Fantastic art glass at Magnum Auctions promises beauty for all Dec. 9-10

Vaseline Greentown Rose Garland Victorian Water Pitcher, $1,000-$2,500 at Magnum Auctions.

UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio — Magnum Auctions has announced a two-day Deck The Halls with Antiques sale for Saturday, December 9 and Sunday, December 10, featuring a stellar lineup of art glass from nearly every possible category, much of it in fine or better condition. With more than 880 lots in all, the two catalogs are now available for bidding at LiveAuctioneers.

One of the sale’s star attractions is a vaseline Greentown rose garland pattern water pitcher. As the catalog’s humorous notes say, “How many are out there, folks? What an exciting find!” At 8.5in in height, the pitcher carries a $1,000-$2,500 estimate.

Described as “excellent,” a Meriden silverplate and amberina double-cherub bride’s basket centerpiece features beautiful color and terrific condition for a vintage art glass item. It is estimated at $900-$1,500.

Dating to 1905 and the pride of Martins Ferry, Ohio, Fenton art glass is an enduring symbol of American design. This Fenton ‘buttons and braids’ amythest opalescent glass water pitcher is undated and stands 9.5in tall. It has a $600-$1,200 estimate.

Rounding out the art glass highlights is a Victorian water pitcher in blue opalescent glass with a floral eyelet design. Described as “very rare,” it is estimated at $1,500-$3,000.

Glassware shattered expectations at Magnum Auctions

Greentown McKee chocolate glass two-headed chick dish, sold for $6,750 ($8,100 with buyer's premium) at Magnum Auctions.

UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio — The only known copy of a Greentown McKee two-headed chick dish blew past its upper estimate at Magnum Auctions‘ two-day Fall Harvest of Antiques sale September 9-10 (Day 1, Day 2).

Greentown glass is highly sought after by an avid collecting base, thanks to the wide and whimsical variety of the glassware from Greentown, Indiana. Chick dishes are a popular variety, but the example sold by Magnum for $6,750 ($8,100 with buyer’s premium) is apparently unique: the dish’s chicken lid features not one but two heads. It had been estimated at $2,500-$4,500.

Fine examples of vintage glassware dominated the sale. A pair of Boston Sandwich vaseline glass dolphin-form candlesticks had been estimated at $300-$500 but hammered at $1,900 ($2,280 with buyer’s premium).

J. Hoare & Company was located in the capital of American glass — Corning, New York — with high demand for their items today. This sterling whiskey jug, attributed to J. Hoare with a Gorham Sterling stopper, was estimated at $200-$400, but fierce bidding between the internet and floor drove the final price to $1,900 ($2,280 with buyer’s premium).

The Imperial Glass Company of Bellaire, Ohio perfected the creation of glassware without molds in the early 1920s. Its Imperial Freehand line featured hand-crafted items, no two the same. A drag loop ruby irridescent onionskin vase that retains its original manufacturer’s label sold for $2,800 ($3,360 with buyer’s premium) to an internet bidder. It had been estimated at $600-$1,000. An Imperial glass green and gold luster drag loop bowl brought $1,900 ($2,280 with buyer’s premium) against a $300-$600 estimate.

Yet another strong performance was seen with a Victorian Tufts silverplate cherub vaseline glass boat relish, hammering at $2,600 ($3,120 with buyer’s premium), far above the $300-$600 estimate.
