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.

$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

$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.
