued to use Manganese until the end of the 1950’s.

    This beautiful little jewels are in excellent condition with light bottom-wear on the base due to surface contact over the years.
