$60.00Set of German Postwar modernist glass serving dishes hand decorated and trimmed in gold
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.

$35.00Dual size retro candle holder by L.E. Smith circa 1950’s to to 1970’s.

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.

$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.
It is in excellent condition. Very few of these have survived the parties of days gone by. This special hippie relic was probably never used. The heavy metal chain is in like-new condition, as is the leather and the glass.
