Collector's Club Photos



Welcome the Collector's Photos page.
Here is where we like to blow people away with really rare pieces of Opalescent Glass.
The pieces shown here are currently in private collections. I am honored to be able to show them.
If you have a piece in a rare shape or color, email it to me and I'll show it on this page for all
collectors to see and drool over. Enjoy and "Good Hunting"!





This is a Jefferson "Block" pattern Jack in the Pulpit Bowl in Cobalt Blue Opalescent.
Currently there are only two of these known to exist.



I had to do a double take when I found this. This is a Jefferson "Many Loops" bowl
in Amethyst Opalescent. Aside from one shown in the late Bud Ashmore's collection,
this is only the second one known to exist.

Extremely rare coinspot pattern by Dugan in the Ribbon Tie mould.
The only known Opalescent pattern used for the Ribbon Tie mould
was Spanish Lace. What a treat to show this extremely rare piece
in Coinspot, and in Cranberry no less.

These Victorian era Straw Jars are the only two complete jars (with covers) known to exist in Blue.
The "Chrysanthemum Swirl Varient " jar on the left was made by Northwood.
The "Swirl Opalescent" jar on the right was made by the "West Virginia Glass Company".
Because these jars sat on marble counter tops in soda parlors, the covers were easily broken,
and today they are all but impossible to find. The Northwood jar is the earliest known Straw Jar
made, circa: 1888. This was the same time Marvin Stone invented paper straws.

Here are a couple of very rare Barber Bottles in Green Opalescent.
The one on the left is called Blown Drapery, and the one on
the right is called Spanish Lace. Both were made by Northwood.
