Lot 56: A Collection of Decorative Pressed, Cut, and Art Glassware
An assortment of vintage decorative glassware featuring a variety of manufacturing techniques and styles. The collection includes a large clear pressed glass pedestal bowl with a scalloped and serrated rim, decorated with hobstars and diamond quilting. A pair of tulip-shaped vases are present in a pale yellow-amber glass, featuring a raised lattice pattern and crown-style rims. The art glass components include a tall, translucent olive-green vase with a fluted, twisting body and an opaque pink cased glass vase with a heavily crimped rim and clear glass applied foot. The cranberry and pink glass items consist of a small deep pink bowl with optical ribbing and a pair of small circular pink tea light holders or salt cellars with diamond quilting, housed in a red-and-white grid-patterned box. Cut glass items include a biscuit barrel with a metal-bound rim, a blue-and-yellow wrapped handle, and a matching lid, all featuring deep-cut geometric and star motifs. The group also contains a clear glass decanter with a ringed neck and etched bands, and a small clear footed dish with a diamond pattern. An orange wax egg is also included within the lot.
