Set of Eight Vintage Blown Glass Animal Cocktail Stirrers with Box by Saxon
$450.00Charming set of eight vintage crystal glass cocktail stirrers/swizzle sticks by the elusive Saxon Glass Company Inc. of Brooklyn, New York (ca. 1950, USA).

Each stirrer features a unique handblown animal topper – delightful in their vibrant colors and elegant, figural forms, expertly handcrafted with intricate details on diminutive structures.
Stirrers appear perfect and unused; original box shows soiling/shelf wear consistent with age.
Each stirrer varies slightly in dimension, but all are roughly 9″ L x 1″ D x 0.5″ H
Box measures H: 1.5″ x L: 9.75″ x D: 9.13″

Set of Three Vintage Amber Glass Apothecary Bottles by Owens Illinois Glass Co.
$375.00Set of three vintage American amber glass apothecary/medicine bottles known as “Druggist’s Packing Bottles” coined by the Illinois Glass Company, an early producer in the US of these particular bottles.
At least two of these examples were manufactured by Owens-Illinois Glass Co. of Toledo Ohio, evidenced by the brand cypher present to the reverse of two of the three bottles (ca. 1930, USA).
Composed of ‘blown-to-mold’ glass, a method accepted as ‘hand-blowing’, exhibiting a smattering of bubbles within the glass itself (molds were incorporated in manufacturing and hand-finished). Further, amber glass was used to protect light-sensitive materials.
Minimal wear present (light scuffing). One bottle has a rough top edge (not damage or loss — the rough edge is smooth and occurred during manufacturing).
H: 13.5″ x Diameter: 5.5″

Set of Two “Febo” Floor Lamps in Glass and Marble by Roberto Pamio for Leucos
$22,000.00Set of two “Febo” floor lamps designed by Roberto Pamio and Renato Toso for Leucos – scarcely seen design due to its limited production. (ca. 1970s, Italy).
The floor lamp, the most impressive design of the “Febo” series, is composed of a black Murano glass dome shade with a banding of red, yellow, and transparent ‘reeds’ with a brass triple socket and stem, all supported by a conical Verona Marble base.
These visually and compositionally disparate materials have been successfully fused together to create a truly original design marrying form and function – the heft of the base provides stability while its peach tones and veined texture add a nice visual contrast to both brass and black glass.
The shades can be removed and tilted to diffuse the light accordingly.
Excellent, vintage condition – the brass stems have been polished, and the shades are nearly perfect sans two very light scuffs to one of the shades. The marble has no imperfections; the white lines and patches are naturally occurring within the stone.
Original Italian sockets, wiring, and plug (plug will be changed for US use, unless otherwise requested).
Each lamp takes three E14 bulbs – we are using three 30 Watt equivalent LED bulbs (warm/soft light bulbs used in the shorter lamp, daylight bulbs used in the taller for demonstration).
One of the shades retains the manufacturer’s label, and both brass sockets are branded “Leucos.”
The listing is for both floor lamps – one shorter than the other, but both shades are roughly the same size (due to the handblown nature of the shades, there are slight size disparities).
Taller: H: 57.5″ x Diameter: 12″ (shade height is 8.5″)
Shorter: H: 50.5″ x Diameter: 11.75″ (shade height is 7.5″)
Base Diameter: 9″
