$25.00Retro Fire King Kitchen Glass Summerfield Vintage Loaf Pan and Sauce Bowls
Fire King kitchen glass from the mid-20th Century was a revolution for homemakers. Bakeware that could be used from the oven to the table to the refrigerator was a concept welcomed by housewives. Fire-King produced many styles and decors to satisfy the demand.
Retro Fire King glass is fun to collect by pattern, and to use. The Summerfield pattern, introduced in the 1973 Fire-King catalog is nick-named ‘Flower Field’ by collectors.
This set includes a loaf pan (part no. W441/185) and two sauce bowls (W434/185) . All are in perfect condition with bright, complete graphics. Sauce bowls measure 3.75” wide and 2” tall. Loaf pan is 11″ long (handle to handle), 5½” wide, 2½” tall.
Vintage Fire King kitchen glass storage and bake ware is better and sturdier (and prettier) than modern, imported Fire King glass in stores today. Back in the day, Fire-King was made in the USA. Today’s Fire-King products are made offshore and the glass recipe is different…ie; synthetic.

$175.00Beautiful large retro vintage glass swag lamp from the 1950’s with airbrushed peach flowers.

The leaves are in earthy olive greens. The very light tan shading gives depth. The large glass globe is in light cream with a hint of orange. It has the look of antique ‘Peach Blow’ glass with peachy orange enamel flashing on the bottom gradually shading into the light peach color.

Has a handy-dandy new-fangled big round on/off switch module at the end of the chain that can be attached to the wall. The switch module has wear to the plating, but it works.
There is a mark on the glass at the top of the globe near the antiqued gold-tone metal cap. It looks like some very small strips of the décor were removed when somebody removed a sticker. All else is perfect.

$55.00Diamond Block Covered Butter Dish – Antique Flint Glass
Antique flint glass covered dish made during the Early American pressed glass period (EAPG 1825 – 1910). Homemakers, servants and/or slaves made their own butter from milk. It was a time consuming process and butter was considered a luxury food. Beautiful dishes were made to present the butter at the dining table. This rare table service butter dish is an excellent example.
Probably made by George Duncan & Sons / U.S. Glass circa 1880, pattern called Diamond Block, also known as Diamond Waffle, also known as Patricia. Other possible makers are Westmoreland Glass, pattern Gillinder, circa 1889; and Heisey made a limited pattern like this called ‘mitered diamond’. The shape of the knob points directly to Duncan and we are 90% sure it is by Duncan.
Made of ‘White Glass’, a term used to describe antique flint glass. Flint glass is a very hard glass, and reflects a white sparkle. If broken, it separates into chunks. Usually made with quartz in the recipe.
Table service butter dishes are sized-down to accommodate about 1/4 lb. Doubles as a cheese, cavair, etc. server. This scarce beauty measures 5″ round and 3″ tall, weighs 1 lb. It is in near perfect condition. Amazing. The only sign of age is the thick, complete band of bottom-wear (from surface contact) on the seat ring and a small thin sliver off the inner bowl ring which holds the dome in place. Nearly invisible but can be felt. Dome was made with a 4-part mold, base was pressed.

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