$20.00Beautiful old elegant fine cut crystal goblets by unknown maker. Listed in ‘Crystal Stemware Identification Guide’ as UNK302.
The big trumpet bowl is hand blown and cut with a wide band of crisscross and lower trim of large crisscrosses. The intricate stem was made with a 3-part mold. The foot was applied to the stem.
The pattern looks like Pairpoint Adelaide from the 1920’s. Adelaide is usually seen with a solid ball stem with air bubble inclusions. Also been seen with a rather plain square stem. The stem on these goblets have a pineapple type knop. The quality of this stemware matches that of the infamous Pairpoint.

$95.00Rowland Ward Game Bird Song Bird Cut and Acid Etched Crystal Brandy Snifters
Set Of 4 Rowland Ward Game Bird brandy Glasses. Beautifully cut, then acid etched to achieve 3 dimensional detail. Very well made. Superb quality crystal.
Over-sized at 6″ tall. Perfect for your fine brandy, cognac or even whiskey. Hand-Blown.
Two of the four snifters retain the original label, all wording is faded out. We believe these were made by Moser in the name of Rowland Ward who was a big game enthusiast, taxidermist and naturalist in England.
The unreadable sticker on the upper foot leaves us puzzled. We haven’t seen a Moser sticker that looks like this. Date of make is unknown, estimated mid-20th Century. Perhaps it is a distributor’s sticker.
Superb quality. They ring like long, lingering bells. Very fine blown crystal. Detailed bird carvings, each different. In like-new condition.

$140.00Art Deco glass decanter with jigger stopper and 5 shots made in the 1920’s to 1930’s. Flashed in luminous cranberry and etched in Cornflower.
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 glass was hand-formed, then flashed with a deep cranberry, almost ruby, luminous color. The Cornflower decor was wheel cut through the colored flashing revealing the colorless glass beneath.
Cornflower decor was offered by many glass-makers, but the design varied. Cambridge and Fostoria glass are well known for their Cornflower etchings, but the decor here does not match their styles. The key is the two leaves protruding from the top of the Cornflowers.
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.

$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.

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.
