For sale is a lovely piece of Art Glassmade by The Stevens and Williams Glass Company of Stourbridge, West Midlands England. It is also possible that this was made by Thomas Webb. The Item is a Sherbet Bowl and it is done in the ever popular Vaseline Opalescent Glass. The Bowl stands 2 3/8" tall and is approximately 5 3/4" in diameter. The Bowl displays a beautiful highly irregular heavily ruffled outer Border. The Opalescence surrounds the entire outer edge. This opalescence sits just below the outer edge and is approximately 1 1 /4" thick. The Base Glass is a Yellow Green when it is held to the light. The Glass has a very Vaseline textured feel to it when handled. The Bowl is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. The Bowl is unsigned but it does display a counter sunk polished Pontil. This is the sign of a quality piece of Art Glass. Vaseline Glass is highly collected today as it was extremely popular during the Victorian Era. I would say that this wonderful piece of Vaseline Glass was made circa 1880-1895.   « Less

The spelling of Studios with the letter "V" denotes this as an earlier piece. I will also be listing the "Blotter Ends (2), and Calendar/Picture Frame". These are in the same condition and Patina as the Inkwell. Please email me directly if you are interested in purchasing the remaining set. My email address is below. Tiffany started using a 3 digit number for his Fancy Desk Set goods after 1902 subsequently this piece was made early circa 1902-1905. This is a quality item in the Tiffany Desk Set Items.

For sale is a very nice piece of Art Pottery made by Hampshire Pottery of Keene, NH. The item is called a "Tankard" or "Mug". The Tankard is done in the much sought after Matte Green Glaze. The Tankard is a nice size as it stands 5 1/2" tall and is 5" in diameter from the outside Handle measurement. The Tankard has a wonderful Matt Cucumber Green Glaze. This Glaze was a trademark of Hampshire Pottery. The Tankard displays an embossed Holly Leaf and Berry pattern at the top of the Vessel. This Pattern surrounds the entire top of the Tankard. There is a wonderfully applied handle that appears to have reeded beads running vertically from the bottom to the top on each side of the Handle. The Handle has what looks like a Leaf on the flat exterior side when viewed closely. It also acts as a thumb rest when holding the Tankard. The piece is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks chips or dings. There is some crazing in the glaze and this really adds dimension to the Cucumber Green Texture. There is also a shadow of what appears to have been a paper label that was on the bottom of the piece. The piece is signed with Block Letter "JST & CO KEENE NH." Impressed Mark. This can clearly be seen. I believe this to be a very early mark prior to Cadmon Robertson's tenure with Hampshire. This would make this piece Circa 1891-1903. Hampshire Pottery was producing a Matt Green Glaze 7 Years ahead of Grueby. Grueby started producing matte green pottery in 1898. This is a not so commonly found item from Hampshire Pottery in Matt Green. This is an Excellent Example in both Form and Glaze. Those of you who are decorating in the Arts and Crafts, Mission style will surely welcome this beauty. It would look just outstanding on that Stickley Bookcase.   « Less
