**The smaller piece is in mint condition, the larger one has a crack which you can see in the photo.

I'm certain the pieces were done in the mid 1800's and in England. They are beautifully done of hand cut glass, quite detailed and fine quality. I can not find any markings on either piece however, so would appreciate any information on the value.

Posted Sat, 08/21/2010 - 8:33pm by kitsune-kari
Category: 
General Antiques and Collectibles
Medium - What is the item made out of (e.g. "silver")?: 
Glass
Distinguishing marks or signature (e.g. artist's name, silver hallmark): 
Written various places around bottle: "Coca-Cola" (in plain text), Contents 6-FLU.OZS., Bottling Works Urbanna, Va. , 3574, root, 23. The bottle is green. It has bubbles inside the thick glass.
Date Period (Estimated date of item if known): 
Definatly earlier than the 1950's because my mother's mother has had the bottle a long time and my Mom was born in the 1950's.
Size and dimensions of this item: 
8 inches tall, 7 and a half inches in diameter around the base.
Weight: 
Not certain of exact weight but it is heavy for it's size because of thick glass.
Condition: 
Good
History: 
It belonged to my mom, and my grandmother. I'm not sure who owned it before that had it always been hers or had someone else owned it prior.
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png): 

This is a glass bottle that has been in my family a long time. It stands about 8 inches tall. The glass has a green hue especially at the bottom where the glass is very thick. The top is a crown top style and the bottle itself is in the style typical of the straight edged. Right along where the bottle tapers down at the bottom of the neck there is a ring that bevels out from the rest of the bottle like a rim going around. Below that is the inscription COCA-COLA Written in very plain and small non-stylized text. Below this says "CONTENTS 6-FLU.OZS." turnin the bottle around it says "BOTTLING WORKS URBANNA, VA. There is a seam going down along each side of the glass as well. This tapers down to a seam that goes around the bottom of the glass. On the bottom edge is written the numbers "3574" then "ROOT" then "23". Bubbles are inside the glass of the bottle and can be seen here and there along the inside of it. The glass is very thick. I thought it funny that Coca-Cola is written in plain text and right in the same size as the other lettering. Not sure if this is anything special or if it means it is some old knock of f brand. The bottle is very old.

This was purchased at "Gable's Department Store" established in 1880. The building this was placed in was built in 1888. This piece has been in the famiy for almost 100 years. I am looking for someone to give an opinion as to how old this really is? I've never seen anything like it. The flowers are illuminated by small bulbs when this is plugged in. It reads "Bologna, Italy" and "Salve" has been painted within a banner on the design.

I found this at a thrift shop. The glass is intact. The initial P H are at the base of the shade and on the base of the nightlight. There are no other markings on it. The decoration around the shade is an antique car going down a lane. The metal appears to be very soft but the lamp itself is very heavy.
