This vase is incredibly sizable – carrying not only a significant amount of height, but also girth. The pattern also displays in an impressive manner is certainly comes off as one of the highest quality bowling pine vases. Hoare cut a few blanks like this and also used this rim and neck treatment, and that’s why I attribute this vase to them.

A deeply cut hobstar adorns the lower bout of this vase. It is surrounding on all sides by notched prism and fields of crosshatching. The notches prism meets in an “X” in the next portion of the vase and separates two flat hobstars as well. The neck is cut so elegantly with notched prism and giant, concave scallops. There couldn’t be a better way to show off the clarity of this blank. The rim is finished with 4 diamonds – two containing a parallel line cutting, one with crosshatching and the last with a fan.

The vase is absolutely stunning and extremely heavy and large. It measures 14″ tall and 7 1/3″ wide. It’s in perfect condition with the exception of a couple of tiny nicks hidden in the pattern.

This fork and spoon are cut in Dorflinger’s 1-1 Sultana pattern. Both are stamped Dorflinger. Most cut glass forks and spoons are in generic, plain patterns, but this is obviously a rarity because of the quality and seldom seen pattern.

The Sultana pattern is made up of alternating stars – eight pointed ones with clear button centers and flat ones with a fanned center. Each of these stars is framed by notched prism. The middle layer of the pattern is made up of concave windows. These give a full view to the air trap center of the handle. What’s particularly amazing about this set is they managed to continue the pattern entirely across the end of the handle – with the singular flower-type fan formation usually featured in the center of the pattern. Quite a bit of engineering and design went into fitting the pattern onto this seldom-seen form.

The handles are in good condition with some minor roughness from being rolled on a table – but not large chips or anything particularly noticeable. Each measures approximately 11 3/4″ long and 1 3/4″ tall. It’s readily apparent that Dorflinger spared no amount of effort in crafting this wonderful set.

This highly unusual vase was cut by Dorflinger in their Inverness pattern. The exact piece is pictured in their catalog reprint and can be seen in the last photo. The vase is imposing and heavy and the shape, with the fluted bottom, is something Dorflinger seemed to like to use on some of their nicest vases. This size was the largest that Dorflinger made, as evidenced by the catalog.

The Inverness pattern is split into three distinct sections depending on the vases curvy shape. The top flare features a hobstar cluster framed on either side by a long band of hobnail. The hobnail band is topped with what can only be described as a crossed cane cutting which is particularly unusual. The center or waist of the vase features a deeply cut 16-point hobstar. The lower curve of the vase repeats the top portion of hte pattern with the hobstar cluster. The flared base is fluted and notched. The base is finished with a rayed star.

This heavy piece is quite large measuring 15 1/8″ tall and close to 4 1/2″ wide. It’s in perfect condition with the exception of a few interior scratches at the base. The unique shape and high glass quality separate it from the pack.

This is easily one of the most impressive bowls I’ve ever had the opportunity to offer. It was cut by Hunt in their Avon pattern. The bowl is exceptionally thick, heavy, and sharp. In fact, it’s so sharp that it can only be recommended to hold the piece by the engraved border and not the keen underside. The weight of the bowl, combined with the sharpness of the cutting, is enough to break one’s skin.

The engraved border of the bowl is one that Hunt used on this pattern and their Diana. It features wild flowers linked together by a common stem. It is very high quality intaglio second to none-very similar to Tuthill work. The rest of the checkerboard style pattern is astounding. Deep, clear channels weave in and out of the entire pattern. This technique was surely difficult to achieve – especially at the depth shown on this bowl. Panels of hobstar and crosshatching alternate throughout the pattern while pyramidal miters cross one another. The rim of the bowl is finished in the unique scalloped and spiked treament that Hunt employed for this pattern.

I cannot possibly stress enough the quality of this bowl – the heaviness, clarity, thickness and sharpness is jaw dropping. It measures 9 1/4″ wide and 4 1/2″ tall and is in perfect condition. Easily one of the most impressive bowls to add to your collection.

This ladle was cut and signed by Libbey in their wonderful Neola pattern. I believe the Neola pattern to be on of Libbey’s best and I can only imagine a punch bowl in this pattern! Regardless of whether or not you have the matching punch bowl, this ladle holds its own or could be paired with another beautiful punch bowl. It’s a step above most ladles in that it has Gorham silver (most ladles are siver plated).

The Neola pattern lays out wonderfully on the ladle with two large hobstars on the top and bottom of hte piece. These hobstars are divided by the quintessential feathering that Neola is so well known for. The tip of the ladle is also topped with an 8-point hobstar. The silver portion of the ladle is quite nice as well – with a shell with a spout for the bowl portion.

The ladle is in good condition and measures 13 3/8″ long and 2 3/4″ tall. Non generic ladles with silver rarely come along and when they do, the prices soar. This is an opportunity for one of the better ladles at a very reasonable price.

Bergen’s Columbia pattern is already wonderful, but this piece takes it to an entirely different level. This very large roseglobe embodies so much skill and tasteful design, it’s astounding! Add to that that it’s 8″ in diameter and you have one of the nicest roseglobes in existence.

A large hobstar with a fanned center is displayed prominently on the top portion of the globe. This hobstar is flanked on both sides but one of the largest, clear tusks I’ve ever seen. The clear tusk runs from one clear button eight-pointed star. On the other side of the lower eight-point star the tusk is continued until it reaches four split vesicas. The continuity and sublime nature of the pattern arrangement is incredible. Four more eight-pointed stars fill up the field between the tusks as well. This roseglobe looks wonderful from every angle and thusly, I’ve taken many photos.

The piece is wood-wheel polished to perfection. It traps and radiates light in the most beautiful prismatic effect. The globe is in perfect condition save for some small scuffs to the clear tusks and one tiny fleabite to the crosshatched vesica. It’s extremely large, measuring 8″ wide and 6 1/2″ tall. Large roseglobes like this are rare to start with, but ones with cutting this nice barely exist.

The Neola pattern is easily Libbey’s most underrated pattern. Intense and thoughful cutting covers the entire surface of this bowl and it is a masterpiece. It is signed with the Libbey sabre.

The center of this bowl has an unusual 8-point star formation. Each of the points alternates with a clear button hobstar and a split fanned motif. The surrounds a richly cut hobstar. Four large wedding-cake hobstars are topped with a full burst of fan. A cross of feathering separates the large, wedding-cake hobstars. A smaller hobstar is perched between the feathered cross.

The blank of this bowl is wonderful and measures 8 1/4″ wide and 3 1/2″ tall. It’s in perfect condition with only a couple of fleabites. The cutting on the bowl highlights Libbey’s best and makes this bowl an extreme bargain in comparison of some more popular, but less well done patterns.

This is the best cider pitcher I’ve ever seen. It’s oversized, extremely heavy (nearly 7 pounds) and on the best quality blank. Add to that that it’s cut in Egginton’s rare, 1-1 Genoa pattern and you have a superlative example of Brilliant Cut Glass.  It is signed with the Egginton trademark on the base.

The Genoa pattern displays beautifully on this pitcher and what’s particularly nice is – because of the wide mouth you can view the pattern from both the interior and exterior of the piece easily. An enormous hobstar cluster, made up of 12 hobstars engulfing a larger central one covers each side of the pitcher. On every other smaller hobstar, there is a small field with crosshatching. The hobstar clusters are divided by two bands of cane flanking a chain of hobstars separated by large “X’ed” miters. This exact chain is repeated entirely on the handle of the pitcher making for complete continuity of the pattern. It’s breathtaking. The base of the pitcher is covered in a giant 24 split-point hobstar.

The pitcher is in wonderful condition but does have a flake to a miter on the base hobstar – obviously, this doesn’t affect how the piece displays. The piece measures just under 7″ tall. 6 1/8″ in diameter and weighs nearly 7 pounds! Again, the glass quality and cutting on this piece is unparalleled. If there is a better cider pitcher out there, I have not seen it.

This bowl, by William C. Anderson and the American Cut Company, is cut in their Fredricka pattern. This piece is on a particularly unusual crimped blank which also has a wonderful undulating rim. The blank on the bowl is extremely heavy and thick.

The center of this bowl has an enormous deeply cut 24 split-point hobstar. It’s breath taking – especially due to the thickness of the blank. The Fredericka pattern consists of 5-sided hobstars which are topped with strawberry-diamond cutting. These alternate with a 5-pointed star with a clear center. This 5-point star is topped with an enormous bursting fan – which fills out the very unusual edge of this bowl. The sides of the bowl bow in ever so slightly in an unconventional crimped fashion.

The bowl is in perfect condition on a beautiful, clear blank. It measures 9 3/8″ wide and 3 3/4″ tall.

If you’re looking at this page, you’re surely aware of how great the Queens pattern is. It’s consistently cut on the best blanks and the cutting is always precise, with the honeycomb chains highlighting the blank. What you may, or may not, know is how rare a goblet on this blank is. Most Queens stemware is very late, on very thin blanks which are usually of lesser quality. These however are heavy, brilliant pieces of which I’ve never seen another.  All of the stems are signed with the word “HAWKES.”

The queens pattern displays itself in a particularly lovely manner on these goblets. Two hobstars, graduating in size climb the bowl of the stem. Each is divided on either side with a chain of St. Louis Diamond cutting. These punties become virtual lenses multiplying the pattern exponentially when looked through. The neck of the stem is cut with a great amount of detail – tiny notching transforms into much larger notched prism as you travel up the stem. The bases of each stem features a 16-point hobstar.

The goblets are hefty and measure 5 3/4″ tall by 3″ wide. The blanks are phenomenal as one would expect from the Queens pattern. There are 6 goblets and they can be purchased as a group for $2100 or $375 per stem.

The Ducal pattern by Straus is one that I’ve only ever seen a few times. It’s easily one of Straus’s most skilled and unusual patterns as well – featuring 8 tusks which converge in the center.

This bowl, features four large wedding-cake hobstars on all sides. Separating each hobstar are vesicas which pair two, clear tusk surrounded by notched prism. The two tusks are connected by an 8-point star embraced on either end with fans. Clear tusks were one of the hardest motifs of the Brilliant Period to achieve-requiring the naked eye of the cutter to achieve their perfect, icicle-like roundness.  It’s also very neat how the Ducal pattern doesn’t center around a hobstar, it simply converges in the center.

The wood wheel polish on this bowl is extremely impressive – giving that silky, radiant feel to the entire piece. It’s in perfect condition and measures 9 3/4″ long and 3 1/2″ tall. The Ducal pattern is extremely rare-this is only the second piece I’ve ever owned and it’s likely I’ll never find another so don’t miss out on this fine example.

The North Star pattern is one of Hawkes’ most popular designs and for good reason. Its elegant approach and unique use of fanned star separates it from so many other typical patterns. The plate is signed in the center with the Hawkes trefoil logo.

The center of the plate features a rayed star with additional fans pointing inward towards it. The fans alternate with larger ones facing the exterior of the plate. Six hobstars, with rayed centers surround the perimeter of the pattern and are separated by starburst/rayed stars. The playfulness and contrast of lines in this pattern is extremely tasteful and sublime.

The plate is in perfect condition and measures 9 7/8″ and 1 1/4″ tall.  This plate exemplifies what Hawkes was able to achieve through innovative design – a clear leader of the Brilliant Period.
