This unusual vase is made of intentionally bubbly green glass. It is enamelled on two sides with a striking pink feather fronds with a gold and blue dot floral decoration. Some of the gold shows wear. The vase is 8.5" high and has a nice fat bulbous shape. We believe it to be hand-blown, and likely Bohemian in origin, from the late 19th or early 20th century. If you know more about this pretty vase, please let us know!
This sweet little cabinet vase was made by Mdina Glass in Malta. It stands about 4.5" high and features streaky gold and ochre colors with clear trailed glass around the base. Lots of skilled glass work in a small package! It still carries an original Mdina paper label.
Here is a grouping of three mid-century modern vases dating from the 1960's. They show strong profile lines and color, favored over ornamentation in mid-century modern design, and still popular with minimalists today.
The large dark amber brown vase is striking and heavy, standing 12" high. It is not marked as to maker, but it strongly resembles Finnish Riihimaki glass. This vase is item # GL359 priced at $65.
The next two vases could function equally well as candleholders or as bud vases, or they could simply stand alone as sculptural art pieces.
The orange vase is cased with clear glass on the outside and stands 6" high. It is marked with a paper Hirschberg label. This German company was active in the 1960's. This orange vase is item # GL307 priced at $25.
The white vase stands 7.5" high and is also cased with clear glass on the outside. The similarity of technique and shape would indicate that this vase is also from this German maker. This vase is item # GL358 priced at $25.
Here is an Art Deco era (1920's - 30's) vase in amethyst cloud glass with swirling tortoise shell effect, glossy on the outer surface and matte inside. It was made by the British firm Davidson. The broad flat panels and footed shape are classically Art Deco. It stands about 25 cm high and is quite heavy.
Another interesting piece of Art Deco era (1920's) English glass-making. This posy bowl is amber cloud glass by Davidson, with swirling tortoise shell effect, glossy on the upper surface and matte underneath. The posy bowl could be used for low floral arrangements or with a tea light or votive. It measures about 19 cm across and stands about 4 cm high.
This iridescent glass vase with pink interior is Art Nouveau in concept and dates around 1900.
The vase is mould blown with hand finished "petals" and it has an unfinished pontil mark under the base. It stands about 6" high.
The glass is iridescent bronze in color, with some slight wear under the collar where it has been handled over the years. This wear reflects normal use and not abuse, and does not detract from the pretty appearance of the vase.
We believe the vase to be Bohmenian of Loetz type, but we cannot attribute it to a specific manufacturer. If you can pin down a manufacturer, please let us know!
Item # GL341 consists of a place setting of Monax Petalware, made in the depression years by the American firm Macbeth-Evans. If you are not familiar with Petalware, it is an elegant, translucent glassware which looks particularly stunning on a dark background. It is tough enough for dinner but delicate in appearance.
The place setting consists of a dinner plate (smaller than today's dinner plates, ideal for lunch), a side plate, cup and saucer, and soup bowl (or salad or dessert bowl) with underplate. We have two place settings available, priced at $85 each setting.
Item GL342 is an oval serving platter priced at $25.
We have a couple of individual pieces of this glassware in addition. Please inquire.
These two small Lalique crystal goblets make the perfect shower, wedding or romantic gift. They are sherry, cordial or liqueur goblets with three bands of incised decoration, and a classic thin bowl. Little treasures!
These two Lalique crystal goblets make the perfect shower, wedding or romantic gift. They are probably water goblets, but would make generous size wine goblets as well. The pretty Argos pattern has a square base, square stem with two bands of incised decoration, and a classic thin bowl.
A very colorful Art Deco era vase from Czechoslovakia. This type of art glass is called spatter, or sometimes "end of day". However it was not made of scrap frit at the end of day, but deliberately designed to be colorful and festive. This vase has deep cobalt blue at the base and vibrant oranges and reds at the top. It goes surprisingly well with mid-century decor which utilizes the same bright colors.
The vase stands almost 7" high and is quite rotund. It really makes a bold statement.
Here are two hand-blown and hand-painted Victorian English vases made of the glass known generally as Bristol glass.
The first vase is a very pleasant, opaque jade green color. It is about 8.5" high. It is item # GL334 priced at $25.
The second vase is a pretty celeste blue color with optic ribbing and hand painted design. It is SOLD.
Here is a vintage Venetian glass vase with elegant proportions and delicately made. It is hand blown, with a folded rim on the foot for strength. The optic ribbing is typical of blown-in-mold glass. It stands about 10" high.
A pretty little chocolate slag glass toothpick holder, dating from the early part of the twentieth century. It has a molded design of three swans in Art Deco style and cattails. The piece stands about 6 cm high and would make a gorgeous gift for a friend.
This beautiful, heavy crystal bowl or vase has great mid-century modern presence with its cubic shape and circular protrusions. It measures just shy of 6" on each side. The piece has sparkling clarity and the timeless quality that you expect from this famous French crystal maker.
It is acid etched with the Baccarat France logo on the base and is also engraved Baccarat on one edge. We believe this piece is in the Paule line from Baccarat but we are not sure. We would love to know!
We attribute these candlesticks to the Ohio company Fry, although they share many characteristics with Carder era Steuben and would be from the same time period (1920's).
They are low and stable for an intimate dinner. A base with controlled bubbles is capped off with green random threading at the top flaring edge of the candle stick socket. There is an unfinished pontil mark up under the raised base. They are unsigned.
A great example of early twentieth century American glass blowing.
Blue aurene is a favorite of collectors of early Carder era Steuben. This bowl is large at almost 7" across and standing 2" high. It would be an early piece dating between 1910 and 1930. The bowl has the desirable strong silvery blue upper surface with onion-skin stretch marks at the edges. The under edge is a shiny darker blue and the contrast is quite beautiful.
The base is signed Aurene 138. There is one tiny, pin-head size loss of surface at the upper edge due to a bubble burst and one small indented bubble in the bowl itself. These are often found in hand-made glass. The bottom of the bowl is in good condition with no wear marks.
This sweet little bowl is an early example of Frederick Carder's favorite glass, which he called Verre de Soie or "silk glass" because of its soft feel and high sheen.
The bowl has pulled feather decoration which is rare on verre de soie. The pulled feather decoration is opaque white and clear blue.
The bowl measures 4" high and about 4" wide with 4 flutes at the top rim. The base has a ground and probably polished pontil mark and slight wear appropriate for age.
The bowl is unsigned as you would expect, since verre de soie is rarely signed, but we have had confirmation from the good folks in Corning that this is indeed a rare Steuben form.
Here are a pair of graceful Carder Steuben candlesticks. They date from about 1930. They are made of ivrene glass, sometimes called white aurene due to its firey opalescent surfaces. They are about 5" high and about 3.5" wide.
The ivory glass shade vase was made by Steuben in Corning N.Y. in the 1920's when the factory was directed by Frederick Carder. The shade vase is hand blown in a rib mold which gives a luscious optic rib effect to the ivory glass. The name shade vase comes from the practical nature of Mr. Carder who reused molds from his lamp shade business to make closed bottom vases. The vase has a polished pontil mark and is unsigned as is typical of Carder Steuben ivory glass. This beautiful, translucent, ivory colored glass is distinctively Steuben and belongs to the jade series of Steuben colors. The vase is 5" high.
Here is a cute little hand-blown shot glass made by the Frederick Carder era Steuben Company in Corning NY in the 1920's (Gardner shape 6333).
It is made of Spanish green glass which has random bubbles and outer reeding or threading at the top area. The glass is not signed, which is common for Steuben colored crystal. It has a small unfinished pontil mark on the base which is concave somewhat, so that the pontil mark does not contact the furniture surface. The glass is about 2.5" high and would make a great little gift for the shot glass collector or the Steuben collector.
We are offering a mold blown, quilted Venetian glass dish with green glass (possibly vaseline type) rigaree decoration. The dish also has an opalescent band and cranberry interior. The cranberry color has a granular appearance which we understand is often seen in the older Venetian pieces.
The dish is 6.5" wide at the top and the ruffle is 2" deep. The dish has a ground (finished) pontil mark.
We believe that this pieces is antique, dating from the late Victorian period or early 20th century and probably by the Salviati Company.
This pretty perfume bottle has all of the characteristics of Venetian glass - light weight, deep yellow color, unfinished pontil mark in the concave base, and an elaborate stopper with long glass dauber. It is 6" high and in good condition.
These heavy, crystal candlesticks are both signed Val St. Lambert. One candlestick has a tiny flake off the corner of one base and a tiny flake underneath, not noticeable unless you really look hard. This is reflected in our price.
These candle holders really sparkle and are perfect to dress your special occasion table.
This is a vintage carnival glass footed bowl or compote with a crimped rim and beautiful iridescence. It was made by Dugan in the early part of 20th century. It is unsigned but the pattern is well known as Stippled Petals.
We have other vintage carnival glass available, as listed below.
- Dugan small vase or rose bowl - Wreath of Roses pattern - amethyst
- Fenton bowl - Acorns pattern - amethyst - SOLD
- Fenton bowl with spade feet - Two Flowers pattern - amethyst
- Fenton bowl - Grape and Cable pattern - marigold

Here is an Imperial Glass (USA) bowl made in caramel slag glass (also known as end-of-day glass) with a windmill design in the bottom of the bowl. The bowl is mark on the base with the IG logo and would date from the 1960-70's. The bowl is about 8" across with a ruffled rim.
Item #GL262 is a depression glass light blue knife in its original box. These knives were finely honed to cut tomatoes and other fruit. There is slight roughness on the cutting edge of the knife, from normal use not abuse.
Imagine this little guy holding up some candy or fruit at the Christmas or Thanksgiving table. Fantastic!
The little winged cherub is holding a pressed glass bowl. The piece measures about 45 cm high and the bowl is about 19 cm across at the upper edge. There is a patination applied to the gold areas. The base is marked DAVART NY.
Console sets such as this one were popular in the 1920's through to the 1940's.
The set is made of green glass with a floral engraved design. The bowl with folded rim measures about 13" across. The matching candlesticks stand about 3.5" high. Both bowl and sticks have a typical Art Deco stepped base. All pieces are in good condition with no damage.
You may consider picking this set up at our showroom location, since shipping costs may be substantial.
This beautiful smoke glass bowl in an amorphic shape is an icon of mid-century modern minimalism. Designed by Per Lutken for Holmegaard Denmark in 1957, it is signed, initialled and dated on the bottom. The bowl measures about 12" across and is in excellent condition.
This heavy crystal fruit bowl was made by Holmegaard Denmark. It is engraved on the bottom with the company name, a production number and a designer's initial which appears to be that of Jacob Bang. The base mark was used in the 1960's.
The bowl measures 10" at the rim and is 4.5" deep. The glass has a faint color, not quite smoke and not quite blue. There is a tiny pin-head size imperfection in the glass which is not noticeable with normal use.
Here is an elegant art glass centerpiece in a typical mid-century olive green and amber colors cased with clear glass. The vase measures about 45 cm across the long direction. Note how the tips overlap which is a nice design feature.
We are attributing this piece to Chalet Canada, based on the form and the four lobed base. This example does not have the acid etched Chalet mark. We removed some old felt from the base to check, and discovered the roughness on the base that you see in the last photo, possibly resulting from burst bubbles during annealing at the time of manufacture.
Rossi Art Glass is currently being produced in the Niagara area of Ontario, Canada but we understand mostly in the cranberry color.
We offer here a beautiful and large glass basket. It measures about 8" x 10" and stands about 12" high to the top of the handle.
The basket is in a stunning purple color with controlled bubble effect with a clear handle. It still retains its original label and tag and would make a charming gift.
This little posy bowl in a mushroom shape dates from the late 19th century or very early Art Nouveau period. It is made of flint crystal with colored threading well marveered in. There is a ground and fire polished pontil mark on the base indicating the bowl was hand blown.
This vase is English in origin, probably made by either the Thomas Webb firm or by Harry Powell (Whitefriars), with the nod going to Webb.
This brilliant cut crystal bowl is stunning and in excellent condition. Mid to late 19th century.
This extravagantly cut crystal water carafe is typical of those made in the late Victorian period in America. Like many pieces of American brilliant cut crystal, it is not marked by the manufacturer. It is in good condition and very heavy.
Here is a great set for serving lemonade or ice tea or even something a little stronger perhaps. You get a pitcher and set of glasses in a convenient carrier, all with white and turquoise yacht or sailboat motif. All are sparkling clear and in good condition.
Imagine yourself on the boat or at the cottage with a nice cool one in hand.
Daniel Vargas has been creating beautiful art glass objects since 1958 in British Columbia, Canada. He is represented in various galleries and in private and corporate collections. Each hand-blown piece is a unique original, signed by the artist.
This multi-colored, iridescent perfume bottle with clear stopper stands 6" high and would make a delightful Canadian gift.
This antique plate is a heavenly shade of clear red in the color referred to as pigeon's blood. It makes a great Christmas serving plate. The outer trim of acorns and oak leaves is either pewter or unmarked silver. The metal can be polished to a higher shine if desired.
The plate is probably of mid-Victorian English origin.
It is highly unusual and you will love it.
This late Victorian, English Bristol glass, lidded jar features a fired-on frieze depicting glass blowers. The jar stands 8" high to the tip of the finial. The color is a very pretty, soft robin's egg blue. This would be a great gift for a glass collector or glass blower.
Here is a rare pair of thorny stem vases with opalescent bands standing 6.5" high. Certainly English and dating about 1870, their maker is difficult to pin-point. The opalescence is reminiscent of early Powell / Whitefriars, while the thorny stem and base suggest Stevens and Williams. Going out on a limb, we give the nod to John Walsh Walsh, the talented Victorian English glass-maker with the mischievous name.
These sweet little compotes are ideal for serving small mints, chocolates or candies to finish off a fine meal. They are both English cut and polished crystal and both are about the same size (approximately 5" across and 2" high).
Item GL231 is marked Royal Brierly England in the polished pontil mark on the base. It is priced at $25.
Item GL270 has a decoratively cut edge. It is marked Webb Corbett Made in England on the base. It is priced at $30.
Here is another contemporary art glass piece of mysterious beauty. It is silver foiled glass with brown random threading on the underside which gives the top surface an almost rust-like appearance. It would look beautiful on a mirrored or black surface in a contemporary setting.
We are reasonably certain that the bowl was made by Cive Italy in the 1990's and is a representative of their Argental line, now discontinued.
The bowl is 13" long, 7" wide and about 2.25" deep.
We offer this beautiful tall (10" high) vase made by the US firm Phoenix / Consolidated in the Bittersweet pattern on frosted molded glass. The pattern is highlighted with muted green and purple tones.
Another frosted and colored vase from Consolidated Glass, USA, in the popular dragonfly pattern. This vase measures 6" high. A little treasure!
Here is a Bohemian vase with possible Loetz origin, dating from around 1895. The vase is blown from green vaseline glass with applied, hand-tooled, opalescent fronds at the top, giving it a very Art Nouveau appearance. It is about 5.5" high.
Do you notice that the vase resembles a lamp shade upside down? We are convinced that the manufacturer of the vase also made lamp shades in the same technique.
The vase has a ground and polished pontil mark in the base, and a very partial, paper label with old hand-written ink writing (not decipherable).
We usually carry these Victorian cranberry wine glasses. They are English and are a little smaller than our wine glasses today, most suitable for sherry, port etc. Although close in size and shape, they are not a set. We sell them individually for $35 each, our choice for you.
This Early American Pressed Glass (EAPG) creamer is in the Lotus and Serpent pattern (~1875 from the Burlington Glass Works in Ontario Canada according to Unitt's "Treasury of Canadian Glass"). It is a charming rustic pattern made with and without the "serpent". It has never been reproduced in modern times according to the Unitt book.
Our American colleagues refer to this pattern as Garden of Eden and claim an earlier date ~1865 from an Eastern US source, likely the Jefferson glass company. It is possible that molds were bought and sold or that popular designs were copied. Like most EAPG, this pieces carries no maker's mark. The pattern is quite rare and all figural EAPG patterns are desirable.
The creamer stands 6 inches high. Note the charming details of the rustic handle and the cute serpent's face in the second photo.
This Early American Pressed Glass child's mug is in the documented Good Boy pattern. There was also a Good Girl matching cup that was available at the time (about 1880), but no mugs for bad children. Our mug is in an olive green color glass that was fairly common at that date. A cute addition to your Victorian glass collection.
Item # GL237 is an early American pressed glass rosebowl marked with the molded bee mark for the Higbee Company. We think this pattern is called Hawaiian lei or Gala. The bowl is about 6" in diameter.
Item # GL242 is another Bee marked Higbee rose bowl of about the same size as the first. This one has broad molded panels which emphasize the clariy of this antique glass, and a rayed or star base.
Higbee rose bowls date from about 1910 and are perfectly sturdy enough for modern living.
We have a strong local collecting interest in Heisey glass in our area because of the relatives of the American family who migrated north to Canada. The Canadian family name is usually spelt Heise.
This little nappy or bowl is oval at the top edge, forming indented molded hand grips underneath. It measures about 5" at the longest cross-section at the top edge and stands about1.25" high. The silver is in good shape being an overlay rather than a thin deposit. The bowl is marked with the diamond H symbol.
We have a couple of other Heisey pieces in stock. Please enquire.
We have on hand at any time, various pieces of Hughes Corn Flower Pattern Cut / Engraved Glass.
This Canadian product has timeless appeal which endures through generations. The Hughes company set out to produce a fine quality engraved glass product which would grace Canadian homes. The pretty Corn Flower pattern was cut on fine quality imported glass, mostly from US sources including Heisey and Imperial. The most desirable Corn Flower is that engraved on colored glass, but the more common clear glass products are pretty and useful.
Please enquire about what we have in stock, and let us know what you need.
In the 1950's, Hughes contracted with a local area manufacturer of aluminum serving pieces to produce trays and other items engraved with the Corn Flower pattern. These trays are great to display your Corn Flower glass collection on.
Our tray is in great condition with very little surface scratching and it has a partial Hughes Corn Flower label on the back.
