Measures 7 1/2 " by 4 " maximum diameter. VERY WELL MADE. Consists of a metal oxide finish over brass with various tones for the molded drape decoration. Circa 1962. What is … Measures 7 1/2 " by 4 " maximum diameter. VERY WELL MADE. Consists of a metal oxide finish over brass with various tones for the molded drape decoration. Circa 1962. What is amazing about this item is that it still has the Ames department store label still stuck on the bottom. Bearing this in mind, Ames, non defunct and bankrupt for many years now , was a clearing house for many other stores products , many of which were of higher class and high quality. This vase certainly fits the bill. Has robust sheen and is very heavy. If you collect the 1960's , this vase certainly has the look....and the affordable price ! Price: $39.00 USD

Stands 18 " high , base is 6 x5 x4 " , greatest width of 9 " . Signed either " MONY " or MOLLY and the production number of 3 / 7. So hopefully 7 of these were made . Production numbering on prints and art can be really open for speculation depending on who the artist is. Anyways , this is a PERIOD piece and is worthy of museum status. could use a little cleanup of gunged up old brasso over the years. This piece has been sitting in a basement for over 45 years from the same past owner. Could use further research. Offered at what really could be a bargain price. RARE. Price: $2250.00 USD

Quality control was horrible as well. Many pieces, well , maybe MOST pieces didn't match each other. Glazing was not consistent , causing a piece to be virtually BLACK or brackish at least from time to time. Measures roughly 5 " high by 3 ' wide at the bottom. These hold a LOT of salt and pepper. Original rubber stoppers included in nice condition. This set is about as matched as you'll see anywhere. Some sets could probably be found online a little cheaper, however , check the quality and the match and then come to your conclusions. Price: $40.00 USD

Circa … Measures about 3 " by 3 ". Perfect condition with no damage. Garnet red colour with spectacular optics. Most likely made in Hiorota. Called " Edo - Kirillo " in Japan. Circa 1980. Possibly designed or inspired by Yumiko Noda. Japanese glass has gained in popularity over the past decade, what remains to be seen is what new innovations are going to be developed which hasn't been done before. Scarce. These pieces were only available in higher end yuppie Japanese shops and didn't make much penetration in other world glass markets. Understand that these pieces are hand made under very strict tolerances. A glass lathe cutter was implemented for the facet cutting obviously. Price: $125.00 USD

Has works at the National Gallery of Canada and also the Art Gallery of Ontario, a designated member of Heritage Canada. Though not a member of OSA or the RCA , he might one day get in there. His works are few but very well done. Painting took third or fourth place to his poetry and legal career. He is also a WW I veteran and prisoner of war survivor. His technique looks to be Quebec school influenced, with a robust mixed and thick palette . Bourinot loved the Group of Seven and followed the patterns of painting unobstructed landscapes. This painting is probably done in the Ottawa valley. A rare opportunity to own one of his works. Offers considered. Price: $700.00 CDN
