About the size of a standard bullfrog roughly measuring 4 " by 4 " by 4 ". Lime green colour. Exbor animals are world renowned. They come in cats , hedgehogs, fish and frogs. Frogs are the second rarest behind Pavel Hlava's cats. The last one I had in stock was about 4 years ago and only lasted a few days before it was sold. These frogs are very appealing as they are angular geometric and hand finished and textured . QUITE SCARCE . The circa age is only an indication of when the whole series was made , ( apart from the fish that were made up into the 1980's ). Museum quality. Offers considered. Price: $265.00 USD

Circa 1965 - 1967 . MINT CONDITION . Measures 9" h by 5 " by 2 " , irregular shaped. Has metal , silver and gold oxide decoration mixed in a double … Circa 1965 - 1967 . MINT CONDITION . Measures 9" h by 5 " by 2 " , irregular shaped. Has metal , silver and gold oxide decoration mixed in a double sommerso vase. Also called a nebulae vase. This was leading edge technology back in the 1960's. However, this technique wasn't mastered by many. Fully etched with " EXBOR CZECHOSLOVAKIA " AND a VERY RARE Etched " PH " in a circle , which was Pavel Hlava's monogram. Hlava didn't stay at Exbor too long and was probably there just for a design tenure or contract. Finging his monogram on an Exbor item is truly a rare find. You can find his signature done with a diamond point engraver on items produced in the 1970's , once in a blue moon, but they do not show as nicely as this custom made etch stencil. Hlava's career was pretty extensive , much more can be found about him online. He did show at many major glass shows throughout Europe over a 30 year period, of which most if not all, were exceptional glass design masterpieces. Many of his glass designs were executed by other people at Exbor, however , this one is signed by the master himself. EXBOR glass is a really mysterious venture for collectors. This is where all the experimentation took place. People came and left almost routinely, for whatever reason. Many, MANY , MANY Exbor glass pieces are unique and are off the charts while the odd few represent glassware made for a flea market . Generally speaking , nice Exbor glass is the cat's meow. This piece is in MINT condition and just needs an old Exbor box , or a suitable place in your personal glass museum. RARE . Price: $945.00 USD

Done in VASELINE GLASS with a blue back. Circa 1965 or a little earlier. Ecellent condition for the age and shape. The mouth has a small chip and one wing tip has the slightest of flakes. Overall shows very well. Finding one better would be a tall task as these are quite rare as it is already. The body Vaseline glass is very vibrant and glows very strongly. This bird has so much radiation is should be illegal to own. Quite rare and is destined for the advanced Murano glass collection. I don't know what type of bird this is , perhaps a swan or dancing duck. Only a handful of murano glass blowers dared to blow Vaseline glass, given the early history of Vaseline blowers who all died of lung cancer. Price: $155.00 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

Three line acid etched marked VENINI MVRANO ITALIA. No damage. Measures 4 " high by 3 " base diameter and 2 1/4 " top diameter. So this shape is a trapezoidal prism. Contains a precision candy cane colour glass threaded spiral in the interior. Possibly made by Bianconi , Paolo Venini or GIO PONTI . I doubt that a piece like this will show it's face for a very long time , especially if Ponti made it ; as he experimented with many spiral techniques during his short stay at Venini. If this is correct, this piece is exceedingly rare and belongs in a glass museum or ultimate private collection. The first I have ever seen in this shape and style. Offers very welcome. Price: $POR

Unsigned. Has a gold aventurine cylinder inside the clear glass. No damage , but does have wear on all sides due to being a door stop, maybe it wasn't a door stop at first but it somehow ended up that way. I never seen anything like this before. It is not your average piece. Pieces like this would make your suitcase quite heavy for travelling , especially in the 1950's . Belongs in a museum. If one has additional information on it then please pass it along. Could be from any number of glass shops during that period. RARE. Price: $185.00 USD

Two are quite similar while one is … Three liqueur glasses , all hand made , turned with snapped off pontil marks. Bases are pressure attached , stems are " knopped " . Two are quite similar while one is a little wider and of different colour. None of these stand perfectly straight and the bowls are not level as well. The collector I obtained these from is pretty sure that they were made in the Colonial USA as opposed to England . Many early glassmakers came from England and made similar glasses that were used back home, so identity of hand made items can be pretty tough indeed. The colour is correct for glass made in Virginia , New York or New England. The glasses are flint glass and have the odd bubble . The bases are conical. One bowl on one of the glasses even has a partial finger print permanently fused into the glass, someone obviously touched It when it was still too hot too handle. A very dapper and historical ensemble. Would look nice in a period colonial house or museum. TEN pictures in total. Offers considered. Price: $225.00 USD set

Used and needs a good cleaning. No markings of any kind. Made of precision cut and turned aluminum. These pipes when found come in many dynamic and striking art deco styles. They are NOT as easy to find now as they were about 15 years ago. An iconic item of the art deco era. I once saw 2 people at auction bid one up over $250. Go figure , they look great even if you don't smoke. Price: $65.00 USD

Napier … Circa and Design Patented for 1935. Measures 6 " by 4 " by 3 ". Silver plated brass. Excellent condition with no damage but does have minor edge wear and brassing. Napier is a US company from the New England area. The name NAPIER should not be confused with Napier, New Zealand , which is considered one of the most beautiful Art Deco cities in the world. There is no affiliation between the two names at all. This piece has a red bakelite head with 2 eyes. It is the shape of a swan. Used to serve appetizers on toothpicks. Napier in general is a slightly tougher art deco name to collect, some pieces are rare and expensive while others are more affordable. These swans do not come up all that often and are nice treasures when found. Price: $84.00 USD
