Among the Items for Sale by ANTIQUE GLASSWORKS Here in Corning Are These Two Plates. Sale Items Are Available Only to AG Members and Can Not Be Shipped. (Potential buyers often use local surrogates.)

Shown: Two 7"D dessert plates cut by T. G. Hawkes & Company in the early to mid 1890s, together with a modern Chinese cut-glass paperweight of optic lead glass. The plates, in the Venetian and Gladys patterns, are in excellent condition and are typically priced at $250 and $125, respectively. The Venetian pattern is considered rare.

The completely faceted paperweight is not for sale by AG but is widely available nationally, usually for $10 to $20, depending upon its size; discounts are usually offered. This contemporary weight is from China and is being made in various colors; quality is high (Image: JMH).
