Wishbone and Drapery plate in an electrifying blue opalescent glass produced by Jefferson glass circa 1904. It has a wonderful beaded pattern that continues to the center of the plate and is approximately 8.25 inches in diameter, 1.50 inches tall and in good used condition with slight utensil markings you can see in bright reflective light and table wear to the bottom foot where it meets the table, but you will not find any nicks, chips or cracks. This piece does have a very unique manufacturer’s defect of smoke trapped inside the glass as the picture shows. But the glass is still very shiny and reflective and displays well as you can see in the pictures.  Probably was a beer bottle. This brown bottle is 11" tall.  It does have a chip on the bottom (see picture), but is not noticeable when standing.  Otherwise in excellent condition.  Japanese Chokin Trinket Box measures 3 3/4" in diameter and 1 3/3" tall.

Marvin Middlemark (Born September 16, 1919 – Died September 1989) invented the Rabbit Ears television Antenna (Dipole antenna) in 1956 in Rego Park, Queens, New York. He revolutionized how television was watched in the United States, as his Rabbit Ears increased the television signal reception made available to the mass market, this move is considered by many as the single most important reason for the television boom of the late 1950’s – 1960’s. In used condition, the connector wire is frayed, the base of the antenna is off and a small disc is broken which I have shown in my pictures but the front dial with 6 numbers is readable. Made of cast metal and bakelite they measure 17 inches tall, 3 1/4 inches wide and 4 3/4 inches deep. An addition to any Vintage Television ot Antenna Collection.

Karl Springer (1930 – 1991) German born, French educated New York City based Springer is known for his lavish interpretations of Art Deco lines and the use of exotic skins and materials. His style encompassed the gamut from French Art Deco, to Asian and African motifs. His proficiency in materials is second only to his prolific designs, often customized for each client. Karl Springer is synonymous with quality, encouraging his workshop to strive for excellence rather than quick turnaround. His designs were executed in wood, metal, lacquer and lucite, with many of his most recognizable pieces covered in leather, parchment, shagreen, horn or reptile skins. The outstanding quality of his furniture has lead to a strong secondary resale market for Springer's designs with all major auction houses and 20th century dealers now offering his work.

Porcelain Shoe on Thimble, about 1 1/2" high. New porcelain miniature figurine.  Porcelain Shoe on Thimble, about 1 1/2" high. New porcelain miniature figurine.  Dugan / Diamond produced this beautiful Diamond Maple Leaf Blue Opalescent two handled Bon Bon dish circa 1909. This beautiful hard to find bon bon has a wonderful design that has flowing scroll designs around realistic looking maple leaves. It is approximately 7.50 inches long and 5.00 inches wide not counting the handles and is 3.00 inches at the tallest point. There is tableware to the bottom but no nicks, chips or cracks. You will find some manufacturer defects common to the time such as a couple of small inclusion bubbles, two very small tool marks from shaping the glass. Also if you hold this up to a direct bright light you will see some spotting, we are not sure if it is the opalescent treatment or slight sickness. Usually sick glass is a constant big spot, and can be seen without direct light and on a dark background, so we are leaning to the opalescent treatment. We only mention this because if we were purchasing the piece we would want to know before we purchase the item.  Miniature Enamel Metal Box, about 7/8" high x 7/8" across. New item.

Marker 10 1/2, (my size) A very rare & museum quality, pair of Iver Johnson roller skates. Patented 6/5/1877, made in 1884. These have wooden wheels, pivoting front & rear wheels, & in amazing original condition. These appear to be a more sophisticated version of the 1863 Plimpton design. (last picture) From the first recorded use of roller skates on a London stage in 1743 through the next 120 years, all roller skates were in-line skates. However, the design of these in-line skates did not allow the skater to turn or stop efficiently. James L. Plimpton, frustrated by the roller skates available, invented a new type of roller skate that would revolutionize the sport. In January 1863, Plimpton patented a four-wheeled roller skate that was capable of turning. The mechanism had a pivoting action dampened by a rubber cushion which permitted the roller skater to curve by leaning in the desired direction of travel. Plimpton built a roller skating floor in the office of his New York City furniture business and leased out his skates. He founded the New York Roller Skating Association (NYRSA) to promote the sport. In the summer of 1866, the NYRSA leased the fashionable resort hotel, the Atlantic House, in Newport, Rhode Island, and converted the dining room into a skating area. This was the first roller skating rink open to the public in the United States.  Wonderful wooden shoe with the windmill on the top of the shoe.  Can tell it was hand carved by the marks on the inside of the shoe.  Shoe is 7 1/2" long and in excellent condition.

THIS IS A GREAT, UNUSUAL PIECE TO FIND.  A delicate Nippon porcelain handpainted dresser or vanity set consisting of a tri-footed hair receiver and a lidded powder jar. The handpainting has gold beading and individually painted roses and leaves, exquisite work. This set has been used and loved. While there are no chips, cracks or other flaws, the constant use has rubbed a bit of the gold off as seen in the photos. Not enough to mar the beauty of this set, just enough to show its antiquity. The mark shown is the Komaru symbol. It is shown in black and white because of photograpy difficulties. It is actually blue on the white porcelain. The symbol is said to be taken from the Japanese character "Komaru", meaning "overcoming difficulties". The words hand painted over the symbol and below is Nippon. This is a very early mark, possibly from 1910. The mark was used by a forerunner of Noritake.

FLORENCIO GELABERT CUBAN ARTIST DIPLOMA

 

FLORENCIO GELABERT CUBAN ABSTRACT EXPRSN

11.25 x 9" Mid 1980's (Feast of love period) erotic pastel nude. Comes with certificate of authenticity, good condition, 7 tiny insect holes -1mm, slight diagonal wrinkle top half. All problems easily restoratable. Galleria Frozen Beauty is pleased to present two beautiful works on paper by Cuban artist Mariano Rodriguez. (See other listing) "Mariano" was born in Havana in 1912. Since boyhood, he was interested in drawing and painting. In 1936 he went to Mexico where he studied for a year and a half with the muralists Manuel Rodriguez Lozano and Pablo O’Higgins. When he returned to Cuba his technique bore a close resemblance to that of the modern Mexican masters. In 1938 his painting "UNIDAD" received top honors at the National Exhibit of Painting and Sculpture in Havana. Mariano is part of that generation of Cuban artists who felt the urgency to break with the influences of the Academics. Constantly and tirelessly in search of a vehicle by which to express his personality in the context of a truly "Cuban" expression, in 1941 he started to elaborate on his theme of the roosters. In the early 40’s he was influenced by the great European masters, especially Picasso and Matisse; in 1967 he started his series of "Fruit and Reality"; in 1980 he began the series of the "Masses", and in the mid eighties, the final "Feast of Love". Through it all he faithfully continued to strive for essentially "Cuban" elements, the most consistent of which was the virility of the rooster, master of the domestic patio: in every one of his phases Mariano painted a rooster. His work is owned, among others, by the following museums: Guayaquil University, Ecuador; Cali, Colombia; Mexico City; Havana; Managua, Nicaragua; San Francisco; MOMA New York; Kansas City; Caracas; Buenos Aires, Argentina; the Chicago Art Institute; and UNESCO, Paris.  BELL TELEPHONE GREEN CROSS SAFETY COMMITTEE COPPER SERVICE PIN 5/8" <p>Look at the AWSUM detail and condition, on this vintage 5/8" Copper Service Pin, made for the Bell Telephone Safety Committee. It features a green cross in the center of the bell logo. It is in excellent condition. This will make a great addition to any Bell or Service Pin collection.  This is an unusual set. It is a creamer and sugar made of a white metal. Could be silver plate but it is not marked. The interior is white enamel. Some has come off the creamer. It is a heavy embossed rose pattern. Looks very Victorian to me. Both are 2 3/4" tall. Creamer is 4 3/8" long and sugar is 4 3/4" long.  Two Miniature Canadian Souvenir Plates. Niagara Falls by Liverpool Road Pottery, 5" across. Other 4" across, Japan. Both in excellent condition.
