$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.

Incredible find, such a beautiful nearly untouched set. The amber color of the glass is unusual as the Rambler Rose gold encrusted decor is usually found on clear glass. The amber color multiplies the elegance of this set. In excellent condition – the gold is thick and 98% present.

$400.00Antique Venetian hand blown glass pitcher jug and four flute goblets.
Exquisite antique Venetian mouth blown glass by a master of the craft. Estimated circa; early 1900’s. We have not identified it yet, but have many clues. We are certain this set is not of modern make. The shape and decor have a story to tell.
The set of four goblets and pitcher and appears to be from the late 19th to early 20th century Italy. The style and form were revived from ancient glass examples excavated during the Renaissance by great maestros of glass in the 1700 and 1800’s whose names and achievements still live on today.
The large antique Venetian pitcher and goblets were mouth blown in a slightly iridescent, very light airy green. The light green glass lights up neon green under black-light, indicating the presence of Manganese or Uranium.
The pitcher leans forward, as in ancient days. This feature assisted the hostess or servants while tipping the large pitcher for service. This pitcher should always be lifted in this manner to avoid damage to the handle.
The mottled plum base and stretch satin handle are hand-formed, each with a different decor style, and applied to the pitcher’s body. The inverted dome feet/bases are mottled clear and plum glass with folded up rims. Pontil scars located on inner domed feet are slightly rough. The goblet rims are folded up. The hand drawn and stretched handle is in mottled plum and clear glass with added decor of fumed iridescence. It’s as soft as velvet and shimmers and shines.
A tiny chunk of coal from the glass furnace is trapped within this vessel’s handle (see image). Coal from an old fashioned furnace trapped within the glass is a sure sign of age.
A double wafer knop is applied to base and vessel, joining the two. The large handle is applied. It hoops well above the body. This large jug is meant to be held with two hands. One hand on the handle, the other flat out on the opposite side on the body.
It is in wonderful shape with no cracks or chips or liquid damage. The pitcher is perfect. The goblets have very slight minimal scratching on the interior probably due to stir sticks.
Pitcher is 10″ tall, 6.5″ at widest with a widest girth of 19″. Pitcher’s foot is 5.25″ wide. The four flute goblets measure 6″ tall, mouth opening width of 3.75″ and foot width of 3.25″. Large tumblers – full-sized. Set includes one large pitcher and FOUR large fluted goblets. Sparkling clean.
The form, style and decor of this antique Venetian beverage set lead us to the path of Compagnia di Venezia e Murano and down the path to Pauly & C. You can read more via the links below.
According to Wikipedia:
Pitcher made by Vittorio Zecchin with fumed handle, domed and folded foot, leaning slightly forward. Compagnia di Venezia e Murano began as Salviati &C. in London in 1866 under the direction of Vicenza attorney Antonio Salviati and with the backing of two British men: archaeologist Austen Henry Layard and antiquarian Sir William Drake. The company was dedicated to using ancient techniques and utilized master glassblowers in its efforts to do so. Read More…

$130.00Hobbs Brockunier Frances Ware Antique Syrup Pitcher
Antique syrup pitcher from the Frances Ware line by Hobbs Brockunier. Turn of the century American art glass, circa late 1800’s. ‘Francis Ware’ was named after Grover Cleveland’s (USA President) wife Frances Folsom.
Beautiful Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) hobnail pattern with a satin frost acid treatment on the lower half and a bright glowing amber on the upper portion. Hobbs Brockunier made quite a few table items in this pattern. Hard to find, but a real pleasure to collect.
Many Frances Ware items found today have chipped hobnails from bumping into other table items over the last 100+ years. This old stunner has only 1 small chigger on one hobnail on the body of the pitcher. On the base, the seat of the pitcher, there are approximately 8 chiggers off the last two rings of hobnails. These chiggers are invisible unless the pitcher is turned upside-down. They were caused by surface wear. See image 4.
The antique syrup pitcher has a pewter lid with 2 visible dents on the finial. The lid is intact and secure. Thumb tab flips up the lid to reveal a pouring spout. The lid seems to have a spring type control that provides tension while opening and it insures the lid shuts when the thumb pressure is removed. Whatever hardware used for this upgrade function is hidden within the thick walls of the cap.
The glass is sparkling clean with no residue stains. The solid glass handle was applied to the body. Made by hand over 100 years ago. Measures 7″ tall, 4½” at widest.
Shown in The Collector’s Encyclopedia of American Art Glass on page 74.

Beautiful set of Art Deco glass decanter cocktail hour accessories. Full size blown glass decanter with a stopper that serves as a shot glass. Included are five standard shot glasses in the same pattern from the same maker.

The decanter measures 9½” tall. The set is in very good condition considering its age and flashed color. There is slight flashing wear on the tips of the rims on the shot glasses. There are no chips or scratches.

$210.00Big Blenko Art Glass Decanter Charcoal Crackle
This Blenko Art Glass decanter bottle was made in the rare Charcoal color. Item’s in Blenko’s Charcoal color are relatively hard to find. The color was produced only a few years; 1954 to 1958, 1961 to 1962, and 1971.
The giant form was designed by Winslow Anderson, an infamous mid-century glass artist who worked with Blenko from 1947 to 1953. It is a 920L decanter and originally came with a tall teardrop stopper in matching color. This decanter has lost its original stopper. The stoppers are very easy to break and usually don’t survive the years.
The bottle is shown with a ‘married’ ruby glass hand-blown stopper from the same era. The stopper fits well, in itself is hard to find, and looks awesome until a matching charcoal flame stopper is found.
The bottle was mouth-blown, hand-formed, then sheared at the neck opening. It was dipped in ice water while still hot to create the crackle effect. The neck opening rim was fire-polished smooth.
The base still retains Blenko’s inventory label. It reads: “Blenko, Milton W.VA 0920L”. The bottle stands a whopping 16.5″ tall and weighs 3.6 lbs. The neck opening is 1 1/8″ wide (measured from inner wall). In perfect condition. Glass is clean and brilliant.

$110.00Hand-made Pulegoso art glass from Mid-20th Century Italy with foamy bubble decor trapped within emerald green and clear glass layers.
Back in the days of art glass studios, when beautiful objects were produced by masters of the art for everyday use, elaborate decorative bowls like this were made by famous artists and distributed throughout the world. The art glass studio era ended in the 1980’s, but was in full revival until then, making glass objects using methods gleamed from antiquity. This Italian Pulegoso art glass beauty was created sometime between 1920 and 1970.
According to the Corning Museum of Glass; Pulegoso
(Italian, from the dialect word pulega, “bubble” Glass containing numerous bubbles of all sizes, produced by adding bicarbonate of soda, gasoline, or other substances to the melt. The bubbles make the glass semi-opaque…. Pulegoso was developed by Napoleone Martinuzzi (1892-1977) on the island of Murano, Italy, in the 1920s.It’s big and very useful. It was designed to double as a catch-all, flower bowl, candle holder, snack bowl, and even as an ashtray. Measures 6″ wide, 7″ long, 3.5″ tall and weighs 2.8 lbs.
There are no chips or cracks. There is some light use marks in the center of the bowl caused by over 50 years of use. But the glass is still brilliant and whole and the use marks are hard to see. We are offering this rare item at a discounted price due to the use wear.

$220.00Antique Emerald Decanter and Goblets Engraved and Gold Filled
Fascinating antique emerald decanter with 5 liqueur goblets. Hand-blown, hand-cut and hand-decorated with thick gold fill. The floral decor was cut into the glass by hand and then filled with gold impasto (made with real gold). It is stunningly beautiful in style and craftmanship.
Maker is unknown, but suspected to be a French Saint Louis Cristallerie early 1900s liqueur set. The decor was first cut into the glass, then inlaid with gold to the surface (the gold is not raised from the surface) which is a Saint Louis Cristallerie known decor method. It’s a reverse impasto. The Art Nouveau styling is unmistakable. Cut oval ring on the base of the foot, filled with gold, is another feature found on very old Saint Louis glass. Actual maker is unknown, unable to verify at this time.
St Louis glass used paper labels to identify their glass prior to 1925 when they began permanent marking with an acid etch. This set has no labels or markings. You can read more about Saint Louis Cristallerie at Wikipedia. The Widipedia article is in German, so you’ll have to use the translator to read it. See this Saint Louis Cristallerie set at LR Antiques. Notice the decor closeups.
The emerald glass is in perfect sparkling condition. There are no chips. The gold fill ranges from 50 to 100%. See closeup images and captions. The gold fill in the circle of engraved ovals on the base of the foot has mostly worn, but two have much remaining. The rim gold is in worn to very good condition. The entire set was hand-blown, hand-decorated and hand-finished.
The decanter was blown, engraved and filled with gold. The decanter base was made separately and applied to the vessel. The stopper is hand-formed, with a bubble inside, hand-cut and inlaid with gold. The goblet vessels were blown and applied to drawn stem and foot, carved and gold inlaid. Only five goblets have survived of what was once a set of 6.
Stunningly beautiful, historic set. A masterpiece by an early European maker for sure. Decanter is 9.5″ tall, goblets are 4.5″ tall

$115.00This fabulous and rare crystal beer mug is hand-etched, signed and numbered ‘Strombergshyttan, A. Stromberg, Lord Queensberry, 452/1973’. It also has the original label attached to the glass. It was made in 1973, limited edition of 3500. Unused in original box.
Strombergshyttan, a member of the ‘Kingdom of Crystal‘, was founded in 1876, Sweden as Lindfors glassworks. Edward Stromberg, the former head of Orrefors, took over in 1933. Asta Stromberg made this mug in 1973. She was married to Eric Stromberg, son of Edward, who died in 1960. She continued the family business until a major fire wiped out the factory finances and the company was sold to Orrefors.
Very difficult to image the color of the glass. The crystal beer mug has a bluish silver hue, a specialty color of the factory, see image 3 for best color example. Hand blown with applied handle. The impressionist face is engraved and deep acid-etched with textures. Pontil mark is a polished concave circle. Big mug weighs 2 lbs and measures just under 6″ tall. Box has foam fitted padding on both sides to cradle the mug while stored.
The mug is in excellent condition. The box is in worn stored condition. Read the pamphlet that comes with it in image 5. The Marquis of Queensberry was involved with the mug decor, perhaps the designer of the face.

$110.00Tall Diamond Quilted Glass Vase with Alabaster Foot
Elegant, eye-catching diamond quilted glass vase with applied two-part alabaster glass foot. Vase measures 11″ tall. Big, beautiful vase can hold a large bunch of flowers.
Made by blowing two layers of glass into a diamond pattern mold. The creamy white glass (called alabaster) used on the stem and foot was hand-made in two parts and applied to the vase. The inner layer is a very dark salmon color. The 4″ wide vase opening was ruffled with blow-torch and hand tool.
Probably created in Italy for export to the U.S., but it could be early 20th Century American made. The diamond quilted cut velvet decor was popular in the Victorian era. The decor style regained popularity in the 1940’s to 1950’s.
The applied two part stem and foot point to a quality maker. Victorian era glass often sported this style of foot. During the Mid-20th Century, major Italian glass houses exported vases like this to decor distributors in the U.S. Estimated circa: 1920 to 1960.
This vase is in excellent condition.

The holder is 3.5″ tall with a 3.5″ base. Its turned up base was meant to be an ashtray, but don’t use it as one. The decor is delicate and will not hold up to grinding hot ashes into it. It could be used as a matchstick or other paraphernalia holder. The liquor glass stem is 4.25″ tall.
Both items are hand-blown with pontil marks. The bases are applied to the vessels.
