Retro decanter stopper teardrop in green glass with internal bubble.
Hand-blown retro decanter stopper in green glass measures 10″ long. Solid glass. Made in the U.S.A. during the Mid-Century Modern decor period (1940’s to 1970’s).
It is in perfect condition. Please see the image provided of this green teardrop retro decanter stopper for exact measurements.
These big stoppers were made for the fabulously large decanters so popular back in the day they were produced, and still so very popular today but hard to find. Often we find the big decanter bottles without the stoppers because the stoppers are prone to break.
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 large 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.

$75.00Early American style Jamestown Glass handled jug in bubbly glass with applied seal.
This old Jamestown Glass jug is a vintage reproduction of antique Early American glass made during the medieval revival of the 1960’s.

The jug is full-size, just like you’d see on the American settlers tables or bars. Label still attached, reads – Hand Blown at Jamestown, VA. – The specialty ‘Jamestown’ line has been associated with Blenko Art Glass. Blenko created the line with inspiration provided by the early American Jamestown Glasshouse.
Loaded with bubbles, from extra tiny to long and stretched, as glass from early wood-burning furnaces have. Inverted soft pontil mark. Applied handle, lip and seal. The round disc on the front is a seal. Seals were often applied on glass made in America’s very early years.
Big jug is in excellent condition. Perfect for serving your home-made Sangria, etc. Beautiful sitting in a large window sill. Makes a great vase too. Measures 8.25″ tall and 5.5″ at widest. Weighs 2.5 lbs.

Tall Retro Modern Decor Candle Vase Vintage Hand-Made in Amethyst Glass
Graceful and tall retro modern decor hand-stretched candle vase by Viking Art Glass or New Martinsville. New Martinsville Glass was the original company later known as Viking Art Glass.
We believe this candle vase was probably made by New Martinsville because of the ground and polished base ring and pontil scar. Viking didn’t pay as much attention to detail as did its predecessor. Dates to the early 1950’s. This form was continued by the company until the early 1970’s.
It’s big and beautiful. Measures 17″ tall. Inside the bowl at the base is a ¾” wide taper candle receiver. Surrounding the receiver is an large enough area to insert flowers, foliage, etc.
In perfect condition. Made by hand, blown into mold, stretched by hand. Lovely dark amethyst color in thick-walled glass.

$65.00Vintage Amethyst Glass Decanter and Stemware Set Hand Blown
Retro modern amethyst glass decanter with two color matching tall wine glasses. All were blown by hand, estimated circa mid-1960’s.
The bottle may have been made by Pilgrim Art Glass. Unsure of maker at this time. The pontil mark on the inverted base has been polished. Rim is polished. The stemware bowl was blown, then applied to a drawn stem, which is applied to a hand-tooled foot.
The stopper is ‘married’ (not original to bottle). It fits well and looks good. Originally a tear drop stopper was made for this decanter. Finding a stopper that fits the neck of vintage bottles is a hard job. Most makers ‘ground to fit’ the stopper end and bottle neck for a secure fit. This flat, colorless stopper looks great and will keep it covered.
The decanter measures 12″ tall and the wine glasses measure 8.5″ tall.
All in excellent condition. Sparkling clean inside and out. Great set for the romantic evening…

$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.

$65.00Rare unused retro modern 1960’s – 1970’s relic with original labels.
This special retro modern domed server was handmade in Italy by Colony and distributed in the US by PD Imports (sometimes called PeeDee).
The retro modern domed server has two labels; 1 on the glass and 1 on the wood base. This beauty was found nearly covered in paint (on the exterior). When the paint was removed, so was the writing on the label still stuck to the glass. But the label on the inside wood is whole and reads “Handmade, Colony, Italy, PD imports”. Pee Dee is known for importing Italian glass to the U.S. for everyday use from famous designers.
Shows no signs of use. In perfect condition. It’s a big dome, large enough for a tall wedge of cheese, fruit and crackers. The very pleasing dark chestnut amber glass fits well with most decors.
Hand blown glass with applied handmade knob. The base is made of a very heavy, dense wood, looks like oak. Measures 8.5″ tall, 9″ at widest with an all-around girth of 27″. Weighs 3.5 lbs.

$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.
