Corning called these creations "Glas-Snap" tumblers. The insert "snaps" in and out of the plastic holder. I really like the modern feel of this Freda Diamond design. Being made of Pyrex glass, they are good for hot or cold beverages. 


This is how these Corning creations are described in the Corning archive: "Pyrex Mug with Black Holder. Colorless glass; black plastic; machine-made. Tapering cylindrical shape glass that sits in a black base with handle." 


The 12 ounce size stands 5 1/2 inches tall when in the holder while the 8 ounce size stands 5 inches tall. There is a slight smoky gray color to the glass. 


In the 1973 catalog which accompanied the recent Pyrex Centennial exhibit, these two sizes are shown in plastic bases of the following colors: Spring Blossom Green, Snowflake Blue, and Butterfly Gold. Sound familiar? Well it should if you are Pyrex collector. In fact, there was also a matching 1 Quart Serving Pitcher and a larger size 1 1/2 Quart Pitcher available to accompany these Glas-Snap mugs. 


I am not yet sure what year the black plastic bases were produced but my guess is around the same time period. Excellent condition  With a height of 3 1/2 inches and a top opening of 2 1/2 inches, this small but well-proportioned coffee mug was made by David Gil, in his Cooperative Design years, most likely 1948-1960. 


This green glaze has undertones of different shades and a finely grained texture.  The unglazed bottom is marked with the incised cooperative design, bennington, vermont mark in a rectangle though it is a faint impression on this mug, dating it to the 1960-1961 time period. 


It is in excellent condiiton and a good example of a David Gil design.

Priced at just $25 in my Booth 17 at 5 Corners Antiques, here is a lovely example of the Art Deco china the Noritake Company of Nagoya Japan was making specifically for export to foreign markets. It carries the red wreath mark indicating it was made in the 1925-1935 time period. The bowl is 9 inches wide and stand 1 1/2 inches tall. It features tan luster around the rim with 2 cut out handles. It is a great Art  Deco design. 


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.


Excellent condition. Add it to your Noritake Art Deco collection today  This iconic 1970s pattern go, the "Butterfly Gold" pattern which made its debut in 1972 was designed by Gregory Mirow. The elements of the design are highly stylized: flower, butterflies, sheaf of wheat. 


This particular style of cup is made of a product called Vitrelle which is "a tempered glass product consisting of two types of glass laminated into three layers." (wikepedia). 


These "hook-handle" cups were made between 1972 until 1982 and as you can see stack easily, one of their selling points. They were designed by Charles B. Ketcham. 


Excellent condition. It's time to plan a coffee klatch!

Their mark under the Continental Can Company name consists of three concentric letter Cs. So, these glasses were made between 1957-1978. The Continental Can Company purchased the Hazel Atlas Glass Company in 1957 but in 1964 12 of the 14 plants of Hazel-Atlas were acquired by the Brockway Glass Company. This mark thus dates these glasses are from the 1957- 1964. Continental Can retained the Clarksburg, West Virginia plant where they continued to produce the Hazelware product line until 1972 but I don't know if they included the CCC mark. In 1978, Brockway Glass Company announced the closure of the glass tableware division that it had purchased from Continental Can Company just six years earlier. Brockway Glass Company sold the Clarksburg, WV plant to Anchor Hocking Corporation, of Lancaster, Ohio. Anchor Hocking did not manufacture any of the Hazelware product lines.


Each glass stands 5 1/2 inches tall and holds 12 ounces. It has a 1/2 inch solid glass base which gives it great stability. The design is done in real gold. The three pheasants on each glass , both male and female are depicted in great detail. Know a hunter who likes a good cocktail? Buy a set now and save it to give it as a gift! 


So, which classic American cocktail would you make and serve in it?  Coffee? Tea? Hot Cider? A set of 4 shape 1410 coffee mugs for your retro kitchen java extravaganza!

This iconic 1970s pattern is the "Spring Blossom Green" pattern which made its debut in 1972 and was designed by Sara Balbach.


 The elements of the design are highly stylized in a band around the cup: abstract small white flowers with green centers, green flowers with white centers, solid green dots, and green outlined white leaves. This set of four is also available at Barge Canal Market for $20 and is ready for hot coffee, hot cocoa, hot tea, you name it. I also have some available in my Booth 17 at 5 Corners Antiques in Essex Junction Vermont  A set of 4 shape 1410 coffee mugs for your retro kitchen java extravaganza! 


This iconic 1970s pattern is the "Butterfly Gold" which made its debut in 1972 and was designed by Gregory Mirow. The elements of the design are highly stylized: flower, butterflies, sheaf of wheat. 


This set is available and is ready for hot coffee, hot cocoa, hot tea, you name it. I also have some available in my booth 17 at 5 Corners Antiques in Essex Junction Vermont.  The Impromptu Line was introduced around the same time as the Accent Line. It too was designed by Freda Diamond who was Libbey's head designer from 1942-1979. She was brilliant in her understanding of the American giftware market. It was produced in plain glass and with decorations on it from 1971-1982. 


Here is how it was described in the original 1971 catalog geared for wholesale dealers who carried Libbey glass: "The look of the future for the lifestyles of today. Casual, contemporary glassware design. Handsome, sculptured sidewalls feel comfortable …. easy to hold …. and look good, too! Offered in tasteful shades of Tawny, Olive, and new Dusky Blue. Put them on your shelves, Watch them move." 


It is hard to find this line in Dusky Blue color glass as it was only offered in this color in 1971-1973. I think cocktails look great in clight colored glass. Time to look up some vintage cocktail recipes and fill up these rocks with some vintage goodness!

Like other better known lines such as Lido, Soreno, and Pagoda, this late 1960s to early 1970s glass line from Anchor Hocking comes in these colors: avocado green, clear, gold, laser blue, and a rare flower vase.

 

According to replacements.com, the line includes 11 pieces: a 4" flat juice tumbler, a 3 1/8" old fashioned tumbler, a 5 1/2 inch tall 12 oz beverage tumbler, a 6 inch 16 oz tall tumbler, a 6 3/4 inch 22 oz "cooler", a 9 5/8 inch 64 oz pitcher, and a 11 1/4 inch storage jar. For footed pieces, it includes a 3 1/2 inch 8 oz champagne/tall sherbet, a 5 3/4 inch water goblet. It even includes two plates, both a 9 7/8 inch dinner plate and a 10 inch snack plate with cup ring. 


This makes this line one of the most complete lines Anchor Hocking offered in this time period. It is also a hybrid of the textured surface lines such as Lido, Soreno, and Pagoda and much more traditional glassware in that the pattern of flowers is done in relief on each piece while keeping a stippled background.  Are you named Anthony or Armstrong? Audrey or Adams? If your first name or last name begins with the letter "A", then this set of vintage platinum rim Midcentury hiball glasses from the 1960s is for you! 

Yes, that's the ticket! This set of 4 clear with "A" monogram tumblers/hiballs stands 5 1/2 inches tall. Each one carries the monogram "A" on one side. Very heavy 3/4 inch base which gives these glasses great stability and heft. 


So, let's see, which classic cocktail would you serve in your "A" glasses?  Noritake Viewpoint grey 1978-1983 set four 4 1/2 inch champagne tall sherbet:


Champagne or cocktails ... or dessert for four? Well, apparantly this is the very situation which the Noritake Company chose to address with the introduction of their 1978-83 Viewpoint line in this smoky gray color. This elegant line is highlighted by the use of a smoke gray glass bowl on top and a one piece body of the glass. They are simply stunning.


The smoky gray color was very popular in the late 1960s through the 1970s. It was used by Holmegaard in Denmark in Per Lutken's iconic line as well as by the Libbey Glass Company of Toledo Ohio and Morgantown in West Virginia. For Noritake, I believe this line was their attempt to stay current with the times.


This shape was marketed as a "champagne/tall sherbet" glass. Each stands 4 1/2 inches tall and the bowl is 3 7/8 inches across. It would look stunning in the right Midcentury decor. Add it to your vintage barware collection today.  It's funny that I have now purchased a third set of this Federal pattern after never seeing it before last month. This version has a silver rim added to it with embossed 6 embossed designs repeated twice around the bowl. The design is very abstract but feels Scandanavian in nature. It could even be a very abstract butterfly. 


This set of 3 5/8 inch tall footed cocktail glasses features a smoky gray foot attached to a clear round bowl. This size was listed as their "champagne / tall sherbet " but it would be a great choice for your classic or craft cocktails too! 


The set is now for sale for $20 for the set of 3, that's less than $7 each

This set of 4 vintage stamped aluminum 3 1/8 inch bar coasters features a very popular motif of a spray of flowers which was often used on all sorts of decorative articles or housewares in the 1945-1970 time period. They were inexpensive to buy and likewise inexpensive to manufacture as they did not use the labor intensive "hand hammering" method found on higher priced aluminum items of the period. The pattern was simply stamped by matching onto thinner aluminum, then shaped to its desired purpose.

Now, they can play the same vital role they played back then, protecting wooden surfaces from condensation from a cold drink served in a glass. Order them now.  My Mom had a special set of "guest coasters" or fancy coasters that she only used when she hosted her Ladies' bridge club a few times a year. They had their own special location in the top drawer of the end table. Strictly off limits except for the bridge club. Of course there were a few other coaster sets around the living room, dining room, and the rest of the house.

Made in  Bristol Vermont, this Moutain Kiln Pottery 5 inch tall blue maple syrup jug was made by either John F. Kennedy  or Paul T. Kennedy, brothers who formed Green Mountain Wood Crafters in Charlotte Vermont in 1937 and worked there until a fire in 1942. 


Post WWII, they were located in Bristol Vermont until 1959. They moved into the former Sheffield Farms building on Route 22A in Vergennes in 1960, adding a gift shop where tourists were able to watch the wood ware being made.  From 1960-1980 they had several retail locations in Florida, New York, New Hampshire but the most successful was in downtown Burlington at the corner of College and Church street, now Sweetwater's restaurant since 1980, though the Kennedy family still owns the building. 


The earliest piece I have heard of is a pitcher dated 1947. I do not yet know when the pottery stopped operating. I now know that whichever brother was not involved with the wooden ware Vergennes operation opened a store in New Haven, VT which was operating as late as 1971 when an acquaintance's grandmother stopped and bought some pottery marked as Pittsfield Potters there.


In excellent condition, it is glazed in a light blue glaze.  It is marked with the incised initials MKP and Bristol, VT.  2015 Tonner 11 Inch Just Like a Princess Sindy Fashion Doll, No. T15SYDD03, is licensed from the British Co., Pedigree Dolls and Toys Ltd.

There is a white edge like on Edward Winter's pieces. The back is counterenameled in a rich reddish brown color and her full name is signed in gold.

Produced by the Bovano company of Cheshire CT between 1952-1964, this 6 1/2 inch wide square ashtray is in the same design as my previous post of the 15 inch "Red Flowers" plaque. I have named this stunning variation "Green Flowers" Abstract red flowers with orange centers. Abstract green flowers with gold centers. The back is counter enameled in black as well. I first saw this pattern in a 2004 issue of Modernism magazine. Bovano recently ceased production. This piece is available at Five Corners Antiques in Essex Junction Vermont. The back is counter enameled in black as well.  Bovano 9 inch Confetti & Jewel ashtray:


Made by placing small bits of colored glass and one larger chunk of colored glass on the gold ground before firing, the final result is a geometric abstract pattern I have named "Confetti & Jewel". Bovano of Cheshire CT made many Midcentury enamel items from 1952-1964 in these abstract designs before shifting their production to more realistic three dimensional stand alone sculptures and wall pieces. This great 9 inch dish has rests to use it as an ashtray. These days, one can use it as a catch-all or a candy dish.  Carl Radke 2015 Amber fumed purple with blue leaves and silver vines California Poppy Toothpick Holder:


This Carl Radke 2015 signed toothpick holder stands 1 15/16 inches tall. It is blown into a traditional 1880-1895 American Art Glass shape, that being a double gourd form. It is made of two layers: the inner amber glass color layer and an outer layer of clear glass onto which the orange flowers, silver vines and blue leaves of the CA Poppy pattern are placed. It is then iriidized by a fuming process to create it lustrous purple highlight finish. It is signed on the bottom "Carl Radke 15" and carries his Phoenix Studios silver paper label.


It is as of 9/15 one of only four made in this shape and finish. It is in excellent condition. $125 plus Priority Mail shipping from 05452.


Carl Radke has been blowing glass since 1970. He was one of a vanguard of young artists who participated in the Renaissance of American Art Glass in the early 1970s.


Originated by Tiffany in 1881 and popular during the early part of the 20th century, Lustre Art Glass had fallen out of favor about 1925, practically becoming a lost art. In the latter part of the 1960s, the art programs of several California universities began to rekindle an interest in glassblowing in general and in Silver Art Glass specifically. Several of the young artists became fascinated with the medium and were caught up by the challenge of rediscovering this complex and sophisticated art form.


Lustre Glass is a very specialized glassblowing medium because of the silver content in the glass. It has always been one of the most costly forms of glass to produce. In addition to the high cost of the raw materials used in Lustre Glass, the raw glass can only be maintained in the oven for a short time before the color, quality, and texture of the glass batch begins to degenerate. These two factors prevent this volatile studio glass from being mass-produced in a larger factory environment. Thus, the specific formulae and high raw material costs have kept the blowing of Silver Lustre Art Glass in the hands of a few skillful artisans as the glass maker must be chemist as well as craftsman to work successfully in this medium.


Carl Radke is one of only a few glassblowers out of the thousands in the United States who continues to work in this difficult and traditional glass. His skill with glass and glass decoration has allowed him to "play" with the medium and to develop his unique creations.

This Carl Radke 2015 signed toothpick holder stands 2 inches tall. It is blown into a traditional 1880-1895 American Art Glass shape, that being a double gourd form. It is made of two layers: the inner red glass color layer and an outer layer of clear glass onto which the orange flowers, silver vines and blue leaves of the CA Poppy pattern are placed. It is then iriidized to create it lustrous finish. It is signed on the bottom "Carl Radke 15" and carries his Phoenix Studios silver paper label. It was one of the original 36 prototypes Carl created for my display of his work at the 2015 40th Annual Convention of the NTHCS (National Toothpick Holder Collector’s Society).

Carl Radke has been blowing glass since 1970. He was one of a vanguard of young artists who participated in the Renaissance of American Art Glass in the early 1970s.

Originated by Tiffany in 1881 and popular during the early part of the 20th century, Lustre Art Glass had fallen out of favor about 1925, practically becoming a lost art. In the latter part of the 1960s, the art programs of several California universities began to rekindle an interest in glassblowing in general and in Silver Art Glass specifically. Several of the young artists became fascinated with the medium and were caught up by the challenge of rediscovering this complex and sophisticated art form.


Lustre Glass is a very specialized glassblowing medium because of the silver content in the glass. It has always been one of the most costly forms of glass to produce. In addition to the high cost of the raw materials used in Lustre Glass, the raw glass can only be maintained in the oven for a short time before the color, quality, and texture of the glass batch begins to degenerate. These two factors prevent this volatile studio glass from being mass-produced in a larger factory environment. Thus, the specific formulae and high raw material costs have kept the blowing of Silver Lustre Art Glass in the hands of a few skillful artisans as the glass maker must be chemist as well as craftsman to work successfully in this medium.

The deeply incised mark and the dark base color of the clay seen on the back of the plate as well as the orange tinted rim place this plate into the early period for this 1240 shape series. Both the bottom and the bottom of the side rim are unglazed. 


The pattern of this plate is a very abstract one, depicting a Bull or Steer with horns. I have nicknamed this piece Lascaux Bull as it reminds me of the cave paintings there. In my 2013 interview with Gloria Gil, she stated that David Gil was inspired by the discovery of the Lascaux caves in France in 1940 and opened to the public in 1948, the same year David graduated from Alfred University and started Cooperative Designin Bennington Vermont.


The body is done in a simple line technique of blue and black. The eye is turquoise blue and there are two brown spots on the side of the animal. What is interesting about the brown spots is that you can also see hints of the turquoise blue color coming through them. The glaze over this must be a type of semi-matte glaze as the colors are muted.


This is a hard to find variation of this early period 1240 shape.


In addition to the standard early period david gil bennington signature, it also shows the outline of the original Raymor paper label which was placed right over the bennington signature. Excellent condition.  It was part of the Raymor line. Many of these early period 1240 plates are still found with an intact Raymor label or the shadow of the sticker. Gloria Gil told me that Raymor approached them in 1953. Their association with Raymor last 20 years until 1973.


David Gil started producing work in Bennington Vermont in 1948. They are among the few American studio potteries that turned into production potteries in the midcentury. It evolved into a co-operative of different art potters, then into the Bennington Potters company we have known since 1960 and still very much active today.


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.

This style of cup was introduced in 1972 and stayed in production for 10 years. It was designed by Charles Ketcham in 1967 and put into production in 1972. They are made of Vitrelle, are break resistant and microwave safe.  In the company literature this style  of cup was called either the "Stack Cup" or "Open Handle Cup" (info courtesy of corellecorner.com)


They hold 6-7 ounces, scant by today's standards of a cup or coffee but normal in the 1970s for a serving size of coffee.


This pattern is called Butterfly Gold and can be seen on page 162 of Mauzy's 3rd Edition (2004) Pyrex the Unauthorized Collector's Guide book.  The cups and saucers are in good vintage shape and ready to give you years of service. So, if you already own the Butterfly Gold mixing bowl or refrigeraor set, this set of cups will fit right in.
