WOW, I am on a picking roll this week. I went to my favorite estate liquidation place today 12/31/21 and purchased these two beauties with original stoppers for just $32 each! Pinch me.....
WOW, what a way to start the new year. I went back to my favorite estate liquidation place (my honey hole) on the day it reopened 1/2/22 and like three days ago found Boston and Sandwich glass on the shelf next to cheap pressed glass. I purchased these two beauties for just $9! Pinch me again.
On the left (pic1 and pic2) is an early pontiled Boston & Sandwich diamond patterned tumbler. At 5 1/2" tall and 41/2" wide it is quite an impressive piece and rings like a bell. In picture 4 it looks great next to the matching B&S decanter I bought 3 days ago. Incredible!
On the right (pic 1 and pic3) is a rare later Boston & Sandwich hand etched "roman key and stars" pattern decanter. As best I can determine this is a water decanter and never had a stopper. The bottom is flat with a sunburst pattern.
