This week — The Green Room 💚
The curator gathers green glass in every mood, from deep bottle green and vivid emerald to soft lime and blue-green ombré. Sculptural vases, beautiful glassware and pieces for the table show how differently the same colour can catch the light.
This Week’s Feature Pieces
 Czechoslovakian Blue Green Ombre Vase Mid-century blue and green glass with an expressive free-flowing shape and a luminous layered colour gradient. |
 Empoli Bottle Green “Genie Bottle” Decanter A sculptural Italian mid-century decanter in translucent bottle-green glass, complete with its original pointed stopper. |
 Verreries Doyen Hock Crystal Glasses, 17 Belgian crystal hock glasses with clear tulip bowls and architectural emerald-green stems, a beautiful table-setting moment. |

Chapter 7: The Currency of Trust and Self-Belief
An Esias Bosch vase finds the right buyer through my own shop, while a market full of unexpected treasures and a difficult week remind me that trust is built one honest detail, one human connection and one steady step at a time.

🔎 Missing a Piece — or Hunting a Treasure?
I source in two directions. Missing a CorningWare lid, plate, or pattern piece? Use the replacement request.
Looking for something beyond the catalogue — artwork, brass pretties, a particular maker, or one very specific treasure? Use the unlisted treasure request.
Custom sourcing is a considered service. If you submit a request, please do so with the intention of purchasing when I find the right piece. That commitment allows me to give your search the attention it deserves, and helps me focus on treasures with a clear place in a considered collection.
