    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.

  • 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.
