Item Details
Description
The AEAA is very pleased to present this next set of valuable Burmese (Vaseline) Carnival glass from the respected Loren (Butch) Morse collection. This Blush Burmese (Uranium) Rainbow Carnival Glass lot represents a RARE & Stunning LTD. ED. Gibson Glass hand blown, 1992 full lemonade set in the Heavy Iris pattern. This mint condition group features some of the deepest & finest hand blown relief we have ever seen! The set includes the tankard style pitcher & 6 matching tumblers, constituting one of less than 180 ever produced in this color, only in 1992. The full spectrum (rainbow) effect of this high gloss finish is simply spectacular, and whats more, THE SALTS ARE THICK AND UNIFORM. Our beautiful lemonade set explodes under black light, and our Rare & Extremely valuable Gibson hand blown treasure is in wonderful condition weighing 10# 5 oz. and the pitcher measures 8 x 5.75 x 12.75 inches tall. This Gibson group represents pieces from one of the last hand blown glass companies in the U.S. *** AFTER THE GIBSON CLOSING, IT APPEARS THAT FENTON GLASS TOOK A CASTING OF THE GIBSON HEAVY IRIS PATTERN, AND CREATED A MOLD FOR THEIR OWN SET, THAT SEEMS IDENTICAL, EXCEPT FOR THE ADDITION OF THE FENTON FLARED & CRIMPED RIM. We can find only one other identical set for sale on line, WITH AN ASKING PRICE OF $930!! Loren Morse was a respected family man and Vaseline collector, and his untimely passing a year ago was a blow to everyone. The Morse family gratefully appreciates your participation in this Estate sale. xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Charles Gibson started working with glass in the 1950s with different glass companies including Blenko, Indiana Glass and others. Gibson glass was opened in 1976 and closed one year later when Charles decided to Pastor full time. In 1985 Charles Gibson along with his son Phillip reopened Gibson glass, a small cottage industry glass shop in Milton, WV. He had previously worked at Blenko Glass, Biscoff Glass, and with Joe St. Clair Glass prior to starting his own shop. His specialties were paperweights, carnival glass and a line of fancy marbles. He also made some very nice Vaseline glass with heavy opalescence. They made limited edition cruets, ladys spittoons and perfume bottles (usually dated). Gibson also made the first convention piece for VGCI and it was the first 'marked' piece the club had made. It was a bulbous vase made into a spittoon shape. The factory closed in 2005, due to the failing health of Mr. Gibson, but the creative output had been such that the Osburn Modern Glass Co. was started in 2006 when Dave Osburn purchased the Gibson Glass Factory. Dave had also previously worked for Blenko Glass Company, and had 33 years of experience as a glass blower and designer. Osburn Modern Glass expanded their lines to include more than 100 items to choose from, including vases, baskets, bowls, pitchers, creamers, jugs, tumblers, mugs, glasses, decanters, ornaments, animals, paperweights and figurines. Pertinent data is listed below.
