Featuring Crystal, Depression Glass, Brass, and Other Household Items
This is the Crystal Shelf. Crystalware has been produced for hundreds of years by companies all over the world. Some of the finest came from Italy, and other parts of Europe. Here in America, several companies have also produced some very fine crystal, Tiffin Glass being one of them. Heisey, and Fostoria Glass Companies made some lovely pieces too. Crystal is produced by adding lead to the glass. The higher the lead content, the finer the crystal. Crystal glass gives off a distintive ring when gently tapped. The finer pieces hold the note longer then the glasses with a lower lead content. Crystalware comes in all shapes, from fine glassware to dainty hand-blown pieces of crystal art. On this shelf you will find different crystal pieces that I have in stock. This includes crystal art glass pieces, etched glass pieces, and crystal tableware, plus the odd piece or two. Cut-crystal pieces can also be found on these shelves.
Most of the items I sell are older pieces. I describe them to the best of my ability, but keep in mind that these are old 'used' items. They may have natural flaws such as air bubbles, straw marks, scratches, and/or wear from normal household use, etc.
I would like to share some of the lovely items I have come across with you. If you are looking for a piece like Grandma had, or just like to collect certain styles, or patterns, you may find them here.
Please note that all the information provided here is accurate to the best of my knowledge. However, I'm only human, and I can make mistakes. As I learn more about the origins and history of a piece in my collection, I will update the info provided here.
There are well over two thousand items in my collection, most of which are available for you to buy. Only a small portion of this huge collection is represented here, and I am constantly adding new items. So look over the items on this shelf, and if you see something you like, you can purchase it. If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, email me to ask about it, what you're looking for might just be tucked away in a corner of my closet.
You can pay for an item by Visa or MasterCard using PayPal.com. It's free to use and you will find a 'buy-now' button on each page. If you prefer to pay by check or money order, you can do that right from the page too.
Thank you for visiting my Website, and whatever you do, enjoy your day!
