824-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 10, 2003 Q THE ANTIQUE DETECTIVE Anne Gilbert Many Types, Makers Of Cameo Glass Many names come to mind when “cameo glass” is men tioned. Among them the English man John Northwood, French makers Emile Galle’ and Au guste and Antonin Daum In America Gillinder and Sons, Bakewell, Mt. Washington and Northwood made their versions. The first examples of cameo glass were recorded in ancient Rome. The only remaining example is the “Portland Vase” with its neo classic figure subject. It is dis played in the British Museum. The technique was all but forgot ten until the Chinese began ex perimenting, combining wheel cutting and engraving on opaque glass. Today it is known as Peking glass. This overlay or cased glass, °( .f\ in two or more colors was in gen eral use in China by the early 18th century. But not until it was made in Europe in the mid-19th century, did it become known as Art Glass. The leading makers were in France, England and America. However fine examples were also being made in the vari ous glass making cities of Italy, Venice and Murano, among them. A version was also made in Bohemia. Basically the process involves taking two or more glass blank layers, blown and fused together. Next, the piece was placed in a hydrofluroic acid solution that removed the shine. Then, the glass was painted with a design and dipped once more into acid. The acid ate away the back ground, leaving the varnished section. The remaining design was was wheel-engraved or cut. 1855 Farm set - plow, disk, spreader, wagon w/barn box; Oliver 555 tractor, MM-G 1355 w/duals, #5O baler, pull type com picker, (4) sickle bar mowers, (2) transport disk, wagon, Hubley crawler 1960’s Ertl stake bed truck - I.H. backhoe, 77 w/man - no/box, 1855 tractors, old farm toys to restore. 1950’s & 6ft’s Oliver Toys - N. 1.8. 4 - 255’5, 4 -270’s, 4- WD’s, 2 - 135’s, 2 - 155’s, 2 - 180’s, 9700 white combines, heritage set, white pick-up trucks; white tractor desk & wall plaques, several of each of above tractors.

CLUES: In England John Northwood is one of the most im portant artisan. After many years of experi menting. he produced his first piece of Cameo Glass in 1860, using a neo-classical subject. His most well-known piece was the first replica of the Portland vase. It took him three years to carve it. His final work, done in 1882, the Pegasus vase, is consid ered his finest. Price-wise it went up and down over the years, be fore ending up in the National Collection of Fine Arts, Smithso nian Institution, in 1929. For the most part English Cameo Glass can be recognized by the “Wedgwood” type, neo classical subjects. Totally different was the American Cameo Glass of the 1880 s. It was the result of a new technique making transfer-print ed designs with acid-resisting inks. These were then applied to the glass surface before it was bathed in the etching fluids. The result was a small, raised cameo design. For the most part the designs were florals and foli w age. By 1880 Gillinder and Sons were making a few pieces. Wil liam L. Libbey of the New Eng land Glass Company developed a process using pressed and blown glass to create a cameo effect. What is considered the finest Cameo Glass was made in France during the Art Nouveau Period (1880s-1914). Using the then popular Oriental motifs, French glass artisans often com bined pieces with colored enam els and metallic oxides. Examples by Emile Galle’ and the Daum brothers can sell at auction for five figures. Of course, lesser pieces have sold for $5OO or under a thou sand dollars. Reproductions have been made since the 1970 s of Daum. Inferior pieces can have faked signatures. Although there are many other French Cameo Glass makers who worked at the same time, such as Leverre, De Vez and D’Argental, they sell for a fraction of the rec ognized “masters.” Don’t over pay for a piece just because it is cameo glass. The French always signed their pieces, unlike the English and Americans. A Rentzel’s Auction Service Blaine N.
