For Auction is a beautiful Art Glass Salt made by The Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Company of Maspeth (Queens), Long Island New York. The Salt stands 1 1/8" tall and has a diameter of 2 5/8".

The Salt displays a gold Iridescence with very strong hues of Fuchsia on the outside and inside. When looking inside it is absolutely beautiful as you can see Platinum Blue, Purple, Green, and Strong Fuchsia tones. The piece changes in color as you turn it in the light. The Salt has Vertical Ribbing throughout and a very tiny raise and fire polished top lip. The salt was made to compete with L.C.T. Tiffany Favrile and Steuben Aurene Salts.

The Salt is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. This piece has a beautiful polished counter sunk pontil. It is signed on the bottom with the etched "Quezal" cipher as pictured.

Martin Bach Sr. was the founder of Quezal. He worked for L.C.T. Tiffany Studios from 1892-1902. The quality of his glass was as good as Tiffany, Steuben and Loetz. The Quezal Art Glass and Decorating Co was in business from 1902-1924. Quezal Art Glass pieces Rarely come up in today's market. They were more noted for their Art Glass Shades they produced by the tens of thousands. It appears that the collectors do not want to let these go. I'm quite sure the buyer will be very pleased with their purchase.

This salt was made, circa 1910-1915.
