Start price: £20

Estimate: £20 - £30

Buyer’s premium: 22%

A diverse collection of 20th-century decorative art glass, comprising various forms and techniques. The group includes a large turquoise glass vase featuring a bulbous body with deep optic vertical ribbing and a ruffled rim. Also present is a hand-pulled handkerchief-style freeform centerpiece bowl, constructed with a vibrant red interior and a white exterior decorated with fine vertical latticinio-style lines.

The assortment further contains a tall, slender green glass decanter with a matching clear glass stopper topped with a textured pinecone or flame-form finial. Minimalist forms are represented by a very tall cylindrical bud vase in opaque white milk glass. The collection features a suite of six aperitif or wine glasses, each with a clear bowl supported by a bright green stem and foot.

Additional glassware includes three large oversized brandy snifter-style glasses in cobalt blue and ruby red, alongside a cobalt blue tumbler and a clear glass with a flared rim and blue base. Small decorative accents include an amber-coloured folded glass dish and a frosted yellow-to-clear glass floral dish.

Several pieces bear temporary white adhesive labels. One on the green decanter reads 251, and another on the white bud vase reads 4385. These are inventory stickers and do not constitute maker’s marks. No permanent signatures or manufacturer marks are visible on the glass bodies.
