# 5158. An early 20th century Secession metal mounted art glass vase. Size: 13" tall and 8.5" across (outside metal dimensions). Condition: no losses to the metalwork; there are tiny edge flakes to the upper rim. There is no pontil on the underside. Some wear to the glass bottom edge and some wear to the upper ring as it surrounds the glass neck. Presumed to be Josef Rindskopf and Sons. A similar form is without metal mounting is pictured on page 8 of Volume 1 # 3 of the Czechoslovakian Collectors Guild International. As described: " Item . . . 6 is possibly Peacock Glass". Price: $1,750.00.
# 5096. A large Art Glass Vase. Unmarked. Papillon decor. Attributed to Loetz - Lotz - Klostermuhle Bohemia. Circa 1897. Size approximately 18" tall. This vase came in more than one size with this example being the largest known. The color of the surface is green / blue; a very mottled surface refracts the light. The brighter the light, the more green the appearance. Condition: excellent. P.O.R.
# 5014. A pair of Aesthetic Victorian art glass cream and sugar. Manufactured by Consolidated Glass. It is called shell and seaweed pattern. The glass appears deep rose color at the top fading to a pale pink at the base. The form is a shell and coral like decoration in blown relief with enamel painted flower and stem decorations. The metal work is silver plated consistent with production by any number of Conn. silver companies of the 19th century. The interior of the glass is consistently white implying that the glass is cased. Condition: the metal is worn of most of the silver. The enamel paint decoration appears intact. There are no losses to the metal or cracks or chips to the glass. The shell and coral decoration is very much in blown out relief. There are minor paint losses and scuffing consistent with use and age. I would dates this set around 1885. Price: $450.00 the pair.
Item # 4814. A Bohemian Art Glass Secession era Vase. The style and cut of this vase is consistent with works produced by the Moser firm between 1925 1935. Size: bottom diameter - 3"; 7.25" tall; 8.25" to opening diameter; the cut glass is 1/2" thick. Condition: tiny flea bits on the flat bottom and scratches and roughness on the flat bottom consistent with use and age. This is a very heavy cut glass bowl with a great color. There are 12 cut glass sides around the bowl and 6 cut glass separations vertically up the side of the bowl. Price: $450.00.
# 4063 is the detail of a Tiffany (att.) leaded window. Size: 8" wide and 38" tall. This is a fragment that was probably part of a hall window light. There is a continous design of flowers, leaves and vines intertwined with blue ribbon set against an opalescent background. Two of the opalescent panes have been replaces and there are several fractures in the larger panes. All in all, it is a nice Aesthetic design for Tiffany and dates from between 1885 and 1890. The window does detail a complete statement of design with the colored glass ending at the top and bottom with borders of opalescent glass framing the entirity. P.O.R.
Item # 4667. A set of four candle sleaves probably made for a gas table lamp or gas chandelier or gas wall sonces. The fixture in any event would have been a high style Art Nouvea design. Probably Palme Koenig but possibly Loetz. c. 1900. Each is different but the sizes are the same: 6.5" tall, 3/4" out side dimension with 5/8" iniside dimension. Condition: fleck to one of the candles; tiny roughage on tops and bottoms. Price $1,250.00 the set.
# 4802. A 'cartoon' of a stained glass window. Titled: "Freedom Window - War Memorial Shrine" "Washington Cathedral - Washington D.C. Designed and made by Messrs. Reynolds, Francis & Rohnstock - Studio at one Washington St. Boston". Size: 11" x 21" (on board). This pen and ink rendering of the Freedom Window is presumed from the actual studio workshop of Reynolds, Francis and Rohnstock. Condition: pencil notations (numbers) beside each segment; scuffs to the surface consistent with workshop usage; original simple frame and glass. The window was begun in early 1950 and installed in 1952 in the War Memorial Chapel of the Washington Cathedral. The window represents the message of freedom and depicts some of those who dedicated their lives to the cause of freedom. Noted are Moses, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther, Paul Revere and George Washington. Pictured also are the Purple Heart and American Legion of Honor and other American high military medals. Joseph G. Reynolds was born in Wickford, Rhode Island, April 9, 1886. He studied at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence Rhode Island. He was a master in his field (stained glass) and exhibited in numerous expositions in the U.S. and abroad. His works are in: Princeton Chapel, churches in Pittsburgh, Glens Falls, Mercersburg, Paris, Belleau, Winston-Salem, Litchfield, Laconia, Hudson Falls, Newport, Washington, D.C., etc.,etc. This is an attractive collectible piece of Americana. Price: $2,500.00.
Shade 5. Offering an unusual Quilted Amberina Style Glass Ball shade. Suitable for a column, moderator or carcel lamp. Size: 7" tall; 7" diameter; fitter opening 2 1/4". Condition: edge flakes to the fitter opening and I suspect that there were fitter rings at the top and bottom of the shade and those are missing. Colors are range from a deep ruby to a very pale pink. Don't know where or who made this shade. Believe it to be period, sometime in the late 19th century. Joseph Locke of the New England Glass Company developed Amberina and it was registered by W.L. Libbey. If this is Amberina, it is a pretty rare shade. Price: $300.00.
Item # 4551. Believed to be a Sandwich Glass Chalice. c. 1845-55. Size: 9.5" tall. 4 7/8" footprint, 4.25" opening. Condition: as noted a tiny flea bite on one of the leaves in the cup section. Also there is a tiny flea bite on the footed rim. The leaves, vines and grapes are wheel cut into the glass. Color red to cranberry: somewhere in between. Perhpaps used in a low protestant church. Flashed Bohemian style glass.You can feel the veining in the leaves. From a private home on Cape Cod, MA. Price: $750.00.
Item Number 4147a. A vase: att. to Pairpoint. layered glass: white on the inside and pale blue on the outside; quilted design. Applied leaf, fruit and handle. Condition: pictures note condition: edge rim flake; possible edge flake to two of the leaf extremeties. Size: 7.25" tall. From a New Bedford Mass Estate. Price: $225.00.
# 3959. I believe that this particular American Art Glass vase is Durand made by the Vineland Flint Glass Works of Vineland, New Jersey. Unsigned. Similiar works by Tiffany, Steuben and Quezal. This item is shown in DURAND THE MAN AND HIS GLASS by Meschi on page 72. He identifies it as a Syrup dispenser which would account fot the short collar at the top where the metal cap would go. White glass inside, gold (variously shaded with satin and glossy finished and a favrile ness to the surface. No pontil but a slightly recessed coin size area to the center of the underside of the vase. Footprint: 5.5"; top opening: 3.5"; 11" tall. Condition: tiny, tiny flakes to the rim. Tiny Surfaces scratches consistent with age and cleaning.I suspect that this was a base to a lamp and a cap covered the top. The entire surface of this vase has a satin finish with the exception of a one inch band at the base of the vase: that area is glossy. Price: $495.00.
# 3713. Bohemian "Spa" glass, mid 19th century. Red flash against clear. Worn gilt bands at the lip. 4-3/4" tall. $450.00
