$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…

$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.

$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.
