This charming hand-blown cranberry glass basket has distinctive lady face masks where the handles join the body of the basket. Look very carefully at the photo and you will see them.
The basket stands 9.5" high and is about 4" wide. There is an unfinished pontil mark on the base.
We have no information about the age or origin of the basket and we would love to know!
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.
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 are a pair of cute little hand-blown shot glasses made by the Frederick Carder era Steuben Company in Corning NY in the 1920's. Only one is shown, but we have a pair.
They are made of green glass (Spanish green or Antique green) which has random bubbles and outer reeding or threading at the top area. The glasses are not signed, which is common for older Steuben glass. They have a small unfinished pontil mark on the base which is concave somewhat, so that the pontil mark does not contact the furniture surface. The glasses are about 2.5" high.
They would make great little gifts for the shot glass collector or the Steuben collector.
Here are a beautiful pair of 1920's Carder era Steuben glass lampshades, made in Corning, NY. They feature a gold aurene interior with a calcite white exterior and trailed vine gold aurene decoration. They are not signed (calcite shades were almost always unsigned) but are guaranteed to be authentic Steuben. Condition is good with a few fitter rim flakes. These have a 2.25" standard fitter rim.

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.
We attribute this perfume bottle to mid-century Murano glass makers, although it is not marked.
The perfume bottle with its atomizer in place stands about 4" high. The heavy, frosted and molded glass has an outer crackle decoration. The atomizer ball is older and beginning to deteriorate, although you can squeeze the ball. (Atomizer parts are quite easy to replace).
This is a pretty and affordable addition to your vintage perfume bottle collection.
This pretty and perfect little perfume bottle has a round minimalist shape and a round stopper. It carries an original Val St. Lambert (Belgium) foil label with French text. The bottle is also engraved with a designer's name which appears to be Broffard, and the VSL name. There are matching engraved numerals on the stopper and bottle neck. It's the perfect gift!
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.

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 #GL263 (photo at left) is a pair of glass salad servers priced at $25 - an unusual gift for the depression glass collector.
Item #GL262 (two photos at right) 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.
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.
These sweet ball-shaped candlesticks are made of luscious deep red color glass with controlled bubble technique. They look great with a light shining through them and would look great holding lit candles.
They stand 2" high and are quite heavy to provide good stability. Both have partial Holmgaard Denmark paper labels on the bottom.
Chalet Glass was produced in Canada in the 1960's. It has iconic retro style and the signed pieces are much in demand for mid-century modern decor.
This beautiful trillium shaped ashtray is in tomato red and clear glass and is signed on the bottom Chalet Canada with an etched signature. It is very heavy and measures about 9" across. There is a tiny chip on one of the base feet, visible only if you look hard at the underside.
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 pretty posy vase dates from 1900 and has great Art Nouveau / Arts & Crafts style with the peacock feather decoration. The five trailing peacock feather decorations are applied to the clear glass form in green then a blue "eye" applied to each at the flared out rim. The bottoms of the trails end at the ground and polished pontil mark on the base of the vase.
The piece measures about 6.25" across at the flared rim and stands about 3" high.
Although unmarked, this is a well documented Harrach piece. It appears on page 67, top color plate, item 2 in the grouping, of Truitt's "Collectible Bohemian Glass 1880 - 1940".
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.
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.
From Fenton USA is this delightful vase molded with daffodils and signed on the base. The color is a soft lilac with very slight dichroic properties. The vase stands 7.5" high.
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.
Here is a large, gorgeous art glass perfume bottle made by Eickholt Studios, USA. It stands about 7" high and is heavy, being made in the paperweight technique, encompassing three flowers (millefiore technique) on either side of the bottle. The flowers are said to resemble undersea flowers. The bottle is signed and dated 2000.
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 a future collectible that will give you great excitement today. The volcano shaped vase is sturdy, attractive and useful. It is 6" high and 7" across the base. The red opaque glass with black band at the top and scattered millefiore will complement sophistocated modern and minimalist interiors.
The vase is signed Inferno 94, and is possibly American studio work.
Here is another contemporary art glass piece of mysterious beauty. We have had opinions that the bowl is enamelled metal. However, it is in fact 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.
Once again, we don't know who made the bowl, possibly Italian from the Murano region, or possibly US West Coast in origin.
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.
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).
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.
This pressed vaseline glass butter dish has a wavy edge on the bottom piece, and daisy and button pattern. We believe it dates from about 1880 and is American.
These tiny sweet open salt dishes were made in the 1880's by the Beatty Company in Ohio, USA. They still look fresh and modern!
The blue dish is item # GL239 and is priced at $ 25.
The set of three opalescent glass dishes are item # GL240 priced at $ 60 for the set of three.
Here 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.
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.
Available currently are small and large rose bowls, small plates with original labels, stemware and an Epic split vase.
We have three early pieces, all with piecrust edge cutting. The first is a Duncan Miller 10" three-toed fruit or salad bowl, page 78 in the Lemiski book - item GL194 priced at $ 75. The second piece is a marked Heisey 12" celery dish with corn flower cutting - item GL192 now SOLD. The last is a sugar and creamer set - item GL193 priced at $ 65. Pictures available on request.
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.
