AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A spectacular, sizeable and extremely heavy 16-piece collection lot of high-quality vintage glass (total weight over 7.5 kilograms!).

A unique, carefully curated mix of industrial petroliana advertising, rare UV-reactive glass and iconic barware from the previous century.

The lot consists of the following 16 objects:

Rare Uranium- & UV-Reacting Glasses:
* 5x Large Altmeister Urtyp Export Beer Glasses (1950s/1960s)
Gorgeous early hand-blown tulip models with a gold-colored lion relief. Made of uranium glass
(annagreen) and glow intensely neon-green under a UV lamp. Height: 19 cm | Diameter: 6 cm |
Weight: 169 g - 179 g (craft weight variation).
* 1x Vintage Pink 'Rosaline' Diamond Glass / Tumbler (1960s/1970s):
Ambience glass with a deeply impressed waffle/diamond pattern. Responds surprisingly under the UV lamp due to early metal oxides. Height: 10 cm | Diameter: 7.5 cm | Weight: 198 g.

Industrial Petroliana & Bar Advertising:
* Monumental Advertising Ashtray "Esso - Gas" (Horne, Belgium, 1960s):
An extremely heavy, solid turquoise-pressed glass block with historical advertising print for A. Delcroix- Surain. Diameter: 15.5 cm | Height: 9 cm | Weight: a whopping 2815 g!
* 3x Grant's Whisky Highball Glasses (1970s/1980s):
The iconic 'Vegas' model with vertical facets. Fun historical detail: the brand name 'Grant's Scotch Whisky' is mirrored on the underside, so the text becomes perfectly legible only when one looks 'deep into the glass'. Height: 13 cm | Diameter: 6 cm | Weight: 163 g - 175 g
* 2x Vintage Whisky Advertising Glasses (1970s/1980s)
Consisting of a Johnnie Walker tumbler with The Striding Man (240 g) and a tall Dewar's "White Label" long drink glass with a Scottish Highland cattle (198 g)

Art Deco & Vintage Design Uranium Glass
* Bohemian Art Deco Sauceboat / Creamer (Czechoslovakia, 1930s)
Olive-green/smoke glass with a crisp geometric band-relief and fixed saucer. With original stamp on the bottom reading "Czechoslovakia". Diameter: 9 cm | Height: 5 cm | Weight: 411 g
* 2x Art Deco Step-like Bowls (in the style of Aino Aalto / Iittala)
Bowls with horizontal ring-relief.
- Large: Ø 22 cm, 716 g (shows minor surface scratches from use).
- Small: Ø 16 cm, 275 g
* 2x Vintage Crystal Glass Bonbon / Dessert Plates (1930s-1950s)
Elegant small plates with a deeply impressed star- and fan-relief. Diameter: 10 cm | Height: 1.5 cm
Weight: 70 g & 73 g
* 3x Heavy Wax candle / tealight holders (1970s)
Rugged, thick-walled pressed glass. The smallest glass shows a soft amethyst glow.
Weights: 405 g, 356 g and 224 g

Condition
The objects are in good to excellent vintage condition. Fully intact: absolutely no chips or cracks. The large stepped bowl shows normal light interior scratches from use, inherent to age. Everything looks lovely green under a UV lamp/black light.

Shipping
Given the enormous total weight, this lot will be packed extremely securely with plenty of bubble wrap and shipped insured only with Track & Trace. Pickup is of course possible as well.
