  Magnificent Blown Cranberry Glass Fish

  Fantastic hand-blown Bohemian cranberry glass striking fish

  It’s a lunker!!! Huge art glass fish measures 21″ long, weighs almost 5 lbs. This prize catch was made of high quality glass, hand-blown by a skilled artist. The pink glass is called “cranberry”. Cranberry glass is achieved by adding real gold to the glass recipe. The cranberry glass is encased in a thick layer of colorless glass. Blowing two colors of glass together is called ‘Sommerso’.

  The tail, five fins and solid black eyes were formed separately, then applied to the fish body. The open mouth is beveled and polished. The mouth and tail area are slightly darker, this is due to the pink glass being thicker at those points.

  There are no inclusions in the fine glass. The blower managed to produce this giant with no errors (very difficult with hand blown glass). The glass is smooth and brilliantly translucent.

  The interior is hollow. It is a stunning decor focal point, but much too precious to put water inside for flowers (it would be difficult and dangerous to dry the hollow center). Shown with a large blown glass goldfish bowl to help show its enormous size. This is the largest blown fish we’ve seen to date.

  Fish vessels were popular in the mid-20th century. We have spotted another fish just like this with a ‘Bohemian’ sticker still attached. Made in the Czech countries. In excellent condition.

  Antique Hollow Stem Heavy Cut Crystal Cocktail Set of 6 Circa 1930’s

  Set of 6 antique crystal hollow stem cocktail or wine goblets with hand-cut stem and bowl decor.

  Rare set of (6) Art Deco 1930’s to 1940’s blown glass ultra elegant stemware with hollow stems. We believe this is a Rock Sharpe decor cutting. Unsure of the blank maker, could be Libbey, Morgantown, Seneca, Tiffin, Duncan or Bryce.

  Made of superb quality fire-polished crystal. Measure 5¼” tall, holds 4 ounces. The liquid fills the stem and enhances the cut decor effects. These beauties glitter and refract light like cut diamonds. The foot is cut with ovals.

  The stem is hand-cut solidly in a honeycomb pattern. The vessels are deep etch hand-cut with floral, leaves and bordered teardrops with crosshatch.

  All in excellent condition. Unusual to find these luxurious hand-cut hollow stem goblets, especially as a set of 6.  They are approximately 90 years old.
