    Antique Crystal Perfume Bottle by Tiffin in Aqua Blue

    Elegant early 20th Century antique crystal perfume decanter by Tiffin Glass, USA.

    Tiffin antique crystal perfume bottle circa 1910’s-1930’s, part no. 5768. Made by hand. The foot is applied to the vessel. The finial is applied to the stopper. Glass has “straw marks” (evidence of old cooling methods) and tiny trapped air bubbles on the foot. There is one tiny air bubble inside the stopper finial.

    The stopper has some flaking on the base (bottom of the dauber), but it is light and can’t be seen, and does not affect its purpose. The stopper neck and vessel neck are ground to fit.

    The stopper is engraved with wide ovals and stippling. The body is engraved with vines and leaves. Stands 7.75″ tall. Makes an excellent gift accompanied by a nice bottle of fancy cologne.

  • Amber Stained Pressed Heavy Quality Glass Serving Bowls.The golden yellow color is permanently stained on the glass (applied by hand) and fused by extreme heat. It will not wear off (as flashed glass can). This decor was sometimes called "Amberette".

    Yellow Stained Antique Glass Serving Set

    Amber Stained Pressed Heavy Quality Glass Serving Bowls

    These interesting vintage glass bowls resemble Early American Prescut, but are of a much higher quality than the Depression EAPC glass. This “fan & Star” pattern probably pre-dates Depression Glass; est. circa 1930s. The golden yellow color is permanently stained on the glass (applied by hand) and fused by extreme heat. It will not wear off (as flashed glass can). This decor was sometimes called “Amberette”.

    A few elegant glassmakers of the first part of the 20th century made amber stained glass; Heisey, Duncan (Amberette), Fostoria (Golden Glow), Cambridge, Hobbs Bruckunier, and Bohemian makers. The staining is precise and intricate, feels extremely soft and smooth to the touch. The glass is heavy and brilliant. Glass was pressed, NO mold lines visible (polished). Each bowl has acid ground triangles and grinding enclosing the stained stars. These areas were ground to provide a scratch-free base and for added decor. Nice touch. Beautiful edging is soft and seamless.

    The large bowl measures 8.5″ x 8.5″ (flares to 10″ at widest), 2.5″ deep and weighs 2.5 lbs. Smaller bowl  measures 5.25″ wide, 2″ deep and weighs 1 lb.
