$115.00Large 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.

$15.00It is important the measurement of the flower frog match your intended use. This antique glass flower frog is rimmed so it can sit upon the rim of your flower bowl or vase, allowing the flower stems to be inserted through the open holes reaching down into the water. It can be placed in the base of a large bowl if you like. It was designed to float above the base of the vessel or sit inside a vessel. Has three little feet on the base to raise above surface when placed inside a flower vase or bowl.
Most agree these helpful flower arranging tools were called ‘flower frogs’ because they sit in water, like a frog. Flower frogs became widely popular in the US during the early 1900’s for use in flower arranging. The form and function was replaced In the mid 1950’s by a water-absorbent foam, stopping the development of glass flower frogs.
Glass flower frogs of yesteryear are a better choice than modern foam as they are re-usable, sturdy, collectible and beautiful in their own way. Click here to learn how to use flower frogs.
Retro Art Glass has a wide variety of flower frogs available, including more made with Uranium, click here to view the selection.

$45.00Beautiful intricate paperweight with ruby jewels nestled in a pink cloud surrounded by floating bubbles.
A worn “Crystal Art Glass Cambridge O.” paper label on the bottom has been protected and secured by tape.
According to the expert at Allan’s Paperweights:
“John Degenhart was born in Wheeling, West Virginia in 1884. He started working in glass at the Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton Company factory in Findlay, Ohio at the age of ten. John’s brother Charles, also worked at Dalzell. In 1901, both joined Cambridge Glass in Cambridge, Ohio.
The original paperweight production was the work of Charles and his two sons. John also produced paperweights to help meet the demand. This started as an after hours activity in the 1920s while the men worked at Cambridge Glass (with the approval of the company). John retired from Cambridge Glass in 1946 and opened the Crystal Art Glass Company shortly after that. Most of the early production was devoted to paperweights.”
Condition is perfect. The paperweight is 3-1/16″ in diameter and 2-5/8″ high. Weighs 1¼ lbs. Circa approx. 1947.

$65.00Interesting 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.
Circa estimated to the EAPG era, 1850 to 1910. Probably American made, but could be Irish.

$130.00Hobbs Brockunier Frances Ware Antique Syrup Pitcher
Antique syrup pitcher from the Frances Ware line by Hobbs Brockunier. Turn of the century American art glass, circa late 1800’s. ‘Francis Ware’ was named after Grover Cleveland’s (USA President) wife Frances Folsom.
Beautiful Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) hobnail pattern with a satin frost acid treatment on the lower half and a bright glowing amber on the upper portion. Hobbs Brockunier made quite a few table items in this pattern. Hard to find, but a real pleasure to collect.
Many Frances Ware items found today have chipped hobnails from bumping into other table items over the last 100+ years. This old stunner has only 1 small chigger on one hobnail on the body of the pitcher. On the base, the seat of the pitcher, there are approximately 8 chiggers off the last two rings of hobnails. These chiggers are invisible unless the pitcher is turned upside-down. They were caused by surface wear. See image 4.
The antique syrup pitcher has a pewter lid with 2 visible dents on the finial. The lid is intact and secure. Thumb tab flips up the lid to reveal a pouring spout. The lid seems to have a spring type control that provides tension while opening and it insures the lid shuts when the thumb pressure is removed. Whatever hardware used for this upgrade function is hidden within the thick walls of the cap.
The glass is sparkling clean with no residue stains. The solid glass handle was applied to the body. Made by hand over 100 years ago. Measures 7″ tall, 4½” at widest.

$140.00Art Deco glass decanter with jigger stopper and 5 shots made in the 1920’s to 1930’s. Flashed in luminous cranberry and etched in Cornflower.
Beautiful set of Art Deco glass decanter cocktail hour accessories. Full size blown glass decanter with a stopper that serves as a shot glass. Included are five standard shot glasses in the same pattern from the same maker.
The glass was hand-formed, then flashed with a deep cranberry, almost ruby, luminous color. The Cornflower decor was wheel cut through the colored flashing revealing the colorless glass beneath.
Cornflower decor was offered by many glass-makers, but the design varied. Cambridge and Fostoria glass are well known for their Cornflower etchings, but the decor here does not match their styles. The key is the two leaves protruding from the top of the Cornflowers.
The decanter measures 9½” tall. The set is in very good condition considering its age and flashed color. There is slight flashing wear on the tips of the rims on the shot glasses. There are no chips or scratches.

Items in the Retro Art Glass Museum are not for sale. Read more about this item below. To view Retro Art Glass items for sale click here…Beautiful air twist stopper in fine crystal. Steuben is famous for their air-twist crystal glassware. Not sure if this is Steuben as it has a slightly pointed head and the Steuben air twists for their large decanters have a flat head. Its superior crystal quality and precise air twist point to a very fine maker.
Click here to read more about Steuben Glass Works.
Measures 5″ long. See image for additional measurements for determining if this air twist stopper will fit your decanter, bottle or jug.
In excellent condition. Outstanding clarity. The streaks in the images are reflections from the lighting mingling with the air twist.
To determine if your stopper will fit your bottle:
Replacing missing stoppers is tricky. A good fit is essential. The measurements must match perfectly to the bottle neck opening in order to seal the air out and sit upright (without wiggling). Replaced stoppers are referred to as “married”, meaning the stopper is not original to the bottle.
- Measure the inner diameter of bottle neck opening. Use a soft tape measure to determine the width of the top opening. Measure the open space only, between the bottle neck opening. Do not include the glass rim of the bottle neck.
- The stopper’s ‘insert top’ (see image with measurements) should match the inner diameter (width) of the bottle neck opening exactly or just very slightly smaller. You can use your soft measuring tape to encircle the inner top opening to obtain the circumference.
- Most decanter bottle necks taper slightly down toward the vessel, resulting in a smaller neck measurement than the bottle neck opening. You should know the length of the insert. The insert is the portion of the stopper that enters the bottle neck opening.
- Take the measurement of the stopper’s insert length, from base to top of insert, and use your soft tape measure to determine where the stopper base will rest in your bottle neck. The stopper’s ‘insert base’ should measure exactly or just very slightly smaller than the measurement of the area of the bottle neck where it will rest when inserted.
Most stoppers made for the decanters from the past have a ground area encircling the stopper base. These stoppers have been ‘ground to fit’ by the maker for the exact bottle they were made for. If you know how to grind glass, or know someone who does, you can have your stopper altered to fit your bottle. This can be done only with stopper inserts that are slightly larger than the bottle neck.
Trying to get a perfect ‘marriage’ between a vintage glass decanter and replacement stopper is not easy. Often, even when the measurements match up, the stopper will tend to lean or wiggle. If your decanter is for decor purposes only, and you do not plan on using it as a decanter, you can put a small blob of putty or wax on the inner neck of the bottle to stabilize the stopper.

$160.00Bryce Aquarius Cut Crystal Stemware Set of 10
Vintage cut crystal stemware set with cut rohmbus shaped stems. The 4-sided stem is solid crystal with sharp edges. The uneven square causes a prism effect. Beautiful quality crystal stemware from the Atomic 1950’s.
Made by Bryce Brothers (1841-1965), pattern number 961, called Aquarius. The Aquarius pattern was patented in 1950 and was still active in 1966 when Bryce merged with Lenox. It is no longer active, date of retirement unknown. Catalog advertisement in image 5 was published in the 1950s. It is interesting that the advertisement brags the pattern will be available ‘forever’. It hasn’t been available for over 45 years.
The Bryce glass factory was located in Mt. Pleasant, PA on the property of the Bryce mansion which burned to the ground in 1998. Since 1841 the company experienced mergers, closures and name changes resulting from outside influences such as prohibition and world wars. Through the years they were known as Bryce, McKee & Co. Bryce, Richards & Co., Bryce, Walker & Co., Bryce Brothers, and Bryce Higbee & Co. All are collectible names in glass today. In addition, Bryce was a member of the US Glass coalition, a consortium of factories which banded together to survive hard economic times during the Great Depression.
Set of 10 (image show only 8) includes (5) champagne/sherbert 4″ tall with a 3.75″ wide mouth; all in perfect condition, and (5) tulip wine glasses, 4½” tall with a 3.25″ wide mouth – 1 with a tiny smooth inner rim flake barely detectable, and one with a small rough outer rim chip that is visible. The uneven cubed stems with the sharp edges are all in perfect condition which is unusual. The crystal is nice quality with a lingering tone. All are perfect for cocktails of any kind, great for cocktail parties.

$30.00Pairpoint Glass Company Fat White Pig Table Charm with Maker’s Label
Cute Pairpoint Glass Company pig with original Pairpoint sticker still attached. Stylish little figurines like this were used back in the day to decorate and perk table conversation at the dining table. Also called “Whimseys”.
Pairpoint Glass is a very, very old U.S. elegant glass maker associated with Mount Washington Glass and the New England Glass Company. Through the years the company was sold a few times and miraculously is still in business today in Massachusetts.
We believe this little piggy was reproduced from a turn of the 20th Century iconic Pairpoint Pig designed by Jarvis himself. Made sometime between 1950 and 1970.
Measures 3″ long, 2½” wide and 2½” tall. Weighs 12 ounces. Made by hand with tool pinched ears, feet and nose. Tightly curled piggy tail was made separately and applied. In excellent condition.

$90.00Large hand-blown vintage glass cruet in canary yellow and blue.
Hand-blown vintage glass table cruet by Tiffin Art Glass or Steuben Glass, both U.S. companies. Tiffin is no longer in business (see more info link below). Steuben, established in 1906, continues to provide quality colorless glass to this day, although I suspect it is produced offshore.
This beautiful oversize cruet was made in the 1930’s to 1940’s. Both Tiffin and Steuben offered the blue and yellow (also called Topaz) color combination during this time period.
Suspect it is by Steuben. Research uncovered the pinched rounded square vessel as Steuben, but the stopper was in canary with applied blue decor that’s used with Steuben’s Venetian line. The stopper on this bottle is in topaz only with an interior bubble. Although Tiffin made many tableware forms in canary and blue, we did not find a Tiffin form that matched this.
The stopper is original and fits perfect. The pontil scar was polished to half moon. For large thumbprint dents accomplishe dby hand tool. Hand-blown vintage glass with applied handle.
Larger than a standard cruet, measuring 8″ tall with a 3.5″ squarish base. No damage, no water staining. Light bottom wear on the seat from over 80 years of surface contact. Perfect for table or bar.

Stands 4.5″ tall and 7.5″ wide. Beautiful elegant pink Depression glass vase with original flower frog to hold your stems.

$30.00Root Beer zipper vase by Tiara Glass
Tiara Glass was a distributor of American made glassware until it closed in 1998. A vase exactly like this was discovered with the Tiara label. This vase does not have the original label.

$50.00Large Vintage Glass Pitcher by Bryce in the El Rancho Pattern
Hand-formed vintage glass pitcher in smoke green with ice lip by Bryce, USA. This is a large and beautiful beverage pitcher made with quality vintage glass.
In the late 1950’s to early 1960’s, smoked colors were very popular. What is known as Swedish Modern Glass was the rage. The Scandinavian makers introduced fabulous smoked colors, 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 smoked moss color is beautiful. At first it appears to be an off-gray. At closer inspection the dark moss smoke green color is evident. Attractive pattern and color makes this large vintage glass pitcher a stunning vase too.
This large pitcher was hand-blown from mold with hand-tooled spout and applied hand-blown handle. Nice, heavy band of bottom wear matches age. In excellent condition. Measures 9.5″ tall, 7.5″ from spout to handle. Weighs 3 lbs. Big pitcher holds 74 ounces. In excellent condition.
