Own a piece of American glass history! The very first pieces of glass that Louis Comfort Tiffany designed and produced were glass tiles used for trim on walls and around fireplaces. These 3 inch square tiles are some of the earliest produced because the don't have the Tiffany patent embossed on them. They are in the shape of a flower also know as a rosette. It's hard to find these tiles in excellent shape because when they were removed they were often chipped along the edges. These ones are no exception, the solid blue has a number of chips around the edges. The blue and white slag tile is in better shape but has a crack within it. Regardless, these tiles are nearly impossible to find on the open market.

Stunning Findlay Onyx Spooner. This rare form of art glass was manufactured by the Dalzell, Gillmore and Leight Co. in 1989. Due to it's brittle nature, the glass chipped and cracked easily. Production ceased after only six months. This Spooner is cased and has a white lining. The glass has lots of opalescent fire when held to the light. The rim is in perfect shape with no chips or cracks. I'm not an "expert" in this type of glass so I don't know if the rim has been previously ground down. Excellent shape with no cracks or chips.

Beautiful Art Nouveau vase produced at the turn of the century. Stunning workmanship with applied green tendrils rising from the bottom and ending in a peacock eye decoration. Polished pontil with the numbers "35176119" engraved on the bottom. I've seen these vases attributed to Harrach in Bohemia, Stuart & Sons and Thomas Webb in England. I'll let you be the judge. Sadly, there is a quarter inch chip off the rim. Still a beautiful piece of art!

Large stunning prewar Monart vase (Shape HF VII). Beautiful swirling palette of colours. Wafer pontil. Unfortunately, there's a pencil size (1/16 inch) hole that goes through the side of the vase about halfway down. This hole managed to take off a 1/2 inch flake of glass from the inside. Other than this the vase is in excellent condition. It would make a beautiful cabinet piece. A vase like this in perfect shape would sell for $400 - $500.

After Victor Durand died in 1931, his partner Col. Evan Kimball took over the business and began exclusively producing cluthra type glass similar to what Frederick Carder had produced at Steuben. This venture only lasted a year and then the business shut down. Because of the short production period, Kimball glass is very hard to come by. Kimball used the same shapes as Durand used. This is Shape#2011. The vase has a polished pontil and is marked "2011-12 Dec 0" and there's a "K" in the middle for "Kimball" This vase is in excellent condition.
