Vintage Icelandic glassware mugs made in 1984 by the Gler í Bergvík glass studio are a rare find. Each hand blown glass cup has an etched artist's mark (s.s.) and date ('84) on the bottom. Three of the vintage glass mugs have their original Gler í Gergvik sticker labels.

There is a lovely green tinge to the vintage art glass cups as shown in the photographs. As these are hand blown works of art, each glass mug is slightly different -- note the varying heights of the glass handles.

The vintage glassware is in good condition. The glass cups do not appear to have been used as three of them have their original stickers. There are some imperfections on the handles which may be from the manufacturing process -- rough patches at the top of the handles which are not sharp. It is very noticeable on one cup but not so much on the others.

Approximate Measurements:
4 1/2" Tall

The spoons are in very good vintage condition with a patina of age including some tarnish spots. Should you desire, a little polishing will bring these lovely spoons back to shining silver. I will leave that up to you, as some silver lovers prefer an aged patina.

The Breviarium Romanum, or Breviary, contains the Latin liturgical rites of the Catholic Church including prayers, hymns, psalms, and readings for daily use. This beautiful antique leather-bound copy of the Breviarium Romanum, Pars Hiemalis was published in 1914 by the Benziger Brothers.

The Breviary, Pars Hiemalis, is the winter volume of the Catholic rites, covering Advent, Christmastide, and the Epiphany, with prayers and readings up to and including the Saturday before the First Sunday of Lent.

This is an antique book dating from 1914. It is in good condition but does show age-appropriate wear from the passage of time and use. The leather binding is worn around the edges with some tearing and loss at the top of the spine. The pages are tanned with age yet supple. There is some light soiling on a few pages. Otherwise, the pages are clean. It looks as through someone cleanly cut the last three pages from the back of the book, or they may never have been present as it does not appear that any text is missing. Included with the antique prayer book are five (5) double-side pages of additional prayers:

1. Absolutiones Et Benedictiones
2. Antiphoae Et Versiculi
3. Miserere -- Magnificat -- Suffragium
4. Pro Commemoratione - Dominicarum et Feriarum
5. Venite -- Te Deum -- Benedictus

Shiny Brite, the iconic American Christmas ornament company, produced a fantastic array of glass holiday baubles from the late 1930s into the 1960s. This set of lantern-shaped glass ornaments have red, green & white stripes. They came to me tied with the red ribbon you see in the photographs and I have kept the ornaments together.

The ornaments have lost most of their silvering. One of the ornaments has a replacement metal top which is marked "Poland" and doesn't quite fit the bulb. The other one has metal cap marked "Shiny Brite Made in U.S.A." The ornaments have typical signs of aging with spots, paint loss, & discoloration.

One ornament is approximately 2 3/4" long. The other one is about 3" long.
