$160.00Very large spangled glass goblet hand-blown in amber, black and laden with gold.
This vintage or antique hand-crafted art glass ceremonial goblet is made with high quality crystal and weighs 3½ pounds. Stands 11¼” tall with a 8″ wide bowl.
The blown bowl is made with black crystal and heavy gold or copper aventurine or ‘spangle’ embedded within the glass. The applied hand-worked stem is made with amber crystal loaded with aventurine. The applied foot is in amber crystal.
Exceptional and unusual oversize art glass goblet. Made of quality colored crystal. Rings like a bell. Because real crystal, made with lead, is rarely used today we believe this beautiful creation is of at least vintage age. The rich decor of ample aventurine is also not made much today.
The base of the foot has very little bottom-wear. We expect to see at least medium bottom-wear on heavy vintage glass items, but this goblet’s base was protected, or rarely moved.
It has the Venetian/Murano glass appeal and feel, but may be American blown spangled glass. Hobbs Brockunier made some hand-blown items with the same colors and decor, but that was back in the mid-1800’s.
Large highly designed art glass goblets forms like this were used as ceremonial goblets. This stunner is a stand-alone decor eye-grabber. Would look beautiful with a artificial draping plant or floral in the cup.
In great condition. Glass is free of water stains. Shines brilliantly. The hand-polished rim of the bowl has one nick that can be felt when running a finger around the rim. It’s so slight that it cannot be seen or imaged, but can be felt.
Maker and age unknown at this time. Estimated circa 1850 to 1960.

$145.00What a hoot! This big art glass owl paperweight with wandering eyes brings a chuckle.
Made by hand using the Sommerso method of blowing two or more gathers of different colored glass together to form colors within colors. Sommerso means ‘submerged’ in Italian. This owl was created with two colors, dark blue and light amber. The eyes are in three layers, circles of applied blue with whites of the eyes and black pupils applied separately.
The crown, beak, eyes, feet and base were applied to the body. The backside of the body was hand-tooled to create a texture of ‘feathers’. Well-made by a talented Italian/Murano craftsman. We do not know the glass house or maker of this Great Horned Owl. During the Mid-20th Century famous Italian glass artists like Archimede Seguso and Flavio Poli created objects in Sommerso. Many of their works were made specifically for export to places like the U.S.. The ‘made for export’ items are rarely signed by the artist. J.I. Imports was an American importer of Italian/Murano glass. We believe this owl was an import item. Circa 1960’s to 1970’s.
Big shifty-eyed owl weighs 1.8 lbs and stands 6¼” tall. In perfect condition.

$155.00Large Murano art glass paperweight in millefiori (Thousand Flowers in Italian) with a velvety satin finish.
Densely packed millefiori over a colorless interior. The interior can be seen only from the base. The canes are well-made (hand-made) with many colors featuring a single cane that differs than the others. It may be a signature cane. See image 2 lower left. The cane has a white background with black center trimmed with red loops.
Many famous Italian artists created millefiori glass objects. Our first guess of maker for this paperweight would be Toso, made for export (import to U.S.).
Big pedestal paperweight weighs 1.6 lbs., measures 4″ tall and 3½” at widest. 9½” circumference on top. Dates to the 1950’s to 1960’s, could be older.

The Corroso decor resembles ancient excavated glass. This art glass style was made popular by Alfredo Barbini (Italian). It is unsigned. Very well-made.

$15.00Velvety Soft Satin Glass Bunny Ghost
This velvety soft satin glass bunny has a pleasing smooth feel to the touch. It is accomplished by applying an acid wash to the finished form. The semi-opaque result of the acid wash combined with the hand-tooled surrealistic form results in a “ghosted” look.

$40.00Blenko Art Glass plum clamshell dish.
Retro modern handmade Blenko glass dish in a form known as Clam Shell. Made in the late 1980’s. Versatile uses include, candle-holder, flower float, incense, catch-all, snack server, ashtrays, etc.
The scarcely seen Blenko color called ‘Plum’ was produced for only four years; in 1967 and again in 1988 to 1990. It’s a beautiful dark regal purple. Blenko’s shades of colors varied slightly from batch to batch because they made their own glass colors, mixed by hand. This causes the shades to differ a bit from batch to batch.
Shown in Blenko catalogs as part 7935. The part numbers begin with the year and end with the design number. This form was designed in 1979, design number 35. This piece dates to 1988-1999.
Thick, heavy handmade vintage glass contains straw marks and small trapped air bubbles, expected in Blenko glass. Weighs 1¾ lb and measures 7½” long, 6″ at widest. In excellent condition.

$450.00Hand-formed massive Murano art glass goose or duck figurine stands just under 20″ tall and weighs 13 lbs.
The largest Murano art glass goose figurine we’ve seen, and we’ve been looking at vintage glass for over 20 years. It’s almost life-size.
Masterfully made by hand with an elongated intentional stylized interior air bubble running from the tail to just below the head. The solid glass base and bill were hand-formed separately, then applied to the body. Measures 19.5″ Tall, 7″ at widest point, 5″ base.
In excellent condition with heavy bottom wear on base. This architectural size Murano art glass goose weighs 13 lbs. The weight and age combined creates scratching where the seat of the base meets a surface. ‘Bottom-wear’ cannot be seen unless the object is turned upside-down.
Mid-century Italian Murano art glass. Estimated Circa 1940-1960. Maker near certain to be Flavio Poli for Vetreria Seguso. Flavio Poli, famous for his designs using the “Sommerso” technique, was artistic director for Vetreria Seguso from 1937 – 1963. The company closed in 1972
Extremely Rare.

$140.00Blenko Art Glass Plates Made for Williamsburg Colony in Hand Formed Glass
Big Blenko Art Glass plates hand-made exactly as they were made in 17th Century Williamsburg, Virginia, U.S.A. They measure approximately 11 3/4″ round. The size varies slightly because they were hand-formed.
In the early 1920’s, Williamsburg historians recreated the ‘Williamsburg Colony’ in the city as a tourist attraction. They outfitted the colony with exact reproductions of items used by the early American settlers. Blenko glass received the first glassware contract, and later the contract was given to Leerdam, a Dutch glassworks.
The Blenko Art Glass plates have no chips or cracks. They are in original condition. The rim is folded under. The pontil marks have been ground rough, and the glass is peppered with trapped bubbles and furnace inclusions, just like you’d see in early American glass.
Blenko collectors know that much of Blenko’s ‘colorless’ glass has a very light tint of blue, especially when viewed under bright light. One plate shows a strong stain of blue in the center, one has less blue.

$45.00Beautiful intricate paperweight with ruby jewels nestled in a pink cloud surrounded by floating bubbles.
A worn “Crystal Art Glass Cambridge O.” paper label on the bottom has been protected and secured by tape.
According to the expert at Allan’s Paperweights:
“John Degenhart was born in Wheeling, West Virginia in 1884. He started working in glass at the Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton Company factory in Findlay, Ohio at the age of ten. John’s brother Charles, also worked at Dalzell. In 1901, both joined Cambridge Glass in Cambridge, Ohio.
The original paperweight production was the work of Charles and his two sons. John also produced paperweights to help meet the demand. This started as an after hours activity in the 1920s while the men worked at Cambridge Glass (with the approval of the company). John retired from Cambridge Glass in 1946 and opened the Crystal Art Glass Company shortly after that. Most of the early production was devoted to paperweights.”
Condition is perfect. The paperweight is 3-1/16″ in diameter and 2-5/8″ high. Weighs 1¼ lbs. Circa approx. 1947.

$190.00Iconic Dino Martens Oriente design oval cased art glass bowl in excellent condition.
According to the book “Venetian Art Glass” by Marino Barovier, the Oriente decor (designed by Dino Martens) was made infamous at the XXVI Biennale di Venezia in 1952 when it received widespread recognition. At the time, Dino (originally known as Corrado Martens) was free-lancing for Aureliano Toso’s glassworks in Italy. Since then the highly sought after polychrome and aventurine mottled decor was expanded to include many more models. Aureliano’s son, Fratelli Toso carried the line onward.
The original Dino Martens items included graphics accomplished with zanfirico and reticello rods inserted, resulting in grids and abstract faces and/or flowers. The original design was cased in thick colorless glass.
This bowl uses all the correct colors and gold aventurine of the original design but does not have the linear graphics. It is cased in white (lattimo) glass. We believe this piece may have been made by Fratelli Toso glass-works in the late 1960’s to 1970’s.
In excellent condition. Measures 10″ x 9″ oval, 2½” tall. Weighs nearly 3 lbs. Multiple uses; flowers, candy, dip, catch-all, cigar ashtray, etc.

$240.00Murano Art Glass black amethyst galaxy bowl.
Unusual shaped square bowl with a deep round well in the center. Big, heavy and beautiful. Looks like a ‘black hole’ gobbling up galaxies. The murrine ‘galaxies’ are surrounded by large flake silver aventurine that look like distant stars.
Loaded with big silver aventurine flakes and colorful murrina. The black glass is actually very dark amethyst. It appears dark black normally, but when held up to the light you can see the glints of purple. Using very dark red or purple glass was the method of creating black glass in the past.

$400.00Antique Venetian hand blown glass pitcher jug and four flute goblets.
Exquisite antique Venetian mouth blown glass by a master of the craft. Estimated circa; early 1900’s. We have not identified it yet, but have many clues. We are certain this set is not of modern make. The shape and decor have a story to tell.
The set of four goblets and pitcher and appears to be from the late 19th to early 20th century Italy. The style and form were revived from ancient glass examples excavated during the Renaissance by great maestros of glass in the 1700 and 1800’s whose names and achievements still live on today.
The large antique Venetian pitcher and goblets were mouth blown in a slightly iridescent, very light airy green. The light green glass lights up neon green under black-light, indicating the presence of Manganese or Uranium.
The pitcher leans forward, as in ancient days. This feature assisted the hostess or servants while tipping the large pitcher for service. This pitcher should always be lifted in this manner to avoid damage to the handle.
The mottled plum base and stretch satin handle are hand-formed, each with a different decor style, and applied to the pitcher’s body. The inverted dome feet/bases are mottled clear and plum glass with folded up rims. Pontil scars located on inner domed feet are slightly rough. The goblet rims are folded up. The hand drawn and stretched handle is in mottled plum and clear glass with added decor of fumed iridescence. It’s as soft as velvet and shimmers and shines.
A tiny chunk of coal from the glass furnace is trapped within this vessel’s handle (see image). Coal from an old fashioned furnace trapped within the glass is a sure sign of age.
A double wafer knop is applied to base and vessel, joining the two. The large handle is applied. It hoops well above the body. This large jug is meant to be held with two hands. One hand on the handle, the other flat out on the opposite side on the body.
It is in wonderful shape with no cracks or chips or liquid damage. The pitcher is perfect. The goblets have very slight minimal scratching on the interior probably due to stir sticks.
Pitcher is 10″ tall, 6.5″ at widest with a widest girth of 19″. Pitcher’s foot is 5.25″ wide. The four flute goblets measure 6″ tall, mouth opening width of 3.75″ and foot width of 3.25″. Large tumblers – full-sized. Set includes one large pitcher and FOUR large fluted goblets. Sparkling clean.
The form, style and decor of this antique Venetian beverage set lead us to the path of Compagnia di Venezia e Murano and down the path to Pauly & C. You can read more via the links below.
According to Wikipedia:
Pitcher made by Vittorio Zecchin with fumed handle, domed and folded foot, leaning slightly forward. Compagnia di Venezia e Murano began as Salviati &C. in London in 1866 under the direction of Vicenza attorney Antonio Salviati and with the backing of two British men: archaeologist Austen Henry Layard and antiquarian Sir William Drake. The company was dedicated to using ancient techniques and utilized master glassblowers in its efforts to do so. Read More…

$130.00Hobbs Brockunier Frances Ware Antique Syrup Pitcher
Antique syrup pitcher from the Frances Ware line by Hobbs Brockunier. Turn of the century American art glass, circa late 1800’s. ‘Francis Ware’ was named after Grover Cleveland’s (USA President) wife Frances Folsom.
Beautiful Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) hobnail pattern with a satin frost acid treatment on the lower half and a bright glowing amber on the upper portion. Hobbs Brockunier made quite a few table items in this pattern. Hard to find, but a real pleasure to collect.
Many Frances Ware items found today have chipped hobnails from bumping into other table items over the last 100+ years. This old stunner has only 1 small chigger on one hobnail on the body of the pitcher. On the base, the seat of the pitcher, there are approximately 8 chiggers off the last two rings of hobnails. These chiggers are invisible unless the pitcher is turned upside-down. They were caused by surface wear. See image 4.
The antique syrup pitcher has a pewter lid with 2 visible dents on the finial. The lid is intact and secure. Thumb tab flips up the lid to reveal a pouring spout. The lid seems to have a spring type control that provides tension while opening and it insures the lid shuts when the thumb pressure is removed. Whatever hardware used for this upgrade function is hidden within the thick walls of the cap.
The glass is sparkling clean with no residue stains. The solid glass handle was applied to the body. Made by hand over 100 years ago. Measures 7″ tall, 4½” at widest.

$145.00Antique Venetian Art Glass Hand-Blown Vanity Vase Set with Silver Aventurine
Darling antique Venetian art glass vase set made by hand in Venice, Italy. They appear to be very old, possibly late 1800’s. Both in excellent condition.
Made of quality cased crystal. Inner layer of pink and green color with sparking silver aventurine. The vases are thick-walled with drawn stems. Applied hand-tooled crystal leaf bases have been ground to sit flat. Small bits of furnace debris can be seen within the glass. Furnace debris is often found in antique glass because they used open furnaces and organic fuel. In excellent condition.
Made completely by mouth and hand. One is slightly taller than the other. Both stand straight upright, the smaller appears to slant in the images, but it doesn’t slant, it’s a side-effect of imaging. They are not perfect in shape, but this is due to very old hand-made glass methods.
Beautiful for the vanity. Tallest is 7 3/8″, smaller stand 7″ tall. Both in excellent condition.
