OLD COBALT BLUE SWIRL RIDGED AKRO AGATE GEAR SHIFTER This lovely rich cobalt blue swirl akro agate or slag glass marble gear shift knob was purchased over 20 years ago in West Virginia. It measures a tad shy of 2" in diameter with an opening for a fitting of nearly 7/8" across. While the other ones are all rounded, this one is more cushion shaped and it has ridges around the center that make it special from all that I've seen. The shifter has some factory imperfections which are to be expected. I would rate it as in excellent condition.

I believe it was manufactured by the Houze Glass Company in Pennsylvania, which closed down permanently about 3 yrs ago. This is an authentic art deco era slag glass style shifter that was never used. Thousands of these were uncovered at the time and all were new-old stock. I saved a few of my favorites and for the first time ever, decided to offer them for sale online.
 

UNUSUAL VINTAGE SET 4 GLASS RED HOLDERS w GREEN BASES Ok, I admit it...I have no idea what these are and where they came from. If you know, please feel free to share the information with me.

Here's what I DO know...there are 4 matching sets, each set comprised of a swirly green glass ruffled base and a swirly tomato red glass cup or holder of some sort which fits into it. They are at least 30 or 40 years old, but I am uncertain of their exact age.

Each little cup and saucer (or whatever they're called) has a 5" diameter base, and is about 3" tall. The glass has an art glass quality to it and they are quite lovely.

The pieces, to me, look as if they are supposed to depict a fruit or vegetable like a tomato sitting on a leaf like object.

The set is in very good condition, with a couple little nicks on the bottom edge that may have actually beeb there since their original manufacture.


 

RARE SIGNED 20s ART DECO CZECH END of the DAY FAN VASE This is a RARE RARE RARE art glass fan shaped Czechoslovakian vase that has been in my private collection for about 20 yrs. Never before offered for sale online, the circa 1920s (estimated date) authentic art deco era flared shaped vase measures approximately 8" tall, 8" at its widest point, 1 7/8" wide at the top and 3.5" in diameter at the base.

Stunning is an understatement in describing the striking mottled art glass pattern in hues of black, yellow, orange, and red. It's like a pyschedelic acid trip of polka dots and one of the most special pieces I've ever had of this genre. At the base is the signature "MADE IN CZECHOSLAVAKIA" acid etched onto the bottom. I'm not a glass expert, but I've heard some refer to glass like this also as some sort of "case glass" or "CASED GLASS", but I believe "end-of-the-day" may be more accurate.

Authentic and absolutely wonderful in every way, this vase has a delightful ruffled or wavy lip that has a black border and a nice stable round base. It is MINT...EXCELLENT...no damage or repair, no cracks, nicks, or imperfections. it is top of the line in every way with some natural variations as would be expected in a one-of-a-kind piece of art such as this. A must for any serious collector, I've checked online and have yet to see another Czech piece that rivals this one!
 

ELEGANT ART DECO HAND ETCHED CREAMER AND SUGAR SET Lovely creamer and sugar set from a local estate of collectible and antique pottery glasware. Each piece measures about 6" tall. The sugar has a 4 1/4" diater rim; the creamer measures 4" at its widest point.

The glass in unmarked but has some nice lines, indicative of the art deco and depression era. The bases are squares that sit on a diagonal and they appear to be pressed with hand etched flowers sections that repeat on both pieces, each front and back.

In excellent condition, the pieces are free of damage or repair and ready to display or use. The only wear is the desired scratches on the bottom to show its age. If anyone knows of a pattern name, please let me know.

Very pretty clear glass depression era two part flower frog. Little art deco styled handles and nice flared design in the glass. Apprx 7 1/4" at the widest points at the handles, about 3" tall, round flower holder insert fits nicely into the base.

Good condition, though upon close scrutiny, there is either a manufacturer's defect or a crack along the center of the frog insert. Honestly, I only just now noticed this and it's been displayed in my home for years. It doesn't span the entire width of the frog and doesn't affect its function or its overall look.

Priced to reflect this apology. If perfect, this would be at least double my price.
