$50.00Petite 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.

Cambridge Wildflower Stemware Set of 12
Cambridge Wildflower stemware set of 6 wine/water and 6 cocktail/sherbets from the 1940’s.
The Wildflower etch was introduced in the 1937 and was offered on a wide variety of table glass forms. However, the Wildflower etching was not used on stemware until the early 1940’s and it was offered on stem #3121 for only a short time. Read more about Cambridge Wildflower…
The six large goblets measure 8.25″ tall. Cambridge catalogs list this as a water goblet, but it’s fine for a hefty glass of wine. The six smaller cocktail goblets measure 4.75″ tall and can double as dessert bowls.
The Wildflower etched bowls were blown from and 6-panel optic mold. The intricate stem was formed in a mold. The bowl and foot are hand-applied to the stem. Made of top-notch crystal.
One cocktail goblet has a tiny shallow rim chip (reserve for the hostess). The rest are in perfect condition. Beautiful, elegant quality vintage crystal stemware set for your next dinner party!

$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.

Antique Satin Glass Powder Box with Lovebirds
Antique satin glass puff box featuring a pair of lovebirds sitting on a branch. Made in the 1920’s by a company within the U.S. Glass Consortium, perhaps Tiffin Glass. Parrot and Lovebird themes were popular in the Art Deco era.
The glass is in perfect condition, no chips or chiggers. The semi-translucent satin finish is in bright and whole condition. It appears perfect. But, when this box was made approximately 90 years ago, it was hand-painted with gold enamel trim. Although hard to see, traces of the enamel are present beneath the outer rim. The gold has worn off so completely it’s difficult to detect it once was there. Still looks beautiful.
Measures 5″ wide, 3″ tall and weighs just under 1 lb.
