A stunning, large, and extremely heavy, cut crystal vase, designed by Jean Sala for the St Louis glassworks. In a classic Art Deco design, the body is of four diminishing conical tiers, with eleven deep vertical cuts running right up the sides, on a heavy square-cut foot. Jean Sala was one of St Louis' leading designers, who eventually became director of the glassworks during World War II. According to Carolus Hartmann's Glasmarken Lexicon, 1600-1945, the acid-etched mark (right) was used in about 1931

A set of six Venetian wine-glasses, the wrythen bowls supported by green leaves, on spiral-twist inverted baluster stems, with overall gold-leaf. From the general style, we think they date from about the 1930s
Sadly, the tip of one of the leaves on one of the glasses is missing (shown in the detail second from right, and again, outlined in red, in the detail at right), but this is more than reflected in the extremely low asking price. A single, modern Murano wine-glass of this quality could cost as much as the asking price for this entire set

A heavily-cased ruby-red vase of square section, hand-gilded and -enamelled, with applied coloured 'jewels'. From the glassworks of Josef Riedel in Polaun, Bohemia, circa 1900s
The vase is in generally good condition, with just one 'jewel' missing (arrowed in yellow at right) out of a total of twenty-four, which is pretty good for its age!

A Czechoslovakian Tango vase in a relatively less common cased turquoise colour, with the usual applied black rim. Tango pieces were very much a product of the 'Jazz Age' of the 1920s and 30s, and were made in all shapes, colours and sizes by various different glassworks, including Loetz, Wilhelm Kralik, Franz Welz, Anton Rückl and others. From the shape, we think this one is probably from the Kralik works

A large, spherical cologne-bottle, with overall intaglio-engraved floral decoration to both body and stopper, the neck-rim pulled down in three places to facilitate pouring. The pontil is round and polished. There are no marks to either the body or the stopper, but, from the overall shape and the style of the wheel-engraving, I am reasonably confident it is a product of Stuart & Sons
