Up until the turn of the previous century, Bride's Baskets were
a popular wedding gift. They consist of an art glass bowl, usually with
ruffled edges and the typical sort of elaborate decoration that appealed
to Victorian tastes, and a silverplated holder which the bowl fitted into.
Often it is difficult if not impossible to find a matched set nowadays.
This particular Bride's Basket has outstanding enameled decoration which
is in fantastic condition, and has a soft blue finish over milk glass.
Not possible to tell if the holder is original; it fits well. This 13x7in
Bride's Basket is c.1880s, and is priced at $595.00. |

Paden City Glass Mfg. Co. operated from 1916 to 1951. Their most
popular wares are intricate acid etched designs often bearing birds, as
in the case of this particular vase. While they produced many lovely colors,
collectors are discovering that crystal pieces with good decoration and
etching are difficult to find and quite desirable in their own right. This
10in Gazebo etched crystal vase has gold decoration as well as the acid
etched design, and is priced at $85.00. |

Fenton, one of the few American art glass companies still in production
today, made Rose Overlay, a cased glass with translucent rose colored glass
over a milk glass shell, from 1943-1948. Fenton clearly marked the decade
of production after the '70s on the bottom of items, first with just the
logo in the '70s and then with an 8, 9 or 0. This is a matching set of
Rose Overlay dresser pieces. Wouldn't they look lovely in a boudoir? The
4.75in perfume with clear stopper is $65.00; the 4in powder
jar with a clear lid c.1943 $45.00. |

The soft light of oil lamps was one of the few ways to keep the
night at bay for thousands of years. These lamps are the last of their
kind- not decorative or nostalgic, they were meant to be the main source
of lighting in Victorian homes. 19in The lamp on the left is a Nathan Russell
kerosene burning composite lamp with a pattern glass well c.1890s, priced
at $175.00. The other one is a 18.5in kerosene lamp by an unknown manufacturer
c.1870s. New burner. It has a sun purpled bottom half with a Welsback milkglass
frilled shade that sits on the chimney priced at $75.00. |

Consolidated Lamp & Glass Co began dabbling in art glass after
seeing the great success of Rene Lalique's art glass in France. They produced
many classically Art Deco designs from 1926 to 1932, at which time many
of their molds were moved to the Phoenix glass company. It' s difficult
today to discern, without the original stickers, between the two company's
production of the original Ruben Hayley designs in the Martelé line.
Many collectors don't discern between the two. The goose vase, $125.00,
is definitely by Phoenix, and the milk glass vase, priced at $40.00, is
from a mold originally termed 'Vine' by Consolidated. |

glassware in the Depression era and beyond, as well as the biggest in the

their peers of the same period. These two stems have topaz bowls and crystal
stems, line #3124, and are a saucer champagne, $22.50 and a water goblet,
