Wicked!

Kool Pics Steve. In those first pics the glass really takes a back seat to the colors with night shots.

Bravo again Steve!

Great items and pictures, thanks for taking the pictures and sharing them with us. Those colors really do pop out at ya. All pieces are splendid but that tumbler with factory scene is righteous. Were a similar one to come on the market what would you estimate it would fetch, if you don't mind the question? Also, why are those vials called "bosom bottles"?

Stephen the tumblers sell for anywhere from with slight damage 50.00 up to a 1000.00 depending on the relief scene and the condition of the painting. Generally speaking about 250 to 500 dollars is about an average price. The bosom bottles contained a mixture of ingredients which included smelling salts which were the perfume of the day and quite strong. The ladies carried them between their breasts because these bottles are small 3 inches long by 3/4 inch round in a semi flattened ovoid. The closet thing the male populace carried would be their pocket flasks. If you ever get the chance to visit George Washington's adult life home Mount Vernon in Virginia check out Martha Washington's dresser in her change room as she has a bosom bottle which was made in New Jersey at Wistarburgh which was given to her while she was staying at Grumblethorp in Germantown now a part of Northern Philadelphia.

Baron Sewell or Baron Steve nah not a good ring to it Rick .[8D]

Thanks for the explanation!

And although the two-word title doesn't really ring, I think "Baron Von Steve" sounds pretty good! [8D]
