$260.00Art Deco era Swedish crystal translucent smoked stemware set of 24, service for 12.
Hand blown quality Swedish crystal with heat finished rims and applied stem. Bases are inverted. Pontil mark is finished clean and smooth. Color is smoke black with just the slightest hint of moss green. High quality colored crystal of medium weight with a nice ting. Saucer shaped wafer stem is solid glass.
Vintage Swedish crystal was some of the finest made in the world. Maker uncertain. Suspect Orrefors, Simon Gate (Sweden), See image 7 which shows a variety of 1920’s Simon Gate (Orrefors) crystal goblets; the goblet on the right appears to be the exact pattern of this set. The glass recipes contains manganese, a mineral used to replace lead during the World Wars and used through the 1950’s. Manganese causes a glow under black-light, see image 6.
Fabulous find – set of 24. Includes 12 water or wine goblets and 12 champagne, cocktail or desert goblets. Large measures 5.25″ tall, smaller measures 4″ tall. Both have 4″ wide bowls. They have large full bowls with a girth of 12″. All are in excellent condition except one of the cocktail goblets which bears a very tiny rim chigger.

$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.

$210.00Big Blenko Art Glass Decanter Charcoal Crackle
This Blenko Art Glass decanter bottle was made in the rare Charcoal color. Item’s in Blenko’s Charcoal color are relatively hard to find. The color was produced only a few years; 1954 to 1958, 1961 to 1962, and 1971.
The giant form was designed by Winslow Anderson, an infamous mid-century glass artist who worked with Blenko from 1947 to 1953. It is a 920L decanter and originally came with a tall teardrop stopper in matching color. This decanter has lost its original stopper. The stoppers are very easy to break and usually don’t survive the years.
The bottle is shown with a ‘married’ ruby glass hand-blown stopper from the same era. The stopper fits well, in itself is hard to find, and looks awesome until a matching charcoal flame stopper is found.
The bottle was mouth-blown, hand-formed, then sheared at the neck opening. It was dipped in ice water while still hot to create the crackle effect. The neck opening rim was fire-polished smooth.
The base still retains Blenko’s inventory label. It reads: “Blenko, Milton W.VA 0920L”. The bottle stands a whopping 16.5″ tall and weighs 3.6 lbs. The neck opening is 1 1/8″ wide (measured from inner wall). In perfect condition. Glass is clean and brilliant.

$90.00Hand blown Danish Modern crystal cocktail set in like-new condition with box.
Elegant, high-end Danish Modern crystal. This series was called ‘Elsinore’ and was made in different sizes and colors in stemware and pitchers.
Four of the six cocktail stems retain the original ‘Kastrup Holmegaard‘ label. This label was first used in 1965 and was changed in 1975 when Kastrup (a very, very old Danish glass making company) was dropped from the label.
They are all in excellent condition. Beautiful, well-made glass. The bowl, stem and foot were hand-blown separately and then applied to each other. Smoke grey color with just a hint of smoke olive green.
The box took a beating, but the cocktail stems survived. It’s so nice to have the box because it identifies the series name. Measure 3.75″ tall with a 3″ wide mouth. Holmegaard part no. G6736 (found inside box). Circa 1965 to early 1970’s.

$50.00Large Vintage Glass Pitcher by Bryce in the El Rancho Pattern
Hand-formed vintage glass pitcher in smoke green with ice lip by Bryce, USA. This is a large and beautiful beverage pitcher made with quality vintage glass.
In the late 1950’s to early 1960’s, smoked colors were very popular. What is known as Swedish Modern Glass was the rage. The Scandinavian makers introduced fabulous smoked colors, which was imitated by other countries. The Scandinavians also produced many styles imitating ice, wood and other organic surfaces, and other makers of the era followed suit.
In America, makers such as Duncan Miller, Tiffin, Bryce (to name a few) made Crinkle, Ockner, El Mexicana and El Rancho, etc. The pattern on this pitcher matches El Rancho by Bryce Bros. Glass Co., pre-1967.
The smoked moss color is beautiful. At first it appears to be an off-gray. At closer inspection the dark moss smoke green color is evident. Attractive pattern and color makes this large vintage glass pitcher a stunning vase too.
This large pitcher was hand-blown from mold with hand-tooled spout and applied hand-blown handle. Nice, heavy band of bottom wear matches age. In excellent condition. Measures 9.5″ tall, 7.5″ from spout to handle. Weighs 3 lbs. Big pitcher holds 74 ounces. In excellent condition.
