$165.00Fabulously large mod art glass snifter goblet vase in Ruby and Amber optic.
This is one of the largest 1950’s – 1960’s mod art glass snifters we’ve seen. Stands 18″ tall, 9″ at widest with a girth of 26″ on a 6.5″ wide foot. Italian makers were responsible for most of these extreme large vases produced in the mid-20th century. American makers also got in on the fad and produced items like this.
It’s huge, larger than you think. Would make a beautiful floor vase if kept from areas where a foot could hit it. Can be a plant holder, ferns look awesome. Never put dirt inside though, use a plant pot that will sit inside the 6″ opening and remove the pot before watering.
Hand blown. Huge bowl was blown from an optic mold. Hand-formed stem is applied to the vessel, foot is applied to the stem. The vessel has a light vertical disc optic, hard to see and won’t come out well in images. Provides a nice fluid sparkly glow. The stem has a unintentional internal bubble that can be clearly seen in the images (often seen in vintage hand made glass). There are a couple of small unintentional bubbles on the foot. Not uncommon for this style of blown glass from the mid-century. In excellent condition.

$140.00One of the most impressive giant brandy snifter vases we’ve seen. Super classy.
Giant brandy snifter vase from mid-20th Century Italy. Especially popular form made by many glass artists. This one was made by a pro. It has a spiral optic that is mesmerizing. Most of the oversize snifter vases had various optic decors, but a beautiful spiral twist like this is rarely seen.
The spiral optic produces a zig-zag illusion as the light shines through the moss black glass. Such a great color, goes with nearly every decor. The slight hint of dark moss green shows best under lights (see image 3 for best color representation) It’s a rich masculine color.
It’s huge, will hold armfuls of flowers, or a trailing plant in a 5″ wide pot (mouth width). It stands 12.75″ tall on a 6.76″ wide foot. It is 9½ at it’s widest with a 27″ all around widest girth. Weighs 3 lbs. Shown in image 4 with a 7.25″ tall brandy snifter vase.
The bowl was hand-blown from an optic spiral mold. The stem and foot were hand-made separately and applied. It has a heavy round pontil mark on the base of the low domed foot. The mouth rim is lightly ruffled. In perfect condition. Circa 1950’s – 1960’s.

$20.00Beautiful old elegant fine cut crystal goblets by unknown maker. Listed in ‘Crystal Stemware Identification Guide’ as UNK302.
The big trumpet bowl is hand blown and cut with a wide band of crisscross and lower trim of large crisscrosses. The intricate stem was made with a 3-part mold. The foot was applied to the stem.
The pattern looks like Pairpoint Adelaide from the 1920’s. Adelaide is usually seen with a solid ball stem with air bubble inclusions. Also been seen with a rather plain square stem. The stem on these goblets have a pineapple type knop. The quality of this stemware matches that of the infamous Pairpoint.
Quality colorless fine cut crystal. Exceptional clarity. The crystal recipe contains Manganese, a mineral used to replace lead during WWI and WWII when lead was scarce. Manganese causes the glass to reflect greenish under black-light (image 3). Estimate circa 1910 – 1940.
Beautiful lingering tone when plinked. Each goblet weighs ½ lb. Stand 7½” tall. All three in perfect condition. Three are available, each selling separately. Choose your quantity above. Lovely as a gift with a bottle of fine wine.

Beautiful rich dark grape amethyst distinctly retro modern color. Circa 1960’s to 1970’s. Blown into mold with heat finished rim, no visible seams. Sparkling clean, no damage.
This fantastic retro vintage glass vase is large enough for an armful of flowers. Unique authentic retro decor.

$45.00Tip of insert is 1 1/16″ wide. It tapers up to 1¾” wide at the base of the mushroom head. This stopper has an insert that can sit flush with the bottle neck or raised above the bottle neck. It measures 5½” tall and 6″ wide. Hollow colorless glass in perfect condition.
To determine if your stopper will fit your bottle:
Replacing missing stoppers is tricky. A good fit is essential. The measurements must match perfectly to the bottle neck opening in order to seal the air out and sit upright (without wiggling). Replaced stoppers are referred to as “married”, meaning the stopper is not original to the bottle.
- Measure the inner diameter of bottle neck opening. Use a soft tape measure to determine the width of the top opening. Measure the open space only, between the bottle neck opening. Do not include the glass rim of the bottle neck.
- The stopper’s ‘insert top’ should match the inner diameter (width) of the bottle neck opening exactly or just very slightly smaller. Some stopper inserts can sit above the neck of the bottle. You can use your soft measuring tape to encircle the inner top opening to obtain the circumference.
- Most decanter bottle necks taper slightly down toward the vessel, resulting in a smaller neck measurement than the bottle neck opening. You should know the length of the insert. The insert is the portion of the stopper that enters the bottle neck opening.
- Take the measurement of the stopper’s insert length, from base to top of insert, and use your soft tape measure to determine where the stopper base will rest in your bottle neck. The stopper’s ‘insert base’ should measure exactly or just very slightly smaller than the measurement of the area of the bottle neck where it will rest when inserted.
Most stoppers made for the large decanters from the past have a ground area encircling the stopper base. These stoppers have been ‘ground to fit’ by the maker for the exact bottle they were made for. If you know how to grind glass, or know someone who does, you can have your stopper altered to fit your bottle. This can be done only with stopper inserts that are slightly larger than the bottle neck.
Trying to get a perfect ‘marriage’ between a vintage glass decanter and replacement stopper is not easy. Often, even when the measurements match up, the stopper will tend to lean or wiggle. If your decanter is for decor purposes only, and you do not plan on using it as a decanter, you can put a small blob of putty or wax on the inner neck of the bottle to stabilize the stopper.

$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.

This large vintage cranberry glass vase is clean as a whistle, rarely used if at all. Label still attached. There is one extremely tiny flea bite on the rim. Cannot be seen but can be felt when running a finger over the rim.
Cranberry glass achieves its color from the addition of real gold to the glass batch. The amount of gold used determines the shade of pink. This big beauty is in a medium dark shade.
Give your love a dozen roses in a stunning hand-made vintage cranberry glass vase by the infamous Pilgrim Art Glass! He or she will swoon and love you forever.

$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.
Shown in The Collector’s Encyclopedia of American Art Glass on page 74.

$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.

$115.00This fabulous and rare crystal beer mug is hand-etched, signed and numbered ‘Strombergshyttan, A. Stromberg, Lord Queensberry, 452/1973’. It also has the original label attached to the glass. It was made in 1973, limited edition of 3500. Unused in original box.
Strombergshyttan, a member of the ‘Kingdom of Crystal‘, was founded in 1876, Sweden as Lindfors glassworks. Edward Stromberg, the former head of Orrefors, took over in 1933. Asta Stromberg made this mug in 1973. She was married to Eric Stromberg, son of Edward, who died in 1960. She continued the family business until a major fire wiped out the factory finances and the company was sold to Orrefors.
Very difficult to image the color of the glass. The crystal beer mug has a bluish silver hue, a specialty color of the factory, see image 3 for best color example. Hand blown with applied handle. The impressionist face is engraved and deep acid-etched with textures. Pontil mark is a polished concave circle. Big mug weighs 2 lbs and measures just under 6″ tall. Box has foam fitted padding on both sides to cradle the mug while stored.
The mug is in excellent condition. The box is in worn stored condition. Read the pamphlet that comes with it in image 5. The Marquis of Queensberry was involved with the mug decor, perhaps the designer of the face.
