$95.00Rowland Ward Game Bird Song Bird Cut and Acid Etched Crystal Brandy Snifters
Set Of 4 Rowland Ward Game Bird brandy Glasses. Beautifully cut, then acid etched to achieve 3 dimensional detail. Very well made. Superb quality crystal.
Over-sized at 6″ tall. Perfect for your fine brandy, cognac or even whiskey. Hand-Blown.
Two of the four snifters retain the original label, all wording is faded out. We believe these were made by Moser in the name of Rowland Ward who was a big game enthusiast, taxidermist and naturalist in England.
The unreadable sticker on the upper foot leaves us puzzled. We haven’t seen a Moser sticker that looks like this. Date of make is unknown, estimated mid-20th Century. Perhaps it is a distributor’s sticker.
Superb quality. They ring like long, lingering bells. Very fine blown crystal. Detailed bird carvings, each different. In like-new condition.

$160.00Victorian glass decanter in emerald green with hand-applied enamel decor. Large Handled jug with original stopper.
Antique decanter with enamel decor, probably of Bohemian (French or Czech) or could be English origin. It is hand-signed in gold on the base with a notched cursive L followed by a floating dot. Victorian Era or older.
To this date, we have not identified the “L” signature and we find that very odd! Perhaps it is not an “L”? We have another very old decanter and goblet signed the same, click here to view. If anyone can help with the ID, please email retroartglass@retroartglass.com .
The stopper is hand-formed and hollow with two intentional teardrop bubbles. The pontil scar is rough ground and inverted. The vessel was hand-blown from optic mold. The base of the decanter has optic panels. The handle was drawn by hand, crimped by tool and applied to the vessel. Stopper insert and neck are ground to fit. Original stopper.
The decanter base does not have calcium deposit damage. In image 7 (showing the rough pontil), notice the interior looks dirty. This is due to the reflections of the air bubbles trapped within the glass, the enamel decor showing through, and the remnants of a base protector. A fine layer of dust inside the vessel base can be seen. This dust, and the remnants of the base protector will be removed. No chips, no cracks. The hand-applied floral decor shows wear with about 90% of the enamel still present.
Large antique emerald green decanter measures 13″ tall with stopper.

$45.00Pair of Bimini Glass style dancing figures stemmed glass goblets. Vintage handmade lamp-worked glass.
Set of curious figural stem glass goblets with tulip type vessels. Made in the style of Bimini, a famous Austrian producer of lamp-work art glass in the 1920’s-1930’s.
Extremely popular at the time, the famous fragile works introduced by Fritz Lampl and Joseph Berger was imitated by many other great glass makers of the past and present. Bimini is hard to identify as it is often unmarked. The infamous Venini (Italy) produced Bimini type forms during the same period. We do not know who made these interesting vessels or the age. Estimated circa 1920 – 1970.
Very unusual stemware. Perhaps they were not designed as drinking vessels because the ruffles allow spilling if your lips are not placed correctly. They make beautiful posy vases or candle holders. With candles burning inside the vessels, it looks as if the figures are carrying a huge torch.
Hand-made from thin torch worked glass. The foot is folded up on the rims and applied to the 6-part human figurine, which is applied to the thin blown bowl. The bowl decor is frosted white and stained red on the ruffle.
As with most vintage frosted and/or stained items, the vessels have a few areas of wear. The wear is hard to detect unless looking very closely. All else is in fine condition. Very light and delicate. Each stand approx. 7″ tall. One is slightly taller than the other due to the hand-made process.

$425.00Antique enameled glass decanter and Goblet Signed L.
Well-preserved antique Bohemian glass hand-blown decanter and goblet with enamel decor . Very rare. Very old.
This antique decanter set is probably of Bohemian origin, possibly Joseph Lobmeyr or his son Ludwig (Vienna, Austria) . It is signed in gold with a notched cursive L preceded by a floating dot and followed by a period on the base of the decanter. May be of English origin, as the exact style of palm fan decor on these items match that used by Thomas Webb in the 1870’s. Victorian Era or older…has a Renaissance look to it.
To this date, we have not identified the “L” signature and we find that very odd! Perhaps it is not an “L”? If anyone can help with the ID, please email retroartglass@retroartglass.com. We have another antique decanter in emerald green with the “L”? makers mark, click here to view.
Heavy hand-painted enamel decor of drapes, dots and fans/palms of Islamic inspiration. The thick, bright orange, yellow and white enamel decor is absolutely perfect, 100%, no damage, no wear.
The translucent glass is light amethyst. The very faint purple tint to the glass may be the intention of the artist, but most likely due to a “sun purple” effect which would develop naturally over the decades. The glass glows light neon green under black light.
The hollow stopper (original to bottle), neck, hollow base and goblet stem are in gold luster. The luster shows some wear, some pinholes, some areas of lightening, but is 95% present. Great condition for its age. The small wine glass did not receive it’s final grinding on the outer foot edge, making the rim around the foot rough, not chipped. Fired polished rims are slightly uneven, expected from old hand-blown glass. The pontil scar is rough ground.
The decanter’s inner hollow base has some residue that will come out with further detailing. The glass has NO hazing or calcium deposits. No chips, no cracks.
Large decanter measures 11.5″ tall with stopper. Stemmed goblet is 4″ tall. Stopper and decanter neck are ground to fit. Stopper is hollow. Exceptional.
Victorian Glass Decanter Large with Handle, Stopper, Enamel Decor, Signed L.

Postwar German modernist style glass serving dishes.
Unionglas(s) was a glass-works located in Bavaria in the early 1950’s. The company hails from 1882 when it was known as Kupfer & Glaser. In 1939 (WWII) they renamed the factory to ‘Spiegel Glass Union’. In 1952 the glassworks changed its name again to Unionglass. In 1953 Unionglass closed down production.
This set was made during the two years the company was called Unionglas. Each are trimmed with gold and white decor, except the Unionglass marked tray which is trimmed in gold only. It is rare to find these slumped plate glass dishes in good condition, and with identification.
The company marked tray is in nearly new condition, as is the round tray with white dots. The largest rectangle tray has a diamond mesh white decor and is in good condition with 10% gold wear on the rims. The two small nut/mint dishes are in fair condition with 20 to 30% of the gold worn off. No chips or cracks on any.
The largest tray (image 3) with the diamond mesh decor measures 12″ x 8″, 1″ deep. The Unionglas Logo tray measures 12½” x 5½”, 1″ deep. The round tray measures 9″ wide, 1″ deep. The nut dishes measure 4½” square, ½” deep.
The company plate should remain unused and preserved. The others are perfect for use at dinner or cocktail parties. Hand wash only.
