Jeremiah Lotton Multi-Flora art glass vase. 8 3/8" tall x 4.25" wide with nodamage or detectable wear. Shallow vase with convex bowl that makes it look really cool from up top.Jeremiah Lotton was born in 1982 into a family of successful glass artists. Fram an early age, Jeremiah was facinated with glass and learning the art of working with his hands to create beautiful things. At 13, Jeremiah worked in his father's studio learning to build and maintain glass furnaces. He also learned how to use glass and polishing equipment and began to gain a general understanding of how a glass studio functions. At 15, he began working with hot glass itself, and by 17, he had developed his own line of designs.Following in the tradition of his grandfather, father, and uncles, Jeremiah strives to produce the highest quality glass. These standards show through his designs and are evident in how quickly his is progressing. Being the first of the third generation, hold much responsibility. It is extremely important to Jeremiah that he lives up to the high standards associated with the Lotton name. Jeremiah continues to develop his talents by working at the bench daily creating new and exciting designs with increasing enthusiasm.

Ishmael Soto Austin Texas Studio Pottery Abstract Sculptural vase  11" tall, very substatial piece. This and a few other pieces I'll be listing are from the estate of local listed artist Jeanette Welty Chelf who was a longtime friend of Soto's going back to his years at the University of Texas. This piece has no cracks, chips, or restorations but does have a firing flaw going down half of the side which does not penetrate the interior, the interior is glazed, it holds water. Below is an excerpt from the artists eulogy. This is a good vintage piece from a local Austin estate“Ishmael’s passing is a loss for us all in the community,” said Sylvia Orozco, director of Mexic-Arte Museum. “He was a great human being, teacher and artist. Ishmael was one of the first, if not the first Mexican-American Austinite to become a professional visual artist.Soto won many prizes and was exhibited frequently in group and solo shows.A native Austinite, Soto earned his first degree from the University of Texas and his second from the famed Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. His 57th Annual Potters Show and Sale took place in December 2016. He taught ceramics at UT for seven years — one of the first Hispanics to teach in the art department — then at St. Edward’s University and Austin Community College for a total of more than 30 years..“He was a modest, generous mentor and major inspiration to many artists,” said his widow, Cynthia Leigh. “He taught thousands of students over his lifetime. Many of his students decided to become artists from his encouragement and support. He did not try to mold his students to imitate his work; he encouraged them to follow their own artistic path and draw on their own talents”isshelf

c1910 D'Argental French Scenic Cameo Glass Vase with Shepherd Scene 11.75" x<br>5.5". Incredible complex labor intensive piece of over 100 year old hand<br>engraved art nouveau French cameo glass with no issues or damage whatsoever.St<br>Louis had been and still is one of the great old glass houses of France; they<br>had gone to the Paris exhibition in 1900 expecting to be crowned king of glass,<br>only to be completely out-classed by the cameo glass of the ‘upstart’ Emile<br>Galle. In the early 1920s they were still trying to get their own back. Paul<br>Nicolas cut a deal with St Louis –he would make cameo glass for them using their<br>facilities and then also he could use their facilities to make cameo glass for<br>himself too. This was before the days of ‘studio art glass’ if you had a glass<br>kiln you were a major sized business, not a one-man-band. The pieces Nicolas<br>made for St Louis were signed a number of ways, but quite soon they settled on<br>‘D’Argental’ (the brand name they had established for their own previous,<br>unsuccessful attempts at Cameo glass). Nicolas sneakily added a cross of<br>Lorraine to the mark to indicate when he personally made a piece. When he made<br>Cameo for himself pieces were signed ‘P. Nicolas’ usually followed by<br>‘Nancy’.Production at St Louis clearly had its limitations, the crystal glass<br>they used, had a more limited colour palate than he was used to at Galle and the<br>extra toughness of the crystal glass meant internal polishing was effectively<br>impossible. But using crystal did mean the cameo and wheel cutting could be much<br>finer.B61

This and a few more Battersea pieces I'm listing have tags indicating they were last purchased at Sotheby's Parke-Bernet in the 1970's.Having already opened an office in New York, in 1964 Sotheby’s bought Parke-Bernet, America’s largest fine art auction house.Battersea boxes developed in the mid 18th century as tiny decorative containers covered with enamel or porcelain and decorated with pleasing designs. Originally the boxes were made of copper covered with white enamel, decorated with classical or scenes or portraits. They evolved over time to become more sentimental. The Battersea box got its name from a firm under the tutelage of Sir Stephen Theodore Janssen, Once Lord Mayor of London at York House in Battersea. The boxes were decorated by transfer printing, which took an impression from an engraved plate painted with enamel and printed on to the box which was then hand painted and fired. The firm existed only from 1753 to 1756 however other firms producing similar boxes, especially those in the village of Bilston, took up this technique. Battersea became the collective name for all such boxes. With advancements in the pottery industry due to the Industrial Revolution, Battersea boxes gradually fell from favour. Allowing small boxes to be produced at less cost than the enameled competitors made Battersea boxes decline significantly by the mid 19th century. They became popular again in the second half of the 20th century with the development of commemorative boxes produced for such well known firms as Tiffany & Co.

c1890 Thomas Webb Burmese cabinet vase. 3.5" tall with no damage or detectable wear, clean on all sides.Burmese glass is a type of opaque colored art glass, shading from yellow to pink. It is found in either the rare original "shiny" finish or the more common "satin" finish. It is used for table glass and small, ornamental vases and dressing table articles.It was made in 1885 by the Mount Washington Glass Company of New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. Burmese glass found favor with Queen Victoria. From 1886, the British company of Thomas Webb & Sons was licensed to produce the glass. Their version, known as Queen's Burmeseware, which was used for tableware and decorative glass, often with painted decoration. Burmese was also made after 1970 by the Fenton art glass company.Burmese is a uranium glass. The formula to produce Burmese Glass contains uranium oxide with tincture of gold added. The uranium oxide produced the inherent soft yellow color of Burmese glass. Because of the added gold, the characteristic pink blush of color of Burmese was fashioned by re-heating the object in the furnace. The length of time in the furnace will determine the intensity of the color. Strangely, if the object is subjected to the heat again, it will return to the original yellow colorisshelf
