$200.00Majestic Victorian blown glass vases stand 16.75″ tall.
Offered as a set of two. Victorian blown glass mantel vases, circa 1880’s. Hand blown and hand decorated in a Charleton Rose type decor (very popular in the day).
Both in almost like-new condition. No chips or cracks on the glass. No liquid stains. The enamel is still bright and slightly raised from the surface. There are only a couple, very tiny, almost invisible, enamel misses. The only real wear to these beauties is on the surface of the flat polished beveled rim which had a layer of gold that has nearly worn off.
Hand-blown glass is never identical. These are very close to identical with the only visible difference showing in the bases. One base is thicker than the other. The hand-painted enamel was applied using a stencil as a guide. There are differences in the flowers, because it is hand done, but it is unnoticeable.
The shape was blown and then cut at the rim. A punty mark (where the glass blower held the glass with his tool) is slightly inverted on the base. The bases have a solid band of bottom-wear caused by sitting on a surface for over 100 years, this is expected and not considered damage.
Probably made in Europe. May have been made in America by early Cambridge glass whose designs mirrored those popular in Europe and extensively used the Charleton Rose style decor.

$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.

$25.00Retro Fire King Kitchen Glass Summerfield Vintage Loaf Pan and Sauce Bowls
Fire King kitchen glass from the mid-20th Century was a revolution for homemakers. Bakeware that could be used from the oven to the table to the refrigerator was a concept welcomed by housewives. Fire-King produced many styles and decors to satisfy the demand.
Retro Fire King glass is fun to collect by pattern, and to use. The Summerfield pattern, introduced in the 1973 Fire-King catalog is nick-named ‘Flower Field’ by collectors.
This set includes a loaf pan (part no. W441/185) and two sauce bowls (W434/185) . All are in perfect condition with bright, complete graphics. Sauce bowls measure 3.75” wide and 2” tall. Loaf pan is 11″ long (handle to handle), 5½” wide, 2½” tall.
Vintage Fire King kitchen glass storage and bake ware is better and sturdier (and prettier) than modern, imported Fire King glass in stores today. Back in the day, Fire-King was made in the USA. Today’s Fire-King products are made offshore and the glass recipe is different…ie; synthetic.

$175.00Beautiful large retro vintage glass swag lamp from the 1950’s with airbrushed peach flowers.
This vintage glass swag lamp is large and in perfect condition. The peach flowers were hand-painted in warm browns, oranges and yellows with black and cream stamen. The leaves are in earthy olive greens. The very light tan shading gives depth. The large glass globe is in light cream with a hint of orange. It has the look of antique ‘Peach Blow’ glass with peachy orange enamel flashing on the bottom gradually shading into the light peach color.
The flora and fauna décor is in like-new condition. It is as whole and bright as the day it was made approx. 60 years ago. Works great. Has a handy-dandy new-fangled big round on/off switch module at the end of the chain that can be attached to the wall. The switch module has wear to the plating, but it works.
There is a mark on the glass at the top of the globe near the antiqued gold-tone metal cap. It looks like some very small strips of the décor were removed when somebody removed a sticker. All else is perfect.
Nice and big vintage glass swag lamp. The globe and cap are 16 1/2“ tall with a widest girth of 31”. The wire and chain measure 11 FEET long and there’s an extra 6 feet of unchained wire to run to the wall outlet. An old green UL label is near the plug.
Probably produced by Hazel Atlas Glass in the ‘Gay Fad’ style. Back in the 1950’s ‘gay’ meant happy. Gay Fad items were decorated in florals like we see on this vintage glass swag lamp. Perfect for the sunny kitchen, bedroom or patio room. It’s a beautiful unique lamp.

$55.00Diamond Block Covered Butter Dish – Antique Flint Glass
Antique flint glass covered dish made during the Early American pressed glass period (EAPG 1825 – 1910). Homemakers, servants and/or slaves made their own butter from milk. It was a time consuming process and butter was considered a luxury food. Beautiful dishes were made to present the butter at the dining table. This rare table service butter dish is an excellent example.
Probably made by George Duncan & Sons / U.S. Glass circa 1880, pattern called Diamond Block, also known as Diamond Waffle, also known as Patricia. Other possible makers are Westmoreland Glass, pattern Gillinder, circa 1889; and Heisey made a limited pattern like this called ‘mitered diamond’. The shape of the knob points directly to Duncan and we are 90% sure it is by Duncan.
Made of ‘White Glass’, a term used to describe antique flint glass. Flint glass is a very hard glass, and reflects a white sparkle. If broken, it separates into chunks. Usually made with quartz in the recipe.
Table service butter dishes are sized-down to accommodate about 1/4 lb. Doubles as a cheese, cavair, etc. server. This scarce beauty measures 5″ round and 3″ tall, weighs 1 lb. It is in near perfect condition. Amazing. The only sign of age is the thick, complete band of bottom-wear (from surface contact) on the seat ring and a small thin sliver off the inner bowl ring which holds the dome in place. Nearly invisible but can be felt. Dome was made with a 4-part mold, base was pressed.

$50.00Cambridge Portia Five Part Elegant Depression Glass Server
Colorless etched elegant Depression glass made by Cambridge Glass, USA, circa 1932-1953. High quality heat finished table glass.
Manganese was used in place of lead (scarce during Depression years) to add strength to the glass. If clear glass glows yellow under black light, it probably dates from the early 20th century to the 1950’s. Glass with manganese will turn light purple if over-exposed to bright light for a long period of time. Cambridge used manganese until the 1950’s. They were one of the last glass makers to use it.
Cambridge made the beautiful Portia etched line from 1932 to 1953. Big, fancy 5-part round celery / relish dish. Cambridge part no 394. Measures 10.5″ wide. Substantial glass weighs 2.5 lbs. In Excellent condition with some bottom-wear. Glass is colorless, no hint of purple.

$35.00Dual size retro candle holder by L.E. Smith circa 1950’s to to 1970’s.
We’ve seen this form attributed to Scandinavian glass or Blenko (American) because of the organic decor and style, but it was made by L.E. Smith, a long-lived American glass house that competed for the glass decor market during the mid-20th century.
We know it is by L.E. Smith because one was found with the maker’s label still attached (image 4 shows the original label). The candle holder offered here does not have its original label.
It is in excellent condition. Made with a 2-part upper and lower mold. Measures 3″ tall, 4.5″ wide. Weighs 1.25 lbs.
This handy authentic retro candle holder is reversible. You can use a large votive candle, or turn it over to accommodate 3 tapers candles.

$35.00Drink while you dance with retro Disco NeckGlass from the 1970’s.
Back in the retro disco era of the 1970’s, the ‘Neckglass’ was invented to help the merry party-goers keep their cocktails close. You can dance while wearing one of these. And the best way to keep track of your drink is to wear it.
This rare retro disco Neckglass features a leather strap, adorned with the Fleur de lis. It snaps open to remove.

Elegant pink Depression glass probably made by Jeannette Glass Circa 1930’s to 1950’s. Other major Elegant Depression Glass makers of the era like Fostoria, Imperial or US had very similar patterns with octagon shapes.
