Ruby red wine goblet with brass pedestal base

This is a lovely vintage flared-rim ruby red wine goblet featuring a brass sheath and pedestal base. Piece stands 5-1/4" tall with diameters of 3-3/8” at the mouth and 2-3/4" at the foot. Neither the glass nor the brass is marked as to maker. The pedestal foot turns freely, but does not screw off. The brass has developed a lovely patina over the decades and has one tiny ding on the base. Ruby glass has no chips, cracks, or scratches, but some very slight usage roughness at the mouth rim.

Ruby flashed souvenir pitcher

This is a small antique ruby flashed pressed glass souvenir pitcher with applied handle in the Button & Arches pattern produced by Duncan Miller ca. 1880-1920. One side reads “Souvenir U.R.K. of P. Encampment”. Other side reads “Marie Whisman, Aug. 20, 1904, Louisville, Ky.” The lower portion of the pitcher has deep miters that form the six buttons and arches segments, and the bottom features a 6-point star with additional buttons. Piece stands 3-1/2" tall with a 2-3/4" diameter base, and measures 4" from spout to handle. Ruby flashing is in amazingly good condition, with no scratches whatsoever, nor are there any nicks, chips, cracks, or scratches to be found anywhere on this truly beautiful antique.

By the way, U.R.K. of P. stands for Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias. A secret fraternal and benevolent order known as the Knights of Pythias was organized as a voluntary association in Washington, District of Columbia, in 1864. In addition to a Grand Lodge and subordinate lodges in each state to which it has been extended, the order conducts an insurance branch known as the Endowment Rank and a military branch known as the Uniform Rank. After an enormous amount of research, Ol’ Swaphos and I discovered that The "Old Kentucky Home" Guard No. 42, Knights of Pythias was instituted in Williamstown, KY on May 30, 1893. We even found an old photo of this group in full regalia. Click here to see it. When you buy this pitcher, we’ll include a copy of the picture and the “Old Kentucky Home” Guard information first printed in 1901.

Ruby flashed souvenir creamer

This is an antique ruby flashed pressed glass souvenir creamer with applied handle that stands 2-1/2" tall with a 1-3/4" diameter base, and measures just a shade over 3" from spout to handle. The two lines of script are so faded that it’s virtually impossible to read the words, but with a great deal of effort, just the right light, and a very good magnifying glass, I was finally able to make out “Souvenir” on the top line and what I think is “Malta, Mont.” on the bottom line. I checked my atlas and there is a Malta, Montana. Whew! I think I deserve at least a gold star for my exertion! The lower portion of the creamer is encircled with a 1/2" ribbon featuring beaded top and bottom edges and a running wave design in the center. Above the ribbon are three tall ornate arches with scalloped tops, and an 18-point petal graces the bottom. Near perfect condition, with a hairline crack in the handle and very light scratching on the ruby flashing. (Click on picture for more images.) Tell a friend.
