Glass

Whether it be 18th Century tableware, decorative Victorian, or post war design, glass features prominently in the decorative art market. Continual research has led to the emergence of new collecting areas such as the post war Czechoslovakian market with names such as Stanislav Libenský and Pavel Hlava generating stronger interest amongst buyers. Finer examples of each period are seen to be thriving. A recent auction highlight at Sworders saw an 18th Century ‘Export’ drinking glass sell for over £1,500 and at the other end of the scale, a design classic - the C1962 Pulcini bird, made at Vistosi and designed Alessandro Pianon realised £2,500.

Glass features regularly in our auctions throughout the year, including the Homes & Interiors, Fine Interiors and 20th Century Design sales. All lots are carefully catalogued by our experts and fully illustrated online to attract a global bidding interest.
