$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.

$60.00Antique elegant ruby blown glass with a golden glow.
Have a smoke and a little spirit in elegant style! Beautiful ruby blown glass goblet and cigarette or paraphernalia holder. Rich golden ruby color achieved using real gold from yesteryear.
In great + condition. It’s rare to find antique glass in this decor style without wear. This set is almost perfect with a few tiny pinholes and scratches of wear on the gold surface that cannot be seen unless held up to the light. The gold appears perfect under normal conditions. The flashed gold ruby is in excellent condition, bright and with a glowing gold reflection. No chips or cracks.
The cigarette holder style was made by elegant glass makers of the early 1900’s to the 1940’s. Looks like it may be by Cambridge Glass, an elegant maker of the era. This set is at least 70 years old.
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. -
$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.
