For Sale I have a wonderful piece of Art Glass made by Wilhelm Kralik Sohn of Eleonorenhain Bohmen (Bohemia). This is now the modern day "Czech Republic". The Vase is in what we would call a Squat Form. It is a pleasing size as it stands 4 5/8" tall and is 5 3/4" in diameter. The Vase display a very nice Satin Green base glass with Red Applied Mottling throughout the lower half of the Vessel. It display a very nice iridescence as you can see hues of Fuchsia and Purples. The Green Base Glass is very Similar to Steuben's Verre de Soie (Glass of Silk). It feels like it to the touch and also appears very similar in appearance. The raised neck about the Shoulder give this piece that much needed added height. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The Top of the lip is polished as is typical of European Art Glass. This means it was blown from the top and the Cut from the Blowing pipe and Polished Smooth. This is why there is not a counter sunk Polished Pontil on the bottom. The piece is signed "CZECHOSLOVAKIA" in block letters along the bottom. The signature mark is in a straight line along the edge. This is a quality piece of Art Glass Rarely found. I search all of my reference Books and on-line and I could not find a similar example. This leads me to believe it is somewhat Rare and not so commonly found. This Vase will work well for those decorating in the Art Deco theme. This piece of Art Glass was made Circa, 1905-1920.   « Less

For sale I have a wonderful Victorian Art Glass Finger Bowl and Under Plate made by The Stevens & Williams Company of Stourbridge, West Midlands England. The Finger Bowl and Plate are done in the ever so popular Cranberry with Amber Machine Threaded Edges. The Two Pieces together stand 3" tall. The Finger bowl itself stands 2 5/8" tall and is 5" in diameter. The Plate Stands 1" tall and is 5 7/8" in diameter. The Finger Bowl and the Under Plate both have ruffled edges, eight to be exact. They both display a very lovely Cranberry background Glass with Machine Threaded edges in an Amber Glass. The Detail in the threading is just outstanding. It is so precise, yet graceful in form and execution. The Finger Bowl and Plate are considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, or chips. There is no loss to any of the threads on either the Bowl or the Plate. The only issue is a thread skip on the bottom starting thread on the Bowl and both pieces have tiny, tiny flea nicks to a only few threads. This can only be seen when held up to the light. This is fairly common as these were used items and they are extremely delicate. The two Pieces Have no signature mark but they both have a Polished Counter Sunk Pontil. This is the sign of quality Hand-blown Art Glass. When I first found this set several years ago I first thought they were Steuben. I quickly learned they were earlier and were made from the same Company in England that Frederick Carder immigrated from. It's possible he was there when these were made. Frederick Carder (1864-1963) Worked at Stevens & Williams 1881-1902 known for museum quality works in the Art Nouveau style. (Also founded Steuben Glass Works in Corning, New York in 1903) This is quality Art Glass from the Victorian Era and I'm positive the lucky winner will not be disappointed. These would enhance any Art Glass Collection even those who collect L.C. T. Favrile, Steuben Aurene, Durand, and Quezal. This Finger Bowl and Under Plate were made circa 1880-1895.   « Less

For Sale I have a Fabulous Vase made by The Alton Manufacturing Company of Sandwich, Mass. This Vase is know as a "Trevaise" and its pattern is done in one of the most sought after by Art Glass Collectors. The Pattern is called "Pulled Feathers" and it is simply Gorgeous!! I would call the shape a Swollen Shoulder Form. This is probably one of the nicest executed decorated Vases by Trevaise that I have ever owned. The Vase stands 6" tall and is 3 1/2" in diameter. The Vase has a very pleasing form and the Colors are spectacular. The two toned greens with Gold Feathering on top is simply Beautiful. When holding the Vase and turning the Iridescence is just outstanding. You can see beautiful Hues of Fuchsia, Purples, Gold's and Greens. The Feathering is pulled from the bottom to the top of the Vase. The Feathers are very wide at the bottom and as they are Pulled towards the top they compact and display the appearance of a Peacocks Feathering. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There is the usual Factory imperfections in the finish like Pock (Bubble, Inclusions) Marks around the piece. I am told this is very common with the Trevaise pieces. The Vase is not signed on the bottom but it does display that counter sunk polished Pontil. The is the mark of Quality Art Glass and typical of the American Art Glass Movement. Many of these vases have counterfeit L.C.T. Tiffany Favrile Signature Marks. I am very Happy to announce that this one does NOT. When I first bought this I though it was a Tiffany Vase but my expert Friend informed me differently. It is what it is and it carries its own established Value in the Art Glass world. The Alton Manufacturing Company produced an Art Glass Line called "Trevaise". This line was supervised by a former Tiffany Studios glassblower, James H. Grady. He was in charge of its production. Their Art Glass Productions was meant to look just like L.C.T. Tiffany Favrile and Quezal Art Glass. These Art Glass pieces resembled Tiffany and Quezal Glass both in form and Technique. Several of the Glass Blowers from Tiffany Studios and Quezal worked in this Studio producing extremely close copies of Favrile Glass. The Company was only in business for 1 year, 1907-1908 and it didn't prove profitable. Trevaise Vases are much Rarer than Tiffany and are considered not to be equal in Value. If this was a real Tiffany Vase it would probably sell for $5000-$6000. Of course, this is much less than a Tiffany Vase of similar form and Decoration. Here is your chance to own a very Rare piece of Art Glass made for 1 year and 1 year only. I'm sure the Buyer will not be disappointed!! Truly an Investment piece and will look great on that Stickley, Arts and Crafts, mission style Bookcase.   « Less

This Bowl would make a lovely addition to any Carnival Glass Collection as well as to compliment a Verre de Soie Collection.   « Less

Dugan closed its doors in 1913 and became the Diamond Glass Company that same year. Diamond Glass Company showed this pattern in their ads as shape number 1030.
