Gay Fad 24K gold “Woodland” bent glass plate
 This is a positively stunning triangular bent glass plate in Gay Fad’s 24 karet gold Woodland design introduced in 1956. In her interviews with former Gay Fad employees, Donna McGrady learned that each piece of glass was painted before being bent, so a special kind of paint had to be used that would not crack during the bending process. The bottom and upswept exterior sides of this plate are pebble textured while the interior gold painting is on a non-textured surface. The Woodland design is an intricate series of overlapping leaves and branches, with acorns scattered around the edges and the Gay Fad signature at lower right. This plate is an equilateral triangle that measures approximately 8-3/8" on each side and is 1" deep. It has obviously been extremely well taken care of over the decades because it has no nicks, chips, cracks, or gold loss and the gold still glows after more than 50 years! And we know it’s 24K because Gay Fad’s Woodland ad in the October, 1956 Gift and Art Buyer says so! Requires very gentle handling and cleaning to keep it in its gorgeous pristine condition.

Gay Fad 24K gold “Woodland” bent glass platter
 This dazzling 24 karet gold Gay Fad Woodland bent glass serving platter is the large square version of our triangular Woodland plate listed immediately above. Once again the bottom and upswept exterior sides are pebble textured and the intricate 24 karet gold design of trees, branches, leaves, and acorns is painted on the interior non-textured surface. Platter stands 1-5/8" tall and measures 11-5/8" across at the corners of its slightly concave square rim, tapering to a 5-1/2" square base. Absolutely perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, or loss of gold. I doubt it has ever been used for anything other than display. It positively gleams! Requires very gentle handling and cleaning to keep it in its gorgeous pristine condition. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Gay Fad “Vintage” martini pitcher
 This huge (10-1/2" tall) clear glass martini pitcher is a wonderful example of Gay Fad’s beautiful “Vintage” design that features gold and white Greek figures and symbols on turquoise panels. This one’s center panel features a barefoot Greek lady with her large basket of grapes and the top and bottom panels depict mythological Greek animals. Gold and white grape clusters border the panel trilogy at top right and bottom left. “Vintage” was one of Gay Fad’s later designs. The only place I’ve seen it shown is in a Gay Fad ad from the August, 1956 edition of Gift and Art Buyer that pictures a set of two Vintage decanters, one with a female figure and the other with a male figure, in a brass tantalus, a lockable frame. The ad says Vintage comes in turquoise and gold, but I have seen a variation of this same design in pink and gold. Our martini pitcher stands 10-1/2" tall with diameters of 3" at its pour-spout rim and 2-7/8" at its unmarked base. Perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, or paint loss. Requires hand washing to keep it that way! (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Gay Fad “Gay Nineties” cocktail pitcher
 This frosted cocktail pitcher is one of Gay Fad’s “Here’s To” series from the “Gay Nineties” line of glassware. The front depicts a hand-painted full-color Victorian couple all dressed up for party-going and says “Ours” above them. (Makes me wonder if this pitcher wasn’t originally part of a Gay Fad “Cocktails for Two” set with two glasses that said “You” and “Me” respectively.) The back contains not just one, but three “Here’s To” rhymes:
“Here’s to us! So fine, so fair, Just we two – A charming pair!”
“To you and me, In quiet bliss, Let’s have a drink, And settle this.”
“Here’s to us! Scotch or Rye? You’d be like me, If you’d just try!”
Pitcher stands 6" tall with diameters of 3-1/4" at its pour-spout rim and 2-1/2" at its unmarked base. Perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, or paint loss. Requires hand washing to preserve the paint and the finish. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.

Gay Fad Bluebird glass
 This beautiful Gay Fad Bluebird glass stands 5-1/2" tall with diameters of 2-3/4" at its rim and 2-1/4" at its base. The hand-painted deep blue bluebird with pink breast and yellow feet sits on a black tree branch amid flowers and leaves, with “Bluebird” underneath. Very vivid colors and painting technique is similar to that of the International Ballet glasses listed above, so this undoubtedly is another outstanding example of Gay Fad’s early work. Glass is completely frosted inside and out with Gay Fad’s signature satiny smooth frosting. Carries the Hazel Atlas mark on the bottom. Perfect condition with no nicks, chips, cracks, scratches, or color loss. Requires hand washing to keep it that way! (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.
