These pretty French crystal seals are sitting on a frosted base that looks like smooth ice.

They are made by Cristal d’Arques.

They are from the Boutique collection and they stand about 5 1/4 inches high.

Made of 24% genuine lead crystal they sparkle and glow in the light so beautifully.

A great addition to any crystal figurine collection.

Thanks for stopping by!

We have several styles of blown glass eggs in our Art Glass category in the store.

They are most beautiful when held in the light and are perfect for sitting in a window for the sun to shine through them.

Each one is unique as they are blown glass.

Solid and heavy they also make great paperweights.

They are great collectibles for those who love eggs and those who love blown glass.

Made by Villeroy and Boch, this unique bottle stopper is in the shape of a soccer ball.

It has clear and frosted crystal panels that represent the white and black panels on a soccer ball.

It is made of lead crystal and it has a rubberized band to ensure an air-tight fit.

Brand new in the box, it would make a great gift for one who loves soccer and wine!

I am turning to my readers for some help with this post.

We picked up some vintage Avon items this past weekend, and included in the box were some of these wine glasses.

I believe they are an Albee Award item that was given to select top sellers back in the early 1970’s.

I have searched the internet, ebay, and various other auction and collectible sites, and I am not finding anything at all about them.

I want to get my facts straight before I post anything online for sale - I don’t want to mislead anyone.

If anyone has any info or is familiar with these etched glasses, I would be most appreciative if you would contact me.

Clicking on the photo will bring you to a larger sized one that shows much more detail.

I thank you very much!!

We only have a couple of these beauties left.

Ballroom dancers made of beautiful Italian crystal.

This couple is titled: Bolero.

They stand approximately 10 1/2 inches tall.

Gracefully posed and formed, they are most beautiful when held in the light.

Thanks for stopping by!
