Bob Banford Strawberries with blooms lampwork paperweight. No damage or wear 3.25" wide x 2 5/8" tall.American paperweight artist Robert “Bob” Banford (1951– ), together with his father, Raymond Banford (1918–2003), developed a mutual interest in paperweights while Bob was a teenager. Bob received a torch as a high school graduation present from his father in 1971 and apprenticed for a year as a scientific glassblower while teaching himself how to make paperweights. After the Banfords produced their first saleable weights in 1973, they formed R. Banford, Inc. in their native New Jersey, where they made and sold their own paperweights and art glass, in addition to antique paperweights. Banford retired from weight making in 2006 and resides in the Florida Keys.

Baccarat del XIX secolo non firmato. Piccole scaglie sul bordo del piede rettificato, nessun'altra scheggiatura, crepa o restauro.TW214Le bottiglie da barbiere facevano parte della cassetta degli attrezzi del barbiere. Queste bottiglie uniche contenevano shampoo, tonici per capelli e schizzi per il viso. Il barbiere poteva acquistare una grande quantità di prodotti caratteristici o inventare la propria ricetta e riempire le sue bottiglie. C'erano molti stili e forme di queste bottiglie. Una grande varietà di colori, decorazioni floreali smaltate e design unici hanno reso queste bottiglie molto attraenti mentre venivano posizionate sullo scaffale. La famosa artista Mary Gregory con le sue scene smaltate di bambini piccoli sono oggi molto apprezzate dai collezionisti. Erano disponibili esempi di vetro pressato e tagliato insieme a bottiglie personalizzate opache su richiesta. Le bottiglie personalizzate avrebbero il nome del barbiere o il nome di un ottimo cliente sopra con una sorta di disegno o immagine dipinta sopra. C'erano anche bottiglie con etichette applicate. Questo era un sottile strato di vetro che copriva l'etichetta. Molte delle prime bottiglie erano soffiate a mano con una base a pontile e un labbro applicato o tranciato. Queste bottiglie sono state prodotte negli Stati Uniti e importate dall'Europa. La maggior parte delle bottiglie in stile fantasia non erano in rilievo, ma ci sono alcune eccezioni. La T Noonan & Co. Barber Supplies Boston, Massachusetts, ha impresso il nome sulla base di alcune delle bottiglie. Le bottiglie da barbiere erano molto richieste tra il 1880 e l'inizio del 1900. Nel 1906 il Pure Food and Drug Act del 1906 limitava l'uso di sostanze a base di alcol in contenitori senza etichetta e riutilizzabili. Ciò ha reso queste bottiglie non più utilizzate per lo scopo originale. La domanda diminuì ma la loro produzione continuò fino agli anni '20.

Nessuna crepa, scheggiatura, restauro o usura significativa.Steuben Glass è un produttore americano di vetro artistico, fondato nell'estate del 1903 da Frederick Carder e Thomas G. Hawkes a Corning, New York, che si trova a Steuben Contea, da cui deriva il nome dell'azienda. Hawkes era il proprietario della più grande azienda di vetro tagliato che allora operava a Corning. Carder era un inglese (nato il 18 settembre 1863) che aveva molti anni di esperienza nella progettazione del vetro per Stevens e Williams in Inghilterra. Hawkes acquistò i pezzi grezzi di vetro per la sua officina di taglio da molte fonti e alla fine volle avviare una fabbrica per realizzare lui stesso i pezzi grezzi. Hawkes convinse Carder a venire a Corning e gestire una fabbrica del genere. Carder, che era stato ignorato per la promozione alla Stevens and Williams, acconsentì a farlo.tw210

c1920 Argy Rousseau Pate De Verre Bowl in the Ivy Pattern signed G.Argy Rousseau. 3.5" tall x 4.5" wide at the rim with no cracks, chips, or restorations. Gabriel Argy-Rousseau is produced wonderful works of pate de verre art glass from about 1914 until 1937. Somewhere between 200 and 300 different designs have been recorded by researchers. Scholars believe that between 15,000 and 20,000 total pieces of art glass were produced by G. Argy-Rousseau. That is a relatively small production and it has made some pieces of his work very rare today. Please do not make the assumption that Argy-Rousseau was just a studio glass maker. He was the main creative force behind the glass, but it was in fact a large production. There were at times as many as 20 employees. G. Argy-Rousseau glass was sold all over Europe, in The United States, Latin America, and even in North Africa. It is partly because of this extensive original sales network that his glass can be found all over the world today. The importance of Argy-Rousseau was two-fold. First, it was completely unlike anything glass makers were producing at the time. And secondly, while others started trying the same styles, no one else was ever really able to make anything consistently more appealing or better. So not only was Argy-Rousseau the first, he was also the best. That is a feat that is rarely accomplished in the arts. Below is a brief timeline of Gabriel Argy-Rousseau and his life accomplishments: 1885 – Born in Meslay-le-Vidame, France 1902 – Attends Ecole de Serves 1906 – Graduates from Ecole de Sevres with an engineering degree 1913 – Marries Marianne Argyriades 1914 – Opens his first studio and displayed his original art glass 1921 – Forms firm with Gustav Moser-Millot to market Argy-Rousseau’s art glass 1923 – Generally considered to be the peak of his work 1931 – Moser-Millot liquidates firm marketing Argy-Rousseau works 1932 – Argy-Rousseau starts a new glass making venture 1937 – Closes the mostly unsuccessful new glass operation 1953 – Argy-Rousseau passes away tw191

The large adult Father Penguin, a 1970's design by George Thompson<br>is 3.75" tall (9.5cm) while Mother Penguin is 3" and leaning forward<br>protectively. The penguin "Hatchling" and penguin "Fledgling" are 2.75" tall. <br>My consignor paid $1900 for this set, I'm pricing them more reasonably as she is<br>trying to liquidate her assets.<br>Steuben Glass is an American art glass manufacturer, founded in the summer of<br>1903 by Frederick Carder and Thomas G. Hawkes in Corning, New York, which is<br>in Steuben County, from which the company name was derived. Hawkes was the owner<br>of the largest cut glass firm then operating in Corning. Carder was an<br>Englishman (born September 18, 1863) who had many years' experience designing<br>glass for Stevens & Williams in England. Hawkes purchased the glass blanks for<br>his cutting shop from many sources and eventually wanted to start a factory to<br>make the blanks himself. Hawkes convinced Carder to come to Corning and manage<br>such a factory. Carder, who had been passed over for promotion at Stevens and<br>Williams, consented to do so. In 1918, Steuben was acquired by Corning Glass<br>Works and became the Steuben Division. In July 2008, Steuben was sold by Corning<br>Incorporated for an undisclosed price to Schottenstein Stores,[2] which also<br>owns 51% of Retail Ventures, a holding company for DSW, Filene's Basement, and<br>formerly Value City Department Stores; Value City Furniture, which changed its<br>name to American Signature Furniture; 15% of American Eagle Outfitters, retail<br>liquidator SB Capital Group, some 50 shopping centers, and 5 factories producing<br>its shoes, furniture and crystal. On September 15, 2011, Schottenstein announced<br>it was shutting down Steuben's Corning factory and Manhattan store, ending the<br>company's 108-year history. Soon after, Corning Incorporated repurchased the<br>Steuben brand. In early 2014, The Corning Museum of Glass announced that it<br>would work with independent contractors to reproduce Steuben using a new,<br>lead-free formula and their classic leaded crystal. Carder period<br>(1903-1932)[edit] Steuben Glass Works started operation in October 1903. Carder<br>produced blanks for Hawkes and also began producing cut glass himself. Carder's<br>great love was colored glass and had been instrumental in the reintroduction of<br>colored glass while at Stevens and Williams. When Steuben's success at producing<br>blanks for Hawkes became assured, Carder began to experiment with colored glass<br>and continued experiments that were started in England. He soon perfected Gold<br>Aurene which was similar to iridescent art glass that was being produced<br>by Tiffany and others. Gold Aurene was followed by a wide range of colored art<br>glass that eventually was produced in more than 7,000 shapes and 140 colors.<br>These are a pair of handblown Steuben gold Aurene glass candlesticks designed by<br>Frederick Carder for the Steuben Glass Works, ca. 1913. (From a private<br>collection in Manhattan, New York.)Steuben Glass Works continued to produce<br>glass of all sorts until World War I. At that time war time restrictions made it<br>impossible for Steuben to acquire the materials needed to continue manufacture.<br>The company was subsequently sold to Corning Glass Works and became the Steuben<br>Division. Carder continued as Division manager without any real change in the<br>company's operation except that he now had reporting responsibilities to Corning<br>Glass Works' management. Corning's management tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to<br>limit the articles that Steuben made to only the most popular. Production<br>continued until about 1932. In 1932, there was a major change in Steuben<br>management. The nationwide depression had limited the sale of Steuben and there<br>was a lessening of public interest in colored glass. In February 1932, John<br>MacKay was appointed to Carder's position. Carder became Art Director for<br>Corning Glass Works. Steuben then produced primarily colorless art glass.<br>Steuben still produced colored art glass, but mostly to fill special orders. A<br>few new colors were added after Carder transitioned into his new role with<br>Corning Glass Works, but the last known sale for colored art glass by Steuben<br>was in 1943. Houghton period (1933–2012) An example of Steuben Glass design<br>during the Houghton era is the Balustrade Candlestick set, which mimics a<br>classical balustrade. Of special note is the hallmark of the perfectly formed<br>tear drop air bubble suspended in the design.Corning Glass Works<br>appointed Arthur A. Houghton Jr. as President in 1933, and under his leadership<br>Steuben changed artistic direction toward more modern forms. Using a newly<br>formulated clear glass developed by Corning (referred to as 10M) which had a<br>very high refraction index, Steuben designers developed beautiful, fluid<br>designs. Pieces such as Gazelle Bowl, designed by Sidney Waugh incorporated Art<br>Deco and modernist themes into glass. The themes during this period included<br>"balustrade" designs for water goblets and candlesticks, footed bowls and<br>serving pieces. Decorative forms included wildlife pieces representing owls,<br>penguins and other birds in smooth stylistic forms. Some pieces, such as the<br>Ram's Head Candy Dish, playfully included clean lines crowned by an ornate<br>design (a ram's head, complete with a ruff) on the lid as an homage to its<br>classic earlier pieces. The company also entered into the field of larger show<br>and presentation pieces celebrating various scenes (such as its cut-away design<br>featuring an Eskimo ice fisherman above the ice, and the fish below, or the<br>Cathedral Window design) and elements that incorporated etchings. In some cases<br>sterling silver or gold plating were used on metal finish elements such as the<br>golden "fly" atop the nose of a rainbow trout. Each piece is signed simply with<br>"Steuben" on the underside of the object. Toward the 1990s, the company also<br>began production of small objects—"hand coolers"—in various animal shapes. Items<br>from this period were also noted for their careful and elegant packaging.

Maurice Heaton(1900-1989) 16" Mid Century Modern Enameled Art Glass Charger. No<br>cracks, chips, restorations, or scratches. Guaranteed authentic, great piece of<br>art glass by well listed artist that has works in all the big museums.<br><br>Maurice Heaton grew up with two generations of English glass artists and began<br>experimenting with flat and molded glass as early as 1930.

Heaton’s<br>work spans seven decades, and through his unique range of murals, window<br>hangings, lighting fixtures and tableware, he is considered by many a “true<br>original” (Neues Glas, April 1985).<br>tw177
