It is a fairly common piece and a simple Noritake design which maximizes the abstract and stylized chevron design created by simple black lines on a slight cream color background.

It is signed with the green wreath mark putting it in the transtition period between older Nippon and the 1925-1931 red wreath mark period. It is in very good vintage condition.  It is shown in both the Van Patten and Spain book.

 Ming's 14k 4 Seasons with Greek Key bangle.  Width is 14mm and 2.5" in diameter and weighs 29.4gm.


All proper hallmarks are present on the piece.  The Noritake Company produced and exported thousands of items in hundreds of designs to the United State between 1921-1935.  They had a design office in New York City where current design sources would be used to send ideas to Japan for the Noritake decorators to use.  One of the most highly collected periods of Noritake production is from the 1921 - 1935 Art Deco period. 


They are renowed worldwide for their dinnerware but had a whole division focused on what was then called "fancyware", items for household consumption decorated artistically.  Though very reasonable in price when first sold, they are now collected by both collectors in the Western world as well as in Japan.


This octagonal bowl measures 7 1/4 inches in diameter.  It stands 2 inches tall at the handle. It has two tab handles and one can see that the mold from which it came had some in relief scrolls at the rim.  The entire rim of the bowl is decorated in 24 K gold.  The three large clusters of flowers are placed asymmetrically on the plate, a revolutionary idea at the time.  Another Art Deco common feature was the stylization of nature. The flowers and leaves are NOT painted in a realistic manner but are abstract and stylized.  


Another Art Deco common feature was the use of what are called speed lines, which featured three lines in the bands which contrast from the geometric nature of the plate shape. 


Noritake is well known for its luster glazes, the most common of which is tan luster. Their less common luster glazes are gold, silver, green, pearl, and yellow luster (also spelled lustre sometimes).


This bowl has only tan luster on it but it uses scarce colors of orange and crimson in the paint. It is in very good vintage condition with some very slight wear in the center but no loss of luster. The green Noritake Wreath mark indicates production between 1921-1925. Later the mark was in red.

Standing 3 3/4 inches tall x 4 3/4 inches wide at the base, this stunning piece of Vermont studio pottery was designed and made by Sally Duval, a longtime Vermont studio potters.  This 6 hole toothbrush potter has an underglaze of bluish gray, then two overglazes, one of a cream yellow color and the other a chocolate brown glaze.

 Produced by the Morgantown Glass Company  in the period when they were known as the Morgantown Glass Guild which started in 1933, this is the 2 7/8 inch tall  6 oz. footed sherbet  in the Peacock Blue color.  This line in transparant colors started in the 1950s.


By 1958, it had been renamed the Decor line, which was the brainchild of J. Richard Haden who along with his brother Samuel K. took over the business from their father Joseph Haden.  In 1958, the first Decor by Morgantown" catalog was published.


However, when the Carbone Company of Boston, one of the major national Importers assumed the line as their own in the early  Sixties, the line became known as Crinkle. This line can be seen and is well presented on pages 214-215 of Jerry Gallagher's Handbook of Old Morgantown Glass (1995).


This sherbet is in the Peacock Blue color, one of the harder colors to find in this line.  It is in excellent condition and ready to join your Mid-century home as you serve lemonade or iced tea on the veranda or patio (such great mid century terms).

 Produced by the Bryce Glass Company,  this is a pair of 3 1/2 inch tall  7 oz. flat juice glasses  in the Aqua Blue color.  


Not much is known about Bryce's El Rancho production. It was made around the same time as Crinkle, Driftwood, and Lido, and is often confused with them.


This pair of 7 oz flat juice glasses is in the Aqua Blue color, one of the harder colors to find in this line.  They are in excellent condition and ready to join your Mid-century home as you serve lemonade or iced tea on the veranda or patio (such great mid century terms).

 This is a striking Bitossi Italy Rosenthal-Netter large vase designed by Aldo Londi in 1974. The vase stands 10 inches tall x 7 1/2 inches wide at its widest point and a circumference of 23 inches. This vase is part of the Rosenthal-Netter line of imported Italian pottery and ceramics.


The pattern on this Aldo Londi creation is called Moderna Marocco which is the Italian word for Modern Morrocan. According to Mark Hall in his recent book on Italian Mid-century pottery, this line was inspired by the blossoming studio pottery movement of the 1970s. As Hill states, high quality designs such as this took longer to apply and were more expensive, making them rare today. Unusually, this design does not include sgraffito or impressed elements.


Excellent condition. When tapped, it rings solidly.  Original Rosenthal-Netter paper label with the words Made in Italy stamped on one side and the numbers 266/2.  I have two other pieces from this line with labels. All have the line number of 266/. I have to conclude that the 2 is the shape number and the 266 is the number for Moderna Marocco.


In the Mark Hill book, the 10 inch version of this rare vase on page 72 is valued at 300-500 pounds. My price is a bit more reasonable.

This studio glass artist has put out a limited amount of work over the past 36 years. He uses NO MOLDS and his only help has been his wife Donna who was responsible for all the finish work on the pieces. I had an email from Terry and Donna a few years ago stating that he doesn't think it would be fair to the collectors to make any of the same things again. They have decided, if they do make glass again, they are not going to make anything that they have made in the past. He made glass part time from 1988-2000. 


In 2005, he began again to produce a limited amount of glass. He's a great artist with VERY few early pieces out there. This toothpick is in mint condition and is signed Crider 1978. 


This Crider pale white opal base glass features an early vertical pulled lines decoration. The pulled lines are in a lavender purple glass which is also used to case the interior of the piece . It is totally iridized. It's hard to imagine the amount of work that went into this beautiful, hand made toothpick holder.


This little toothpick holder stands about 2 1/2 to 2 3/4  inches high at its highest point. It is a fantastic piece of American art glass! It is in perfect condition. It is signed Crider 1978.

From the Martelé line, this 4 inch tall x 8 1/4 inch long x 3 5/8 inches wide Olives vase made by the Consolidated Glass Company of Coraopolis PA is an example of the Reuben line.  It is decorated with a very light blue ceramic wash, highlighting the frosted glass olives, vines, and leaves.  In 1933, while Consolidated was closed due to union difficulties (April 2, 1932 - March 1936), Kenneth Haley moved many of the molds belonging to his famous father Reuben Haley over to the Phoenix Glass Company where Kenneth worked.  There, he produced glass from these molds and used finishes of the Phoenix Glass Company instead of the finishing techniques of the Consolidated Glass Company. These were part of a line he called the Reuben Line in honor of his father who died in 1933.  The Reuben line carries its own paper label:  a yellow paper oval with the words Phoenix and REUBEN-LINE at the bottom of the label.


This vase is very heavy, a substantial piece of glass. It is in excellent condition with regards to its staining and color. However, there is a 1/4 inch flake on one side of the top rim (see photo) . 


It is great American Art Deco art glass. Add it to your Art Deco or Consolidated glass collection today.


Come learn more about this glass at the Phoenix & Consolidated Glass Collectors Club website: www.pcgcc.org  Here is a whimsical modern stoneware piece from the late David Gil at Bennington Potters in Vermont. started by David Gil in 1948. It is from 1962-1964 period when Gil included only the words Bennington Potters and used the asterisk with the shape number alone.


This oblong Bennington Potters #1653 Fighting Cock plaque / trivet measures 11 1/2 inches long x  6 inches across. It was advertised in the 1964 catalogue as 1563, a trivet which could also be hung on the wall as a plaque as it had a built-in wire on the back. This piece is shown in the 1964 catalogue as and is titled there Fighting Cock. It came in a few color variations, this being the hardest to find with the back and feet a cream color and the body orange with cobalt blue feathers and face. The blue variation is harder to find than the green one.


Its original 1964 price was $4.00. I recently learned that all the oblong tiles were designed by Gloria Gil, David's first wife with whom he started the company in 1948.


Bennington Potters are among the few American studio potteries that turned into production potteries in the midcentury. It evolved from a co-operative into a full-blown pottery. 


After 1960, they made their bread and butter by making gorgeous modern styled dinnerware that was distributed throughout the US and sold in fine department stores.


After 1960, they made their bread and butter by making gorgeous modern styled dinnerware that was distributed throughout the US and sold in fine department stores. In their 1964 catalogue, Gil described their creations as "Art Objects in the Practical Realm" - Museum Honored, Hand-crafted, Modestly Priced,"  Made by well-known Californian glass artist David Salazar, this contemporary art glass toothpick holder is one of the few David made that is based on the 2009 NTHCS Convention holder. David Salazar got his start with the Zephyr Studios  before working at Lundberg Glass Studios in the early 1970s and went out on his own around 1983. He is particularly well known for his Moon & Star pattern as well as his paperweights and marbles. This example is signed and dated 7-10 Salazar.


This toothpick holder stands 2 3/8 inches tall and is 1 3/16 inches across the top rim.  The base glass is clear but it has been sprayed with mineral salts in the tradition of Art Nouveau Tiffany or Steuben glass.  The resulting surface has overtones of purple, blue, rose and gold. The design of swirls is known as the King Tut pattern.  It is in excellent condition.  A great example of great glass by a great contemporary glass artist.

Lucille Cantini was the wife of Virgil Cantini and an enamelist in her own right. 


From Wikipedia:  


Virgil David Cantini (1919 -2009) was an enamelist, sculptor and  educator. He was well known for innovation with enamel and steel and received both local and national recognition for his work, including honorary awards, competitive prizes and commissions, along with a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1957. Cantini long served as a faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh where he helped to create the Department of Studio Arts. A longtime resident of the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Cantini died on May 2, 2009 at the age of 90. Today, many of his large scale works on display throughout the city of Pittsburgh.


Beginning in 1948, Cantini’s artwork gained national exposure when his enamel Masquerade was juried at the 13th National Ceramic Exhibition in Syracuse, New York. In 1953 he was named one of the Hundred Leaders of Tomorrow by Time Magazine. In 1956, the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts named Cantini the region’s Artist of the Year. By 1959, Cantini was considered among the most prominent contemporary enamelists, with his work included regularly in New York’s Museum of Contemporary Crafts exhibitions.


This low dish or bowl measures 4  1/8 inch across and stands 1 inch tall.  It depicts an abstract stylized Christmas tree with a glowing star at the top.  Orange, red, cobalt blue and chatreuse ornaments are on the tree.  It is counter-enameled in a typical chartreuse color that Virgil Cantini also often used.  It is inscribed Christmas 1979 and L. Cantini.

This amberina art glass footed toothpick holder stands  2 15/16 inches tall.  It has what is known as a Lazy Amberina portion wherein the division between the amber glass and the heat-sensitive red glass is not delineated neatly but flows further down on one side than the other.


The color is a deeper brownish amber than what Phoenix Glass company produced. As well, the foot does not have the continuation of the optic pattern of the body.  


It is my best guess that this piece is of European origin, most likely English or French.


In any case, it is a beautiful piece of Victorian art glass. The holder is in excellent condition with no chip, flakes, or cracks. There are some small bubbles in the glass body but it was manufactured that way.

Terry Crider started his glasswork in 1976. He is self taught. This studio glass artist has put out a limited amount of work over the past 36 years. He uses NO MOLDS and his only help has been his wife Donna. I had email from Terry and Donna stating that he doesn't think it would be fair to the collectors to make any of the same things again. They have decided, if they do make glass again, they are not going to make anything that they have made in the past. He stopped blowing glass around 1990 and didn't start blowing again until 1999. This toothpick is in mint condition and is signed with Crider on the bottom and the year 1986.


This Crider toothpick holder is hand blown glass - it features his King Tut decoration on an dark emerald green base glass AND the hand-threaded glass work done by Donna Crider.  The dark green of the base glass makes the iridized surface really stand out. Terry Crider himself indicated to me in an e-mail that he made fewer than 20 examples of this particular shade of green! 


 It's hard to imagine the amount of work that went into this beautiful, hand made toothpick holder. 


This little toothpick holder stands about 2 inches high at its highest point and 2 1/2 inches wide at top. It is a fantastic piece of art glass!

Mats Jonasson Målerås is Sweden’s largest privately owned glassworks. Today it primarily produces art glass and decorative glass, which mainly is cut, painted and engraved.  However, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Jonasson's animal sculptures gained visibility, and designer/engraver Mats Jonasson made a name for himself on a wide front. This is said to be one of the reasons that Kosta Boda bought Målerås Glassworks in 1977.


When the purchase was completed, however, Mats Jonasson stipulated that glass he designed could be made only at Målerås. Mats was born and raised in Målerås, and that is where he learned to be an engraver.


The first figural is of a bird. It stands 3 inches tall.  As you can tell from the photos, it is made of dichroic glass.  According to Wikipedia, Dichroic glass is glass containing multiple micro-layers of metals or oxides which give the glass dichroic optical properties. The main characteristic of dichroic glass is that it has a particular transmitted color and a completely different reflected color, as certain wavelengths of light either pass through or are reflected. This causes an array of color to be displayed. The colors shift depending on the angle of view. Dichroic glass is an example of thin-film optics. The bird is signed on the bottom with an acid stamped mark.


The elephant stands 4 inches tall to the tip of its trunk.  It is signed in an etched signature, hard to read but it says Maleras.


I love the fact that in the daylight or under flourescent lighting the glass is blue, but under normal incandescent lights the glass is a lovely shade of purple.  


Add both pieces to your Swedish glass or Mid-century glass collection today. I bought them both very reasonably, thus the reasonable price.  Price if for the pair.


Both are in excellent condition and ready for home or collection today.
