Mid-century decor styling. Large and funky lead crystal free-form donkey. Shown in Pilgrim Art Glass 1972 catalog, part no. 911. Hand-formed in heavy lead crystal.

The lead ingredient considerably increases the density of the glass – making it heavier – and enhancing it’s power to disperse light, giving PILGRIM LEAD CRYSTAL unrivaled sparkle and brilliancy. Sizes range from 5″ to 7″.

$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 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…

$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.

Flower Frog Vase in Pink Depression Glass.
Pink Depression glass ribbed flower bowl with original crystal frog made by Hocking Glass Co, circa 1935 to 1938. Very hard to find without damage to the fragile rim and with the original flower stem frog.
The Old Colony pattern is popular among collectors and the illusive forms are in high demand. The lacy loop decor has a tendency to crack. This lovely flower bowl has no cracks. It is slightly imperfect due to a very light calcium ring left by water in the interior of the vessel. Overall great condition.
Stands 4.5″ tall and 7.5″ wide. Beautiful elegant pink Depression glass vase with original flower frog to hold your stems.

$200.00Majestic Victorian blown glass vases stand 16.75″ tall.
Offered as a set of two. Victorian blown glass mantel vases, circa 1880’s. Hand blown and hand decorated in a Charleton Rose type decor (very popular in the day).
Both in almost like-new condition. No chips or cracks on the glass. No liquid stains. The enamel is still bright and slightly raised from the surface. There are only a couple, very tiny, almost invisible, enamel misses. The only real wear to these beauties is on the surface of the flat polished beveled rim which had a layer of gold that has nearly worn off.
Hand-blown glass is never identical. These are very close to identical with the only visible difference showing in the bases. One base is thicker than the other. The hand-painted enamel was applied using a stencil as a guide. There are differences in the flowers, because it is hand done, but it is unnoticeable.
The shape was blown and then cut at the rim. A punty mark (where the glass blower held the glass with his tool) is slightly inverted on the base. The bases have a solid band of bottom-wear caused by sitting on a surface for over 100 years, this is expected and not considered damage.
Probably made in Europe. May have been made in America by early Cambridge glass whose designs mirrored those popular in Europe and extensively used the Charleton Rose style decor.

Hand-formed vintage glass pitcher in smoke green with ice lip by Bryce, USA. This is a large and beautiful beverage pitcher made with quality vintage glass.
In the late 1950’s to early 1960’s, smoked colors were very popular. What is known as Swedish Modern Glass was the rage. The Scandinavian makers introduced fabulous smoked colors, which was imitated by other countries. The Scandinavians also produced many styles imitating ice, wood and other organic surfaces, and other makers of the era followed suit.
In America, makers such as Duncan Miller, Tiffin, Bryce (to name a few) made Crinkle, Ockner, El Mexicana and El Rancho, etc. The pattern on this pitcher matches El Rancho by Bryce Bros. Glass Co., pre-1967.
The smoked moss color is beautiful. At first it appears to be an off-gray. At closer inspection the dark moss smoke green color is evident. Attractive pattern and color makes this large vintage glass pitcher a stunning vase too.

$195.00Retro Italian Toleware Ceiling Lamp from 1950’s
This retro modern Italian toleware ceiling lamp was discovered and removed from a kitchen in Colorado. The house was built in 1960. The lamp was original to the house. We removed it ourselves.
Since it had been hanging from the same ceiling for 51 years, it did not suffer the damage and wear normally found on mid-century Italian toleware objects. It was incredibly dirty, OMG. Removing the years of kitchen grease, dust, and petrified bugs, revealed very well-preserved toleware. There are pinholes and flakes in the white enamel paint, as shown in images below, easily remedied. The green paint is 100%. No corrosion or missing metal. Real nice.
One white ball lamp cover is original and it is made of hard unmarred plastic. The other two glass ball covers covers were replacements sometime in the past. All of the screws are white-capped and original. The copper wiring is original and in working condition. The Underwriters Labratory label is yellow and reads: ‘Cerama Inc. 1, Listed Electric Fixture Issue No. D-9759’.
Measures 19″ long on each of three sides. Stands 12½” tall. This is a beautiful understated mid-century modern Italian toleware ceiling lamp. Most 1950 – 1960’s toleware items from Italy lean to the ‘overstated’ side as was the fashion back then.
Bright and cheery for the kitchen or garden room.
