This is one of the nicest carafes I’ve ever seen – cut in Libbey’s Wedgemere design. This one one of Libbey’s best, earliest designs with extremely deep cutting and wood-wheel polishing. It’s silky and vibrant in finish on an extremely clear blank.

The Wedgemere pattern climbs up the sides of this carafe with three huge, deep hobstars perched atop crosshatched fields. Dividing each of these sections is notching, clear tusks, and criss-crossed crosshatched bands. Deep miters run their way around the perimeter of the piece intersecting all motifs. The neck is fluted and notched and cut extremely deep-half the depth of the carafe is removed. Noticebly different, from other carafes is the cut, crosshatched lip. It shows an extreme touch of quality and class. The base is also finished in a deeply cut hobstar.

Deep and clear are the adjectives I use most frequently to describe this piece, but that is accurate and lacking hyperbole. It’s really that fantastic. The carafe measures 9 1/8″ tall and 6″ wide.

This is a heavy vase in an unknown butterfly design. This is probably the best quality piece I’ve ever seen with butterflies on it and the shape really lends itself well to the cutting.

A butterfly adorns each side of the vase, between two “leaves” of crosshatching. Dangling thistles separate each butterfly. The rim of the vase features very tight cutting of an undulating band of flat hobstars and tight fans. The lower portion of the vase exhibits a variety of cutting – deep hobstars, crosshatching, strawberry-diamond, and a crosshatched field with a tiny hobstar in the center of it.

The vase is large and heavy, measuring. It’s in perfect condition and free of imperfections.

It is highly unusual for a hobstar to exceed 32-points. 48-points is excessive, even. But this fishtail tray, features a remarkable, show-stopping 60-point hobstar. The amount of points at the edge of the hobstar is impressive, but please note all the tiny little points on the interior where the cutting becomes condensed. How they got that much definition without ruining the entire star baffles me.

The pattern of this piece wraps around the edge and features deep hobstars separated by two bands of notching. The hobstar has two triangular fields of crosshatching both above and below it. The ends of the piece have handles integrated in the cutting with oblong punties framed with fan cutting.

The blank and shape of the tray are extremely clear and radiant -note in the 3rd picture that the edge of the tray is ruffled. It’s no mystery that the central hobstar really steals the show on this piece – I have not seen any cut finer. But that hobstar, coupled with the unusual shape and design of this piece really makes the piece attractive and desirable. It measures 16 5/8″ long, 9 3/8″ wide,  and 3″ high.

This bowl is cut in one of the rarer designs by American Cut Glass Company. It was designed and pattented by William C. Anderson – both the found of the American Cut Glass Company and probably the most premiere cut glass designers of the period.

Three crosses of hobstars make up the major motif of he Lansing design. Each hobstar has a clear-button center and is framed with crosshatching. The crosses are adorned with feathering. Tucked between each cross is a large 24 split-point hobstar along with one more in the center of the bowl.

The bowl is in excellent condition and measures 9″ wide and 4″ tall. The blank is exceptionally clear. This is a cut glass rarity by arguably the best designer and manufacturer of ABP glass.

I love this design by American Cut Glass Company and think it adapts to this shape particularly well. This is one of the few designs patented by American Cut Glass and is unique in its setup – with all of the feathering motifs being on the interior of the pattern.

A four pointed formation fills the interior of the Triumph pattern. Two of the longer branches have a full hobstar and a smaller, clear-button hobstar. The smaller branches only have the clear button hobstar and they all surround a central 8-sided hobstar. Huge hobstars lie between each branch and are surrounded on both sides by crosshatching and  pointed fields of cane. Finally two vesicas of crosshatching sit at the edge with fans spurting up between each one.

This is only the second piece in this pattern I’ve had the chance to offer and probably only the fourth piece in the pattern I’ve ever seen. It is a true rarity and shows the ingenuity of William C. Anderson’s design. The blank is phenomenally clear and brilliant, allowing the pattern to shine.  It’s in almost perfect condition with barely a fleabite. It meausres

This set, featuring a 13″ tray and twelve matching 7″ plates is exceptional – something that I’ve never seen before. It’s cut in Sinclaire’s appropriately named Star & Pillar pattern. All pieces are signed. The blank on each piece is wonderfully clear – which is necessary with all the clear tusk work throughout each plate. The set has an incredible, bowl-you-over presence and very few sets of this size and quality exist.

The large plate features a central hobstar framed by a circle of double-miter trellis. The most beautiful, wide clear tusks sprout from the center and run to the edge where they meet richly cut hobstars. Incredible depth is acheived on each of these tusks, hand carved with the naked eye. The smaller, matching plates have a hobstar framed with a deep circular miter. The tusks, like the larger platter, run to deeply cut hobstars at the edge.

Perhaps most remarkable about this set is its condition – all pieces are nearly flawless, with just a few surface scratches here and there. It appears this was never used. Somehow all 13 pieces survived for over 100 years, unscathed. The large platter measures just over 13″ wide and just over 1 1/2″ tall. The twelve matching plates each measure 7″ wide.

Compotes with this much size and presence are extremely difficult to come by. My grandparents, antique dealers themselves, had an identical match to this piece in there personal collection. In the mid 60’s they recognized the piece’s quality and uniqueness and kept it for themselves – now residing in my personal collection. It’s cut in Dorflinger’s No. 350 design.

The first things that draws my eye to this piece is the giant air-trapped stem. It’s elegant and completely hand (mouth)-made art. The entire, long stem of the compote is notched almost like an icicle. Even looking through the top of the compote you can see the air-bubble – it’s probably the largest I’ve ever seen. The design of the bowl features large, 8-pointed stars with crossatching between their top and bottom points. The left and right spaces have a crosscut which is repeated immediately outside of the 8-pointed star’s field. Long fans lead to a “shooting” hobstar, which alternates with the 8-pointed star motif. The base is scalloped and holds a huge 32-point hobstar.

Compotes like this simply do not come along – this is only the second one in over 50 years anyone in my family has seen. Light dances off of it, and it has long been a centerpiece of our collection. It’s 12″ tall and 10″ wide. The compote is in near-mint condition with just one tiny, razor-thin flake on the underside of the base

This piece appears to be in Libbey’s Wedgemere pattern. It is wood-wheel polished to silky perfection.

The Wedgemere pattern hinges on the center-most point of this tray. Deep miters radiate from that point in all directions. Some of the miters frame a deeply cut hobstar perched atop a smaller, deep hobstar. Fans separate both stars and they are framed on either side by notching. There are four bands of a criss-crossed crosshatching. On either side of these bars is surrounded on both sides by deep tusk cutting (supposedly one of the most difficult motifs of the period). Unusually, most Wedgemere has an additional crossed miter cutting over the tusks/non-hobstar pieces. This may have been changed to accommodate blank/shape or size.

Wedgemere is one of the most desirable designs of the Brilliant period and after handling this tray, it will become apparent why. It’s deeply cut, perfectly polished and features difficult to cut motifs. This piece measures and is in perfect condition except for one small, thin chip along side the notched prism motif.

I have seen this pattern ID’d somewhere as J. Hoare (I thought in a line drawing), but I can’t find it at the moment. It’s a wonderful pattern of hobstar clusters.

The cutting on this pitcher is extremely detailed – deeply cut hobstars cover the piece with deep, angled miters grouping them in clusters. The handle is triple notched and rim finished with large scallops. The base features a large, 24-point hobstar.

The blank on this pitcher is unfathomably clear – it’s exceptional and water-white. Even with all the detailed cutting, the clarity is readily apparent. It’s also heavy and measures.

This bowl was cut in Taylor Brother’s Waldorf pattern. It is in a similar style and quality to their well-known Bellevue pattern. Waldorf is actually harder to find than Bellevue, which makes it quite rare.

This bowl is really cut-to-death with tight, detailed cutting covering most every surface. The patterns works in rings going outward toward the Taylor Brother’s colonial edge. The thinner of the rings has alternating stars – one is a flat hobstar and the other is a triple miter, 8-point, clear-button hobstar. The larger ring has deeply cut hobstars separated with bands of crosshatching. The center of the bowl is filled with a circular, 32-point hobstar.

The bowl is in stunning, perfect condition. It measures 8″ wide. This is the quality of Bellevue and even rarer for a fraction of the price – a wise investment piece to be certain.

This is a great bowl by Egginton – while this piece is unsigned, I have seen this design signed Egginton more than once and it exhibits many of Egginton’s best technique.

My eyes are immediately drawn to the cascading tusks that run down the side of the bowl. Tusks were one of the most difficult and unusual cuttings of the period. This bowl uses these tusks so effectly – like a frozen waterfull – it’s particularly stunning. Large vesicas of crosshatching border each “waterfall.” Two graduating, richly cut hobstars come up from the center of the bowl which is also finished with a six sided hobstar.

The condition of the bowl is excellent, with only a few minor fleabites in the cutting. The blank on this bowl is exceptional-highlighting all the clear tusk work. It measures

This is one of the nicest cut glass miniatures I’ve seen. This is a  great looking pitcher with bulging neck and meticulous cutting. I believe because of the pattern and handle treatment, this is a piece of Hoare.

Three types of vesicas adorn on the outside of this pitcher. One features crosscutting, filled with crosshatching. Another vesica is filled with two types of notched prism and the final one is filled with cane cutting. Sitting between each vesica is a triangular, triple mitered button. The neck of this piece is gorgeous – it bulges and is adorned with punties. The lip and edges are fluted and the handle is fluted and notched. The base is finished with a rayed star. The depth with which this miniature is cut is impressively deep and skillful.

The pitcher is in excellent condition with just a minor amount of roughness in the cutting. It measures 3 3/4″ tall and 3 1/2″ wide.
