Glass forms a key part of the decorative art market and we are proud to represent the medium through a specialist sale devoted to the craft. From 18th century table glass through to expressive studio glass creations, each period contains a myriad of glassmakers and styles that have become established markets in their own right. Sworders has handled a number of important collections and conducted several significant sales, with particular highlights being Paolo Venini’s ‘Murrine a Damo’ vase at £31,200 inc. fees, a Émile Gallé Persian-style cameo glass vase at £5,200 inc. fees, and a Bohemian enamelled beaker, attributed to Anton Kothgasser at £1,820 inc. fees.
