Items depicted here are snapshots of a moment in time and do not necessarily reflect our present inventory. We invite you to telephone or email us (or interact with our Facebook page) for particular inquiries.

Glassware

Crystal and Clear Glass: Examples

We have an extensive range of clear and crystal glass items for your table, for displaying flowers, and for decoration. Many of these are quite affordable to any budget, complemented by beautiful and very special imported examples at the high end. Prices range from $4 and up.

Table display with Wexford, Thousand Line, Nescafé, and many others, along with some marigold Carnival glass.

Columbia by Federal Glass Company, circa 1938–1942.

Thousand Line (or, Stars and Bars) by Anchor Hocking, through 1965.

Waterford Waffle by Hocking Company, circa 1938-1944. Not to be confused with Waterford Crystal, which can have a similar waffle style pattern.

Pink, Yellow, Green, and other Color Glass

Madrid by Federal Glass Company, circa 1932–1939.

Reactive Glass

Some of our UV-reactive glassware, Vaseline and Custard glass, containing rare earth minerals which give a beautiful glow in sunlight. These items are safe to handle, display, and for short-term food use, being on the order of exposure levels as a banana or glass of milk.
