This Art Deco piece of glass was called a sandwich server in the period catalogues. It was meant to be used by a hostess as she served tea sandwiches to her guests. Later, post WW II, these were used to serve cookies and candies, cupcakes even. I still remember the one on my Aunt Anna's table ready for the nephews and nieces to visit. It measures a little over 10 inches in diameter. The handle is slightly different from the ones I found pictures in the Lancaster Glass Company book, but the decoration is very similar. I therefore can surmise that this was a competitor's version. The orange and black color are because the back of the clear glass plate was painted in cold paint. The gold highlights on the rim band were painted on the top of the glass, creating a three dimensional effect. It is in excellent vintage condition. This piece of American glass is as useful today as it was when it was made in the Art Deco time period. I would hand wash it but it is sturdy and ready for your home and/or collection.  Showing the Art Deco flair so typical of the work of the Farber Brothers of New York, New York from the period, this pair of tidbit servers or hors d'oeuvre servers each has the original green glass insert which is so often missing. Each chrome base is 5 1/2 inches square and stands 1/2 inch off the table as the area in which the green glass insert goes is recessed. Each of the corners is embossed with a stylized tulip design. The handles show the streamlined three speed lines so prevalent in Art Deco pieces. There would have been a chrome small fork which was a part of the set, but it is missing. It is hard to find these with the original glass, much less a pair of them. Well marked on the bottom of each, they are ready for your Art Deco collection. Good examples of American Art Deco are getting harder to find, so add this pair to your collection now.  Jacques Potin "Les Parasols Rouges" lithograph. Potin was born in 1920. A very similar but smaller 11 x 13¾ in. (27.9 x 35 cm.), unframed painting was Lot 66 at a Christie's 2008 auction. This lithograph itself measures 20 inches wide x 14 3/4 inches high. The mat is 4" wide and the frame measures 27 inches x 22 inches. The lower left is artist-signed "Epreuve d'artste" (Artist's Proof) and the lower right Jacques Potin in pencil. The back has the title, the word Lithographie in French and the artist's signature. On the stretcher is a piece of green paper with "Lithograph, Detruit, Paris" and a red paper star attached to it. Now "detruit" means destroyed in French, so not sure to what the "detruit" refers. Also, there is a paper label of the framer Lexington Gallery in New York City as well as the Skinner Gallery label which states 1378 Lot !5. That is where I purchased it in 1991 for $275.00. It is in good shape though the frame bottom corners seem a bit loose but that is how I purchased it at Skinner's.  This 7 1/2 inch tall flared vase is made of what is probably catalin as the colors in the vase swirl like those on a catalin radio. The top of this very lightweight vase features a very characteristic Art Deco motif, that of the three speed lines, three horizontal bands which circle the vase. The lines of this vase remind me of the similar sized and shape vases by Chase Chrome of Waterbury, Conn. and the Revere Company of Rome, NY. I would place its manufacture in Art Deco period of 1925-1940 when all sorts of consumer goods and household articles were designed by industrial designers for the popular trade. The bottom is marked Bird Gro-Rite, E. Walpole, MASS and has what is most likely a shape number, NO. 210. I tried to research this company and came up with no information. The colors are a rich green, gray and some black. A very stylish piece in excellent condition. Add it to your Art Deco collection. It would also look stunning on an Art Deco or even Midcentury modern Scandanavian furniture piece.

This piece of Revere is from the line designed by Lurelle Guild. It measures 8 3/4 inches in diameter. Notice the ends of the handle. He used the same motif on images designed for the Chase company. You can see the 'Revere' 'Rome' mark in the last photo. Excellent condition. A beautiful and useful piece.  This Farberware Deco coffee urn/percolator is signed on the bottom and is part of 'Set 110'. The most striking features are the use of red and black paint on the handles to imitate the more expensive bakelite and catalin sets of the day. From the 1930s most likely, it also has speed lines flowing down the front vertically and a stepped base. A black pouring handle adds to the elegance. In excellent shape WITH the original cord. All parts are here. Brew up some java and impress your dinner guests with a blast of elegance from yesteryear.  Djer Kiss chased chrome Art Deco compact with geometrical designs on lid.  Measuring over 2 1/1 inches wide, this Vogue green/blue floral typewriter tin was made by the Royal Typewriter Company of New York City.
