COLLECTION OF VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE GLASSWARE - MIXED LOT

OVERVIEW:
A SUBSTANTIAL COLLECTION OF MIXED VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE GLASSWARE, PREDOMINANTLY FROM THE MID-20TH CENTURY, PRESENTED AS A SINGLE LOT. THE COLLECTION ENCOMPASSES DRINKING GLASSES, DECORATIVE VESSELS, AND FUNCTIONAL GLASSWARE IN VARIOUS STYLES AND COLOURS, INCLUDING DISTINCTIVE GREEN AND AMBER TONED PIECES, CLEAR GLASS ITEMS, AND BLACK-HANDLED DRINKING VESSELS. THE LOT DEMONSTRATES THE DIVERSITY OF DOMESTIC GLASSWARE PRODUCTION ACROSS MULTIPLE DECADES AND MANUFACTURING REGIONS.

SPECIFICATIONS:
- PRIMARY MATERIAL: GLASS IN MULTIPLE COLOURS AND FINISHES
- SECONDARY MATERIALS: BLACK PLASTIC HANDLES ON SELECT PIECES
- CONDITION: FAIR OVERALL, WITH INDIVIDUAL PIECES RANGING FROM GOOD TO FAIR CONDITION
- PACKING: ORIGINAL NEWSPAPER WRAPPING INDICATES CAREFUL STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
- LOT COMPOSITION: APPROXIMATELY 20-25 INDIVIDUAL GLASS PIECES OF VARYING SIZES AND STYLES

DETAILED CONDITION ASSESSMENT:
THE COLLECTION SHOWS EXPECTED WEAR CONSISTENT WITH AGE AND DOMESTIC USE. MULTIPLE DRINKING GLASSES DISPLAY MINOR CHIPS TO RIM EDGES, MOST COMMONLY VISIBLE ON THE INTERIOR RIM SURFACES. SURFACE SCRATCHES ARE PRESENT ACROSS VARIOUS PIECES, PARTICULARLY ON THE BASES AND LOWER SECTIONS WHERE CONTACT WEAR WOULD NATURALLY OCCUR. THE COLOURED GLASS ITEMS (PREDOMINANTLY GREEN AND AMBER TONES) RETAIN GOOD COLOUR SATURATION WITH NATURAL PATINA APPROPRIATE TO AGE. BLACK PLASTIC HANDLES ON CERTAIN DRINKING VESSELS SHOW DISCOLOURATION AND MINOR CRACKING TYPICAL OF MID-CENTURY PLASTIC DETERIORATION. NO MAJOR CRACKS OR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE OBSERVED. SEVERAL PIECES RETAIN GOOD CLARITY AND TRANSPARENCY. THE LOT HAS BEEN STORED WITH NEWSPAPER PACKING, SUGGESTING CAREFUL HANDLING, THOUGH THIS DOES NOT PRECLUDE MINOR HANDLING DAMAGE VISIBLE IN INDIVIDUAL PIECES.

NOTE: THIS IS A MIXED LOT COLLECTION SUITABLE FOR COLLECTORS OF MID-CENTURY DOMESTIC GLASSWARE, DECORATIVE GLASS ENTHUSIASTS, OR THOSE SEEKING FUNCTIONAL VINTAGE DRINKING GLASSES FOR DISPLAY OR USE. INDIVIDUAL PIECES MAY BE SUITABLE FOR RESTORATION OR CONSERVATION WORK. INSPECTION OF INDIVIDUAL ITEMS IS RECOMMENDED PRIOR TO BIDDING.
