Mercury Glass actually contains no Mercury; it is so-called for its appearance of silver under glass. It is double-hulled, blown glass with a solution of silver nitrate coating the interior. These large vases were made in Bohemia in the latter part of the 19th century. They are hand painted with a yellow and red bird above red and yellow enamel roses with dark green leaves. They have a classic baluster shape with a flared trumpet neck. The ribbing appears to be on the inside of the glass, as the outside is smooth, except for the interior of the trumpet rim, where the ribbing can be felt . There were once bands of black and yellow enamel encircling the vases. These bands have almost disappeared. Remnants of black enamel bands are on the trumpet tops. Beautiful and lustrous in appearance! Height: 12 inches. Base Diameter: 4 ¼ inches. Top Diameter: 4 ½ inches. Although unmarked, the Bohemian origin is conveyed by the feather-light weight of the glass. American Mercury Glass was made of flint glass, which is fairly heavy. English Mercury Glass was made of leaded glass, which was heavier still. These vases are in good condition, with no chips or cracks. The seals covering the pontils are missing. The silvered lining has eroded considerably; although the vases are still lustrous in appearance, when held up to the light, translucency is obvious. One vase is more translucent than the other. Much of the painted enamel decorations are worn off. There is a glass protrusion or knob on the interior top surface of one of the trumpet rims. This would be a fine addition to your art glass collection! Please ask any questions prior to offering to purchase. $15.00 Shipping quoted is for continental USA only.

For Sale is a lovely vase made by Fratelli Toso (Murano) of Italy. This Handkerchief Vase is a nice cabinet size as it stands 3 " (76.20 mm) tall and is 3 1/2" (88.90 mm) in diameter at its widest point. The Vase displays a squat form with a 7 ruffled top that is even or level at the top border. This was known as "Fazzoletto" or (Handkerchief) shaped. It is further decorated with vertical Pink and White Latticino Ribbon decoration that comes out from the Pontil underneath and rises to the top even border. These ribbons wrap around each other and look like a chain link. This strongly resembles Ribbon Candy. There is also a metallic speckled gold ribbon that divides each chain link shape ribbon and this is known as "Adventurine". This is right in the middle of each ribbon and was very hard to capture with my camera. The Vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There is a small Pontil Scar on the bottom. The Vase is not signed but the decoration is a well documented decor by Fratelli Toso (Murano) Italy done during the Mid Century Era. More than likely this had a paper label at one time. This Italian Art Glass Vase was made Circa 1950-1959. I was told by an Italian Glass expert this Style Vase is often Confused as being made by Venini. The difference between them is the way the top of the Vase is formed. The Venini Vases were pulled above the rim and not even like the Fratelli Toso ones. The Fratelli Toso are much Rarer than the Venini ones.   « Less

For Sale is a beautiful piece of Art Glass made by Legras of Paris, France. This is a beautifully Acid Etched Cameo Enameled Vase. The Vase has some size to is as it stands 7 3/4" tall and is approximately 7 1/4" in diameter at the shoulder. The opening at the top of the vase is 3 3/4" outside diameter. The Vase depicts wonderful pattern of acid etched enamel flowers in a Cranberry Red color. These are set against an acid etched frosted bark textured background. These Flowers in the vase resemble a Dogwood Tree in full blood. The detail is just wonderful as you can see the veining and the pistils in the Flowers.

The Vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings.

This Vase also has a countersunk polished pontil and fire polished top lip. This is the sign of quality piece of art glass. The Vase is signed "Legras" in a acid cut cipher along the front lower section. The bottom is also signed "Ovington New York France" in blocked acid etched letters just outside the pontil and into the pontil. This Vase was specifically made for the famous Ovington Retail Store in New York City at the turn of the century. This Pattern in this form is hard to find. This Vase is similar to those made by one of their Contemporary's of the day, Daum and Galle'. If this vase was made by Daum or Galle' it would be worth $3000-$5000. These were made to be able to be owned by the middle class. This Vase was made Circa 1900-1915. This is a brief History of Legras. In 1864 Auguste Legras took over the St. Denis glassworks and founded Legras. He was already an experienced glassmaker, and began producing a massive amount of glass in many commercial types and styles. The company was soon very successful. It was profitable enough for the family to take over the established Pantin glassworks in 1897. Somewhere around 1900, possibly at the great Paris Exhibition, Legras discovered Emile Galle, and Legras decided to seriously concentrate on producing art nouveau style glass, both Cameos like Galle and a wide range of other techniques. In 1909 Auguste retired and the company was taken over by his son Charles, who quickly started to focus on the early scent bottles being designed by Rene Lalique for Coty, getting a contract to produce some early ones before Rene Lalique was fully geared up to produce them. Like most French Glass makers, the Legras works closed between 1914 and 1919. After 1919 they quickly identified the need to move to Art Deco style production. Legras produced quite a range of different and original art glass. However a significant part of their production followed the styles of Galle, Daum, Moser, Rene Lalique, Schneider, etc. Sometime in the late 1920s, Legras' production of art glass effectively ceased.   « Less

There are also Two Lily Buds just to the left of the top two blooming flowers and 2 Buds to the right corner of the bottom Blooms. There are also sprigs of ferns in the background painted in Gold that give the artwork a wispy feeling of Spring in the air. There are also leaves with nice shading of Greens and Blue Greens throughout the pattern. These leaves are outlined in Gold.The pattern is predominately on one side of the Vase. The Mottled Gold Enameling along the top Border finishes this piece exquisitely. The Vase is considered to be in Excellent Condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. There is very minor gold enamel loss around the top rim as you can see that most of it is there. The beauty is in the Color and Enameling of the Vase.

This is the sign of quality piece of art glass. This Pattern is also hard to find. You commonly find the Iris and Lily but rarely find the Pansy Pattern. This is a brief History of Mont Joye Glass. Glass bearing the name «deVez», «Mont Joye», and «Pantin» was produced by the same company. E. S. Monot at La Villette near Paris founded this company in 1850. In 1859, known as «Cristallerie de La Villette» the company was transferred to Pantin, at that time a suburb of Paris and now a part of Paris. After F. Stumpf joined the company in 1868 it became «Monot & Stumpf». In 1873 Monot's son joined the company and the name changed to «Monot, Pere et Fils et Stumpf». About 1894 the company became known as the «Stumpf, Touvier, Violette & Cooye,» and the same company produced «Pantin». After WW1 merged with Legras & Cie. This is an extremely large Mont Joye Vase. You commonly find 6-8" Versions and sometimes you can find 10" ones. It is considered somewhat Rare to find one that is almost 12" tall. It was very common for these tall vases to get knocked over and broken. This one is NOT!! This Vase is in amazingly Great Shape for being 100+ years old. Mont Joye enameled glass was produced at the turn of the Century. It was extremely popular both in Europe and North America. This is an extremely large Mont Joye Vase.This type glass was of high quality and became very desirable among Fine Glass Collectors. This Vase was made Circa 1900-1915.   « Less
