I'm delighted to announce
that the long wait is over and at last all three pages of over 180 beautiful,
quirky and in some cases quite rare antique miniature glassware items are up
for sale!
This
collection has belonged to just one person, amassed over 50 years, but sadly
for that owner it has been necessary to downsize her treasures. I now
have the wonderful task to find a new home for every single piece.
All
arrived carefully wrapped in 16 individual trays, so for ease they will be
listed and referenced in the order of each tray, not by value or date. So do
please scroll right through all three pages of the collection, as you will find
some rare and exremely old glassware right to the very end!
To be honest, I
have never seen, let alone handle some of these gorgeous items before which has
made the task even more exciting!
I am informed by the
previous owner that the collection generally dates from c1800s to c1930s. Where
known from information given, I have stated possible dates but antique glass
can be extremely difficult to date, so all information has been given in good
faith only and if you are a prospective purchaser, please study the photos and
description carefully to ensure that these items will be suitable for your
needs before ordering. Many of these antique pieces have not been perfectly
formed in the same way as modern glassware, so please note that some slight
imperfections may be present, which simply adds to their wonderful character!
Thank you to everyone who
have been contacting me with regards to this collection since my last
newsletter went out and my apologies for the huge delay but photographing and
listing these beauties have taken much longer than I ever anticipated. To be
fair to absolutely everyone, all items will be sold on a first come, first
serve basis. There is a highly visible constant main link on the Home
Page and which will stay in place until much of the collection is sold, then the plan will be to amalgamate
what is left of the collection within the main antique/vintage pages.
If you would like to order please email
rather than ring if possible. I will reply back to you as soon as I can. Please
state exact reference
including the tray as stated on the listing eg.Ref:TRAY 13 - Set Of Four Green
Goblets, otherwise confusion will ensue.
Even if you don't wish to
purchase any of the items, I hope that you will still enjoy taking a peek.
Regards
Celia
