Glass - Victorian - Era Glass - Amberina at VICTORIAN GLASS PLUS!

EAPG (Early American Pattern/Pressed Glass) is my passion. I study & collect EAPG. Sometimes an interesting Depression or foreign glass piece will catch my eye; some items in other materials such as silver, pewter, or pottery can appear here too...thus the "plus." The Victorian period is so fascinating, & in many ways mirrors our lives today.

I rotate pieces as I grow in knowledge or if I think you'd appreciate them more than me. And since this wonder of superheated sand (glass) continues to take over my “space,” I’ve always got some to offer: why not finish off your authentic decor with period glassware? Feel free to ask questions or inquire about wanted items which might not be listed.

Be sure to check back for new additions & an occasional “Rarest of the Rare” in EAPG. Some of these pieces have been documented, but are so uncommon that they’ve rarely or never been photographed for publication!

Everything is clean with meticulous descriptions of condition, & I package well. See ebay feedback for ger55.

Thanks,
Ger

290

Pressed: Amberina Daisy & Button plate *Mint condition square plate in the Daisy and Button pattern; amberina colored with warm amber center and deep ruby edges. 5 ½" square, plate has a flinty ring when tapped. Though this pattern and color dates back to Victorian era, with Hobbs being one of the earlier makers, I am unable to date this plate accurately. L.G.Wright is known to have made a similar color and plate. However, I can say that it is heavy, quite lovely and in superior condition.

EAPG: Rev Amberina quilted decanter polished pontil c 1880’s Normally amberina glass is red at the ends (top, handles) where fire-polishing or reheating is most likely, with the rest being a yellow to warm amber color. This decanter is reversed: the red is at the bottom. Although I could not pin down a manufacturer, the blown into mold diamond quilted design, with a polished pontil, places the decanter in the 1880’s period. (Amberina itself was patented in 1883 by Jos. Locke, who assigned it to Libbey). The reverse color was obtained by flashing a layer of red glass over amber, avoiding the need for heat color sensitivity as was required for amberina. Height of the bottle is 9 ½"; height with the stopper is 12". Stopper fits well, but does not seem appropriate in color to the design. It is, however, as I obtained it! There are no chips or cracks, but light scratches of the red area are noted, as well as many small gray stains inside the bottle. (Color is truest in the pattern close-up photo).
