Unusual 8-footed candy dish
 This little 5" diameter x 2-1/2" tall pressed glass candy dish is quite unusual with its eight slightly tapered pillar feet that begin just under the rim. Their outer edges come straight down, but their inner edges curve around the bowl and then are cut diagonally to form the 3/4" long x 1/4" thick feet. Looking at the bowl head on, the feet become part of the design, alternating with sets of vertical miters. Unmarked, but obviously an old piece. The glass has a slightly yellowish cast. There are no cracks or scratches, but so many small chips on the underside of the rim that they are downright decorative! One of the feet has a chip at its outer edge and two others have smaller chips. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Fostoria crystal hat
 This is a little glass hat that stands just a shade over 1" tall with diameters of 3-5/8" at the outer edges of its sloping brim and 2-3/8" at its base. Unmarked, but I have seen identical ones listed as ashtrays in Fostoria’s American pattern. However, as a smoker, I really must take issue with the ashtray part. No way is that sloping brim going to hold a cigarette. Thankfully I had the presence of mind to experiment with an unlit one! No, if you’re going to use this piece for anything other than display, I’d suggest it’s a pin dish or paper clip holder. It’s your choice, of course, but don’t say you weren’t warned! Perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, or scratches. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Pattern glass open compote
 I know I’ve seen the pattern name for this lovely old open compote, but it escapes me now. Probably something having to do with inverted thumbprints and/or beaded ribbons. Hopefully your knowledge is more complete than mine and you’ll recognize this beautiful gem for what it is. Standing 4-1/4" tall on its faceted stem and 3-1/2" diameter base containing a 20-point flower petal with beaded tips, the bowl is approximately 1-1/2" deep and flares to a scalloped rounded sawtooth rim that is 6-1/2" in diameter. Eight ovular concave thumbprints are banded on the bottom by a scalloped beaded ribbon formed by deep curving miters. Unmarked and in perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, or scratches.

Pair of beaded glass parfait glasses
 Frankly, I don’t know if these wonderful old pieces are parfait glasses or not, but at only 4" tall, they’re rather short and wide-mouthed to be used as vases. They look almost like small hurricane candle lamps, but since their interior bottoms are somewhat concave, it would be difficult to position flat-bottom candles in them. So I’m stumped. What are they??? Whatever their intended use, they are certainly lovely with their quilted bead exteriors and flared 12-point flower petal rims decorated with chevron shaped cuts. Mouths are 4-3/4" in diameter and pedestal bases are 2-1/2" in diameter. Amazingly enough, both are in perfect condition. All rim points are intact and neither piece has any nicks, chips, cracks, or scratches. If you can’t figure out a practical use for them, simply display them with pride!

Pair of crystal toothpick holders
 This is a pair of gorgeous little vintage toothpick holders that have amazingly deep patterning for pieces of such diminutive size. Measuring only 2-1/4" tall with diameters of 1-3/4" at their mouths and a shade over 1-1/4" at their bases, an enormous amount of detail went into these little beauties. The sides feature three intricate hobstars alternating with three sets of deep vertical miters, the middle one straight and the two flanking ones curved slightly outward, all three held together with delicate beading. An even more intricate starburst and beaded petal design graces the bottoms. Wow! How’d they do that? Neither piece has any cracks or scratches, but both have roughness around their interior top rims. They’re just a delight to look at! (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Vintage hurricane candle lamp or vase
 This is a large heavy pressed glass hurricane candle lamp that could certainly also be used as a substantial flower vase. Standing almost 9" tall, it has a 4" diameter flared 12-point flower petal rim and a 4" diameter round base that clearly shows the three mold lines. The vase portion is approximately 5-1/2" deep. The hexagonal stem rises to a 12-point flower petal that forms the bottom of the vase portion, above which are two offset rows of 12 deep elongated oval impressions. Unmarked. There are some air bubbles and waviness in the thick glass and what appear to be small manufacturer’s flaws on the upper edge of three of the top ovals. There is also a 1/2" long shallow indentation on the rim of the foot that is either another manufacturer’s flaw or a very old chip that has long since lost its sharp edges.

Pressed glass cruet with ground stopper
 With its long graceful spout, this pretty 6-1/2" tall pressed glass cruet with applied handle looks like an elegant miniature ewer. Measuring 2-1/2" in diameter at its widest point, and with a round 2-3/8" diameter base, this piece rises to 7-3/4" tall when stoppered with its hexagonally faceted stopper with ground bottom. Unmarked. The neck interior is scuffed from constant contact with the ground stopper, and sadly, there is a long curved crack running down from the spout, all of which is reflected in our price. If perfect, this lovely cruet would be worth at least twice as much and it still makes a great display piece. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Pressed glass cruet
 This attractive rounded octagonal cruet with applied handle is made of thick clear glass. It stands 5" tall with diameters of 3-1/4" at its widest point and 2-3/4" at its base. The neck interior shows no indication that it ever had a stopper. Unmarked. Several small air bubbles in the glass. Some roughness at the spout lip where the molds came together that is either a manufacturer’s flaw or very old chips. The base rim, however, has a definite sharp nick where the molds came together below the handle, plus a hairline crack that spans most of the bottom surface. (Click on picture for more images.)

US Glass Manhattan salad bowl
 This 3" tall x 8-1/2" diameter salad bowl is the Manhattan pattern produced by US Glass in the first decade of the 20th Century, but only in this crystal color. The pattern was reproduced in the '50's in various additional colors both by US Glass and other companies who purchased the molds. The bowl sides are encircled by 14 concave circles with beaded edges. Above each circle is a larger arch. The 3-3/4" diameter base is composed of quilted diamonds, and two additional rows of quilted diamonds encircle the bottom of the bowl portion, above which is a repeating band of 10 vertical miters for each of the beaded circles. The two tallest outside miters are positioned exactly underneath the two lowest points of the arch above the beaded circle, giving an overall appearance of concentric circles. It’s doubtful this bowl was ever used for any purpose other than display because it is in perfect condition, with no nicks, chips, cracks, or even scratches. There is a curvy manufacturer’s flaw in the interior bottom that is impossible to see except in just the right light, but can be felt. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Pressed glass berry bowl
 This attractive 2" tall x 5-1/4" diameter berry bowl with rounded sawtooth rim features three large 12-point mitered starbursts interspersed with three smaller 10-point hobstars, with an additional hobstar at the base. Two bottom rays of each starburst sweep downward, curve around the bottom of the bowl, and meet at its opposite side, producing a lovely geometric pattern that includes three fans and six little triangles. I’ve seen this bowl listed as Early American Prescut, but I wonder about that. It’s undoubtedly Early American, but if it’s Prescut, it’s not marked as such. On the other hand, “Pres Cut” was the trademark of either Imperial or McKee (I never can remember which), so I suppose other companies used the same imitation cut technique without being able to use the name. Whether or not our little bowl is true Prescut, it’s in absolutely perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, or even scratches. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.
