Neoclassic Jeannette Glass Wedgwood ice bucket. In near-new condition. Circa 1950’s. Gold rim is 98% present. Rare to find with such little wear. The ‘ice bucket’ was often used for many other things, including planters, so antique or vintage ice buckets usually have a lot of wear.

$160.00Victorian glass decanter in emerald green with hand-applied enamel decor. Large Handled jug with original stopper.
Antique decanter with enamel decor, probably of Bohemian (French or Czech) or could be English origin. It is hand-signed in gold on the base with a notched cursive L followed by a floating dot. Victorian Era or older.
To this date, we have not identified the “L” signature and we find that very odd! Perhaps it is not an “L”? We have another very old decanter and goblet signed the same, click here to view. If anyone can help with the ID, please email retroartglass@retroartglass.com .
The stopper is hand-formed and hollow with two intentional teardrop bubbles. The pontil scar is rough ground and inverted. The vessel was hand-blown from optic mold. The base of the decanter has optic panels. The handle was drawn by hand, crimped by tool and applied to the vessel. Stopper insert and neck are ground to fit. Original stopper.
The decanter base does not have calcium deposit damage. In image 7 (showing the rough pontil), notice the interior looks dirty. This is due to the reflections of the air bubbles trapped within the glass, the enamel decor showing through, and the remnants of a base protector. A fine layer of dust inside the vessel base can be seen. This dust, and the remnants of the base protector will be removed. No chips, no cracks. The hand-applied floral decor shows wear with about 90% of the enamel still present.
Large antique emerald green decanter measures 13″ tall with stopper.

$55.00Small and fanciful antique Victorian whimsy enameled crystal vase.
Petite Victorian whimsy vase was exported from England during a time when the Crown was taxing crystal. Until the mid 1800’s England taxed leaded glass by weight. To continue profitable exports, English glass makers made glass objects smaller to lower the tax obligation. This beautiful little ‘whimsy’ vase is a result of England’s high taxes on export glass.
This beautiful Victorian era vase was made of quality hand-blown emerald lead crystal with delicate hand-painted enamel flowers. Measures 6½” tall on a 3″ wide base. No damage or wear. Some light residue trapped inside near the base. 3/4″ wide neck opening perfect for single rose or 2-3 daisies.

$425.00Antique enameled glass decanter and Goblet Signed L.
Well-preserved antique Bohemian glass hand-blown decanter and goblet with enamel decor . Very rare. Very old.
This antique decanter set is probably of Bohemian origin, possibly Joseph Lobmeyr or his son Ludwig (Vienna, Austria) . It is signed in gold with a notched cursive L preceded by a floating dot and followed by a period on the base of the decanter. May be of English origin, as the exact style of palm fan decor on these items match that used by Thomas Webb in the 1870’s. Victorian Era or older…has a Renaissance look to it.
To this date, we have not identified the “L” signature and we find that very odd! Perhaps it is not an “L”? If anyone can help with the ID, please email retroartglass@retroartglass.com. We have another antique decanter in emerald green with the “L”? makers mark, click here to view.
Heavy hand-painted enamel decor of drapes, dots and fans/palms of Islamic inspiration. The thick, bright orange, yellow and white enamel decor is absolutely perfect, 100%, no damage, no wear.
The translucent glass is light amethyst. The very faint purple tint to the glass may be the intention of the artist, but most likely due to a “sun purple” effect which would develop naturally over the decades. The glass glows light neon green under black light.
The hollow stopper (original to bottle), neck, hollow base and goblet stem are in gold luster. The luster shows some wear, some pinholes, some areas of lightening, but is 95% present. Great condition for its age. The small wine glass did not receive it’s final grinding on the outer foot edge, making the rim around the foot rough, not chipped. Fired polished rims are slightly uneven, expected from old hand-blown glass. The pontil scar is rough ground.
The decanter’s inner hollow base has some residue that will come out with further detailing. The glass has NO hazing or calcium deposits. No chips, no cracks.
Large decanter measures 11.5″ tall with stopper. Stemmed goblet is 4″ tall. Stopper and decanter neck are ground to fit. Stopper is hollow. Exceptional.
Victorian Glass Decanter Large with Handle, Stopper, Enamel Decor, Signed L.

Thick, mold-blown ball vase with optic panels, marigold luster and hand-painted stylized florals and trim. The ruffles were hand-tooled and heat finished. Measures 7.5” tall, 7” wide with a girth of 19”. Weighs 3 lbs.
The glass in perfect condition. The enamel is 95% present. No major enamel missing, just worn a bit thin. The luster is in good condition, with the normal age-wear pin-holes and fading from cleaning.

Heavy band of bottom-wear indicative of it’s old age.

$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.

$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.
This vintage glass swag lamp is large and in perfect condition. The peach flowers were hand-painted in warm browns, oranges and yellows with black and cream stamen. 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.
The flora and fauna décor is in like-new condition. It is as whole and bright as the day it was made approx. 60 years ago. Works great. 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.
Nice and big vintage glass swag lamp. The globe and cap are 16 1/2“ tall with a widest girth of 31”. The wire and chain measure 11 FEET long and there’s an extra 6 feet of unchained wire to run to the wall outlet. An old green UL label is near the plug.
Probably produced by Hazel Atlas Glass in the ‘Gay Fad’ style. Back in the 1950’s ‘gay’ meant happy. Gay Fad items were decorated in florals like we see on this vintage glass swag lamp. Perfect for the sunny kitchen, bedroom or patio room. It’s a beautiful unique lamp.

Elegant pink Depression glass probably made by Jeannette Glass Circa 1930’s to 1950’s. Other major Elegant Depression Glass makers of the era like Fostoria, Imperial or US had very similar patterns with octagon shapes.

Set includes two candlestick holders; 3½” tall and 5″ wide; and one large 12″ eight-sided rolled bowl.
