Large Forest Green Inspiration Goblet Set of 5

Fabulous set of 5 large Forest Green Inspiration Goblets by Anchor Hocking, circa 1950’s. In excellent condition.

These were called by other nicknames such as “Burple” (the correct nickname). They are often called “Berwick”, “Early American”, “Boopie” and “Bubble”, which are incorrect but tolerated because these are the names of Anchor Hocking stemware very similiar in design. Inspiration “Burple” have twisted stems with balls on the end, were given away as promotions and are highly sought after today.

They are big – 6 5/8″ tall – 13oz Ice Tea. They are beautiful, the patented Forest Green color can’t be matched. Very useable (handwash only).

    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.

  • 1920s English Art Glass Inkwell and Paperweight with Sliced Cane Decor.Made by one of England's oldest and finest glassmakers called 'Whitefriars'. First established by Carmelite Monks knowns as 'White Friars' in the 1600s, and finally closing its doors in the 1980s.

    Whitefriars Glass Magnum Millefiori Inkwell Paperweight

    1920s English Art Glass Inkwell and Paperweight with Sliced Cane Decor

    Made by one of England’s oldest and finest glassmakers called ‘Whitefriars’. First established by Carmelite Monks knowns as ‘White Friars’ in the 1600s, and finally closing its doors in the 1980s.This beautiful relic was made in the 1920s to 1930s by the Walsh Walsh or Arculus studios (part of Whitefriars). It is a large sized inkwell that has been used as such. There is a small stress mark on the bottom of the stopper’s insert (the part which goes inside the bottle), which can’t be seen and must be studied to detect. The ‘well’ has contained liquids in the past and has a light whispy film of liquid residue that will not clean off. Neither of these affect the integrity or the beauty of the glass. Only light bottom-wear, unusual as we would expect to see more bottom-wear on such a heavy piece. Overall outer appearance is excellent.

    Completely hand-made. Heavy blown glass with a polished base. The decor was accomplished by hand-arranging small canes (millefiori) and encasing them within the colorless glass. The concentric millefiori decor is just above the base and near the top of the stopper. An optical illusion causes the millefiori to be seen at the base of the inner well, but this is just a reflection, and a very nice one too. The skilled glass artist has inserted tiny air-bubbles, also in a concentric pattern, between the canes. The stopper was made to fit, and with a turn will settle in and provide a good seal.Weighs 4.25 lbs. Measures 6.25″ tall on a 4.5″ base. It is 5″ at widest with a total widest girth of 15″.

    Stunning. A great and unusual gift for the paperweight or inkwell collector. Whitefriars glass is highly prized by glass collectors of all kinds. Would be a great focal point for vanity or desk decor. Can also double as a precious liquid decanter.
