Antique Cut Crystal Body & Gilt Metal Wing Swan Dish This is an extremely lovely cut crystal body swan has ornate metal head, neck & movable wings. The item is in mint condition with the exception of areas on the gilt metal portions. This does not distract from the beauty of the piece as the head, neck & wings are very ornate, heavily detailed feathers & a rose on each wing, blending into the wing feathers.

The wings swing open & closed, serving as a cover for the heavily cut crystal swan body. The crystal is in mint condition, probably due to the fact it had a heavy pink velvet piece glued to the base which protected the cut crystal base.

It has been many years since I've seen one anywhere near this lovely & in such good condition. The last one I saw was stated to be French. It measures 6 1/2" long & 6" tall. It would make an excellent vanity item for the lady, a conversation piece in your living room or to add to your glass collection. Thank you for visiting The Treasure Chest. (Item ID:KK-07)

The ruffled edge is golden in color from the high uranium added.. It is a very high grade crystal & rings at the slightest touch.

The bowl measures 8 1/2" at it's widest, is 5 inches wide & 4 1/4 inches tall. The bottom is finished as only the finest pieces are, with polished pontil & polished areas on the melon shaped base.

Antique Glass Jade Green Dolphin Candlestick This is a rare jade green antique dolphin candlestick, in very good condition - a great beauty. It is one of a few of this type made in one section instead of being built of parts, as are other types.

This style of dolphin candlestick was used by Ruth Webb Lee, on page 133, plate 64, in her book: Antique Fakes & Reproductions, to illustrate the genuine article. It is also illustrated as Item #67, page 388, & discussed pages 384 & 385 in very excellent book: American Glass by the McKearins which indicates an approximate date of 1850.

The candlestick measures 10 3/4" tall & about 3 3/4" square at the base. This style is known as the "double square base" & often made in one section.

There are minor flakes at the base as is expected in an item 150 years old. The scales are softly contoured as opposed to more recent reproductions.

It has a high uranium salt content, illustrated by use of a black light in one of my photos. This type of candlestick came in many colors, one of the rarest is this translucent deep jade-green. Fragments found at Sandwich Glass Co. suggest this might be used to identify it. As an interesting sidelight, I had a complete appraisal of my collection done by a reputable professional who thought it's condition was too good to be that old; however, a Sothebys buyer visiting her shop supported my identification.

There are no cracks, or chips as found in many of these candlesticks. There are only minor base flakes as can be expected in something of this age.

This is a wonderful item for any glass collector. Thank you for visiting The Treasure Chest. (Item ID:S-23) Add to Shopping Bag

Antique Set of 6 Pressed Glass Cup Plates - Roman Rosette Pattern This set of six antique pattern glass cup plate are in the Roman Rosette pattern found in the Lee & Rose book on cup plates which is considered the "bible" of cup plates.

The assigned number is #255 & the plates are concave. They are attributed to the Sandwich Glass Co.

These are of "lead crystal" rather than the soda glass found in some cup plates. Hold the plate in your palm & you get the crystal ring when you flick it with your fingernail.

They are in very good condition with the somewhat uneven edges found normally during the extracting of these small items from their molds in the mid-1800's. Two of the little plates have a flake near the edge which may or may not be from the process. Thank you for shopping The Treasure Chest. (Item ID:BB-07)
