For Sale is a hard to find piece of Art Glass made by The Steuben Glass Company of Corning, New York. The Item is a hand blown and engraved "Cruet" and it is done in the Verre de Soie Style of Art Glass. This was Frederick Carder's Favorite Glass. "Verre de Soie" literally means "Glass of Silk". The Cruet has some size to it as it stands 7 1/4" tall to the top of the Stopper and it is 3 1/4" in diameter at the bottom. The Cruet depicts a Milky Translucent White Glass throughout. Both pieces have a wonderful iridescence sheen to it. You can see beautiful hues of Fuchsia, Purples and Blues. When you rub this piece of glass across your face it has a very silky feel to it, thus the name "Verre de Soie" Glass of Silk. The Cruet is Wheel Engraved by Hawkes with the words "Oil" towards the top of the Bottle and "Vinegar" at the bottom. This is only on one side of the bottle. There is a Garland of Flowers and Leaves that are also wheel etched or engraved. There is a set of Flowers on the front and back. These are separated by the long Vine of wheel cut leaves. The stopper is also engraved on the top with the Floral Pattern. The Cruet is considered to be in very good to excellent condition. There are are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings to the bottom and the bottom of the bottle stopper has a very tiny flea nick. There are a scratches on the bottom of the bottle and this is typical of wear. The Cruet does display a counter sunk polished Pontil. This is the sign of a quality piece of Art Glass. The Cruet is signed in an Acid Etched Signature mark that reads "Hawkes". The bottom of the stopper also bears this signature as well. There appear to be some other writing below the bottle signature mark but I cannot make out what it says. I believe this to be similar in shape to number 3063 in the Steuben Catalog of shapes. This should be a new shape for the Steuben Club to index. It is not quite the same as shape number 3063 but is very close. I will attach a link to the Steuben Club Website of shapes to show this below. http://www.cardersteubenclub.org/shapes/item-view.cfm?category=ShapeIndex&recordID=20455&back=1 Click on or copy and paste into browser to access Steuben Picture Archive This is an early piece of Steuben. Frederick Carder came over from England to Corning, NY and formed a partnership with Thomas Hawkes in 1903. Their new company was called "Steuben" after the county Coring was in. Hawkes did the engraving on the Glass and Steuben made the Glass blanks. Steuben Aurene Glass is some the Highest Quality Glass you can own. At the turn of the Century LCT Tiffany Studio's Favrile line was their main competitor and their fared equally as well creating some of the nicest Art Glass Vases the World has ever seen. These Cruets were used and most of them did not make it through. This Style of Bottle is very hard to find without damage. I am happy to report that this has only a Flea Nick and is considered insignificant! Those of you who collect Verre de Soie and want an excellent example do not let this one slip by you!! This piece was early in Steuben's Production as it was made, Circa 1903-1915.   « Less

For Sale a very nice Art Glass Tile made by Tiffany Studios, New York. This is the 5rd tile of a Tile Collection of 6 I bought. The Tile is a nice petite size as it measures 2 15/16" Square. This would be considered a 3" Square Tile. This Art Glass Tile displays an Arts and Crafts Four Leaf Clover raised design in the center. The Symbol of Good Luck. The Glass in this Tile is simply outstanding. The Mottling is Superb!! The Tile shows Red/Orange to Burgundy with Yellow/Green mottling coloring throughout. There is a Green/Yellow Geometric thin layer of color surrounding the exterior border. There is also a grain in the glass. It is a slightly raised swirl texture as pictured. The Glass is considered to be in very good to excellent condition as there are no cracks or any major chips. There is the usual tiny Flea nicks along the exterior edge. There are about a half dozen of these. These are on the top and bottom corners. Most of these are Flea nicks with the largest about the size of a pencil tip. My camera is 10X Power Zoom and make it looks worse than it really is. The tile is unsigned as is the case with these style tiles. The tile does display (4) Star Shaped Raised Glass teeth on a raised horizontally framed grid. This is as good as a Tiffany Signature and is unique to LC Tiffany Favrile method of making them. These teeth show some missing glass and is quite common as these points are quite Fragile. These tiles were used around Fireplaces and other Mosaic Type applications. This grid work on the back helped hold it to the grout and hold it in place when mounted. Taking these tiles out usually caused damage to the tile. This one is in surprising great shape and more than likely was removed with some ease. Tiffany Favrile Tiles in this Decor and Mottling are very hard to find. Tiles were some of the earliest glass items made by Tiffany Studios as he used them in his Decorating Business early on. These were made in his Corona, Long Island Factory. This tile was very early in Tiffany Favrile production. This Tile was made circa 1892-1900.   « Less
