Signed Quezal Art Nouveau 7" Vase w/Brilliant Stretch Rainbow Iridescence. Simple, undulating trumpet form showcases the spectacular color, and sits on a blown, ribbed foot. Signed & numbered in gold as shown. Quintessentially Quezal. Looks unused with no damage, repairs, or wear, & I'm super picky about condition. I'm listing some great glass, antiques, & pottery, and many pieces have not been on the market for almost 50 years. No reserves or make-an-offer, and while many pieces are unmarked, the quality and condition of everything is quite impressive. From a large, lifetime collection of wonderful art & antiques.

Many of the items I am selling were collected in & around Chicago over the past 50 years, including items from my shop (inventory & storage) that closed in 2001. I was born in Chicago, and have been collecting, buying, & selling since the 1970s. Chicago was filled with world class antiques until the 1980s, when international & New York buyers started to dominate the local scene with some pretty clever tactics. The big buyers had some stiff competition here, as the Illinois governor at the time (Big Jim Thompson), loved fine antiques (especially Tiffany), and knew all the Chicago auction houses & dealers, but the internet & 9-11 ended the Golden Age of antiques in Chicago, at least as far as auction houses, shows, & shops. Lots of great stories over the years, like Don Rose Galleries on Wells St., with several levels of furniture & floor to ceiling showcases packed with the best stuff. Champagne while you browsed, and higher prices for Tiffany than Lillian Nassau was charging in NY. Everything was seized by the Federal govt. in a drug/money laundering operation, and (antique, not drug) dealers were hoping the stuff would eventually end up at public auction. It would be 30 years before some of the pieces would resurface, and they came from the estate of a former Illinois governor. Then there was Lamplighter antiques on South Halsted St., that closed in the 1970s. I knew the owner (who still had a property packed with stuff in the 90s), who was also the foreman for the gas utilities that capped the gas lines prior to a demolition when Chicago's new expressway on the South side was cutting through what were once Chicago's most fashionable neighborhoods. His team was the last in before razing, so they could take anything left abandoned in the homes (mansions). Many residences were still full of furniture, lighting/shades, household accessories, all the architectural appointments, etc., which continued to become available as the surrounding neighborhoods declined, and stuff was simply put out in alleys for the taking.
All items are sold as-is and all sales are final. Antique & secondhand items will not be perfect, but we will point out any chips, cracks, or obvious flaws. If there's a problem, we will make it right if there was an error on our part. No refunds, returns, or exchanges, so read the entire description including the shipping charges before bidding or making an offer, and ask questions accordingly.
