English 19th Century Glass Celery Vase
$250.009"H x 5.38"W x 5.38"D
Dimensions: 9” H x 5 ⅜” W x 5 ⅜” D
English circa 1860 handmade and etched glass celery vase. Before widespread refrigeration, celery was an expensive and exotic crop, necessitating a specialized type of vase to display the stalks as indicators of wealth. The tulip-shaped bowl of the vessel has straight, tall walls flaring out slightly at the rim. This example has been decorated with an etched illustration around the exterior (perhaps a stylized interpretation of celery or other foliate theme) giving it personality and flair even without a bouquet inside. A solid pedestal base elevates the vessel from a shelf or tablescape; note that due to the handcrafted nature it does have a slight lean.

18th Century Portuguese Altar
$2,650.0034.25"H x 18.75"W x 9.88"D
Dimensions: 34 1/4” H x 18 3/4” W x 9 ⅞” D
An exquisite work of 18th century Portuguese craftsmanship, this carved, painted, and gilded wood tabletop altar-niche would have been used to stage religious artifacts or statuary for display. Suspended from the red demilune crown is a highly-detailed carved finial like an artichoke with leaves forming a canopy, traced on the outer edges of the fascia with dentil molding and other patterns. The faux-marble backdrop enhances its rich visual depth (a classic expression of Italian and Iberian Baroque design) which creates movement, drama, and grandeur through elaborate ornamentation. Perhaps once part of a church interior, this niche was designed to enshrine a saintly statue, elevating its spiritual presence for one’s own devotion. Out of context and in a domestic space this work becomes a rare and striking piece of sacred art history on its own. Please view the detailed images to see the current condition.
