art Deco of the united States
Continued from page 1
tan, and the Chinese Theatres as standards of the new imagery.
In Denver, we have a tribute to Art Deco with the 1930 Mayan
Theatre. Pottery flourished from coast to coast, including a
number of Art Deco styles from Colorado’s Van Briggle,
Coors, and Broadmoor potteries. My primary fascination is
U.S.-made glass, so I hope this article will bring some information about that Art Deco medium to readers.
In Denver, we are very, very fortunate to have access to
one of the most comprehensive collections of late 19th and
20th century decorative art in the country at Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art. Kirkland Museum’s collection of Art Deco is extraordinary. Anyone
who wishes to learn
about Art Deco should
visit Kirkland Museum, whether their interest is furniture, pottery, metalwork, glass,
or accessories. U.S.#2 Morgantown Dorothy Thorpe Square made Art Deco glass

nies and pieces.
A number of successful designs in the U.S. were obviously derived from European companies, such as Lalique, Orrefors, and Sabino. Nudes, birds, flowers, and insects from
the French found their way into Cambridge, U.S. Glass/Tiffin
(after 1927), and Consolidated pieces, sometime in stems,
sometimes in pressed, etched, or sand-carved items. Sharp relief and distinctive curves on Consolidated/Phoenix Line 700
"Martele" items mirrored Lalique designs. Tiffin Swedish
Modern translated Sweden’s Orrefors 1920s and 1930s geometric styles very well, adding unique sand-carved designs.
One of the critical elements of the U.S.-made glass was the
wide range of costs. Most European made Art Deco pieces
were quite expensive, continuing a sense of exclusivity in their
works. American glass had its “High End” continuing with
the work of Frederick Carder and Walter Teague designing at
Steuben, as well as Edwin W. Fuerst, Teague and A. Douglas
Nash contributing to Libbey designs in the 1930s. The Em-
bassy, Silhouette (animals), and “SkyScraper” stems of Nash along with his
Chintz designs remain among the
most difficult and intriguing of American Art Deco pieces to find.
However, what later became
known as Elegant Glass companies
designed and produced an amazing
variety of Art Deco shapes and designs at lower costs. Pedestals, towers, or columns - pick your choice of
description for stems imitating 1930s
Cambridge Peachblos- skyscrapers. These include Central’s
som #3115 Tumbler, Moderne, Fostoria’s #4020 (with
#730. late 1920s
square base), #6202, and Neo-Classic, Heisey’s New Era, Monticello, and Twist. Cambridge,
Duncan & Miller, and Tiffin countered with their own geometric shapes. Morgantown introduced a plethora of stems
from figures (Cornucopia, Jockey, and Top Hat), geometrics
(Art Moderne, Paragon, twists, and the Dorothy C. Thorpe designed square stem), and, just for fun, colored, cased filament
stems. Etchings echoed the trends; names like Arctic,
Deauville, Faun, Fernlee, La Furiste, Le Mons, Modernistic,
Superba, and Vichy give collectors many challenges. Art Deco
cuttings and sand carving were not left out, and one of the great
attractions of the Tiffin Swedish Modern line is some incredible sand carving. Within the Elegant Glass grouping, shapes
by designed by rueben Haley for Consolidated/ Phoenix are
among the most renowned for collectors. “Martele,” though
drawn from French influences, came in a wide variety of forms
and decorations that, though all pressed, appear to be cased
and etched or cut. His Catalonian pieces seem carved from a
block of glass. However, his most “in-demand” line was the
short-lived ruba rombic, its oblique angles epitomizing Art
Deco. And other companies produced a variety of shapes for
many uses. New Martinsville made their triangular Modernistic line, as well as radiance and rocket shapes, the latter
identified with No. 37 “Moondrops” in colors including amber,
amethyst, black, cobalt, greens, Jadite, pink, smoke, and ruby.
Paden City countered with Crow’s Foot in various colors.
Morgantown created radio, Saturn and Jupiter to highlight the
simultaneously expanding (faster communication) and contracting universe (greater knowledge of the solar system.) As
Conifer
primary consultant
for Fostoria, industrial designer
George Sakier provided plans including
previously
mentioned lines,
along with others
with exotic sounding names like Di- Cambridge Smoke Candy Dish, Anchor
adem, Flame, Lo- Hocking Green Rocket Vase, Cambridge
tus, Mayfair, Myr- Square Ebon Vase with Birds
iad, Spool, Sunray, and Viking.
Candlesticks and bowls, whether separately or as console sets, appeared in a wide variety of shapes, some winged
like Duncan’s #16, or Fostoria’s Viking and Baroque. Geometric angles in the molds for Tiffin’s Cascade or Velva and
Fostoria’s Flame, #2433 “modern classical”, or #2402 overlapping Octagonal gave distinctive curves and angles to bowls
and candle holders. Tiffin countered with smooth curves, but
alternating acid-washed matte vs. gloss decorations on the
Echec and Kimberly lines. Many of these designs also came
in a variety of table pieces with sandwich and cheese and
cracker sets as in-home entertaining became a greater part of
urban and suburban American lifestyles. Vases abounded, in
swirls, loops, concentric circles, rays, triangles, pyramids,
modernist urns, and polyhedrons in lush colors and finishes,
some more dramatic than any flower and plant arrangements.
repealing Prohibition in 1933 created a wider market for
alcohol-oriented pieces. Cocktails especially became popular
in the 1930s, with shakers and sets abounding. Decanters accompanied a variety of stems or tumblers into the marketplace, such as Paden City Aristocrat and Libbey Knickerbocker. Ice buckets abounded; combined home refrigerator/freezers from the 1940s on let people keep ice trays for drinks.
Morgantown created a line of stems and tumblers to go with
the Steubenville’s russel Wright-designed “American Modern” pottery. Along with the “sin” glass associated with drinking, smoking paraphernalia for home and office proliferated.
Ash trays, cigarette boxes and holders, matchboxes, and
lighter accessories became commonplace in most homes, long
before the deadly effects associated with smoking became
universal public knowledge.
Fully machine-made “Depression Glass” companies embraced Art Deco themes. Indiana Glass created popular lines
entitled Cracked Ice, Pyramid and Tea room, all sharply angled and very collectible. Hazel-Atlas provided a wide range
of colors and Platonite-fired finishes for a vast array of conContinued on page 9

"Where the Past
Comes to Life”
So.
Broadway,
Denver
The Antique Row area of South Broadway
is rich in history and has retained its fascinating historic character while remaining a vital
commercial, artistic, cultural and residential
neighborhood.
In 1888, the first cable car in Denver had
its maiden voyage, traveling down South
Broadway to Alameda. In 1913, The Ford
Motor Company opened a factory at 900 South
Broadway. The next year Ford was joined by
The Gates Rubber Company.
And what of South Broadway today? Although the factories of upper South Broadway,
Bredan Creamery, Samsonite and Montgomery
Wards are largely gone, the boarding houses,
apothecaries, taverns, groceries, clothiers and
other shops still exist, only in a different form.
Most of the old buildings still stand, but now
are filled with antiques, galleries, restaurants,
florists, clothiers and other businesses operating in this historic neighborhood.
Today it's a vibrant, living neighborhood
that has evolved over 100 years. The types of
businesses have changed, but the buildings
largely remain intact, stately reminders of a
gentler day.

pink, ruby, or satinized. Anchor Hocking also offered a
“rocket vase” in several colors. Jeannette contributed Hex
Optic in nearly all pink and green as a lightly hexagonal
pressed pattern throughout the piece, sometimes crystal
iridized. Swirl from Jeannette is most common in Pink and
Ultramarine, with unusual pieces in Delphite. Again, all these
examples show the profound interest in Art Deco styling that
"pervaded the late 1920s through the 1940s.
Should you find an interest in this genre, I recommend
exploring Art Deco books at your local library, contacting the
rocky Mountain Depression

Auction Recap
Caribou ranch auction
a Great Success
Music fans packed the Denver Design
Center, vying for the chance to own a piece
of music history at The Caribou ranch and
Studio Memorabilia Auction conducted by
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers. The evening
drew over 1,500 bidders, including locals
from Nederland, Boulder and Denver who
attended the live auction and those who
participated online. “It’s obvious that nostalgia played a role in the outcome of this
sale,” said Auctioneer Maron Hindman.
“The music created at Caribou ranch resonates across generations. Music fans
wanting to own a piece of its history are
the ones that ultimately made the sale a
huge success.”
The bronze bell used outside the Mess
Hall to call guests to dinner sold for
$13,750 (against a pre-sale estimate of
$200-400). results like these are telling of
the sentiment bidders felt towards the
unique and iconic Caribou accommodations and their influence on music history.
The stoic bedroom set made of burl walnut, mahogany and oak from the Ouray
presidential suite sold for $17,500 (against
a pre-sale estimate of $5,000-9,000). The
bed and chest with mirror were originally
built for President Grover Cleveland and
used by numerous artists including Elton
John, Jerry Lee Lewis and Michael Jackson.
Fans were competitively bidding on
the large collection of Chicago memora-
bilia, which included promotional LPs,
platinum record awards and album art and
together brought over $34,000. The original album artwork designed by John Berg
for the Chicago III album, depicting the
Chicago logo on a worn American flag,
sold for $5,000 (against a pre-sale estimate
of $800-1,200). The Gibson Thunderbird
bass often used by Chicago bassist Terry
Kath sold for $6,250 (against a pre-sale estimate of $1,000-2,000).
Other recording studio instruments
performed well, especially the two most
used pianos for writing and recording at
Caribou ranch. The mahogany Steinway
& Sons grand piano used while recording
almost all of Elton John’s Caribou album,
including "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on
Me," sold for
$112,500
(against a presale estimate of
$10,00015,000). The
Wm. Knabe &
Co. baby grand
piano used by
nearly every
guest staying in
the Ouray cabin sold for $52,500 (against a
pre-sale estimate of $1,000-2,000). Artists
who worked on this piano include Michael
Jackson, Frank Zappa, Stephen Stills,
Peter Cetera, Elton John and Dan Fogelberg. The Hammond B3 Organ located in
the recording studio and used by artists
such as Chicago, Stephen Stills, rod Stewart, Joe Walsh and Earth, Wind & Fire sold
for $11,250 (against a pre-sale estimate of
$7,000-9,000). Distinctly western art and
furniture such as bronze figures, impressive taxidermy, western prints and leather
saddles all found enthusiastic bidders. One
example is a full body taxidermy mountain lion, which sold for $11,875 (against
a pre-sale estimate of $600-800).
Leslie Hindman Auctioneers began festivities with a preview party on January 17
that drew over 300 attendees. Guests included artists that recorded at Caribou ranch, its
famed founder James Guercio and the Guercio family. The exhibition remained open to
the public all week and had hundreds of visitors before tonight’s sale. Many came away
with one-of-a-kind items from a recording
studio that hosted over 178 musicians during
its tenure and produced 45 top ten albums, 18
Grammys and 20 number-one Billboard Hits.
Caribou ranch was enjoyed by the likes of
Elton John, Billy Joel, Jeff Beck, the Beach
Boys, Frank Zappa, Stephen Stills, Willie
Nelson, Earth, Wind & Fire, Chicago and
many others. With Caribou’s doors closed,
winning bidders are now the keepers of its
iconic music memorabilia. Leslie Hindman
Auctioneers and the Guercio family are
pleased to donate a portion of proceeds from
the sale to the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.

Furniture & Hardware May not be as Old as It Looks
By Anne Gilbert
Judging the age of a piece of furniture and those fancy
drawer pulls can be a bit tricky. The furniture and hardware can be reproductions. Or, consider, many an authentic antique has been outfitted with new hardware or hardware of the wrong historical period. Often in the past owners have gotten tired of the Sandwich-glass drawer pulls
on her Victorian chest and replaced them with some of the
“new,” carved fruit pulls. Or, perhaps that same chest of
drawers was “modernized” with a coat of paint, hiding its
pine lineage. Or, even worse, perhaps, if nobody opened
a drawer, they wouldn’t know about the hand wrought iron
escutcheon in the shape of a heart, also painted over. However, don’t jump to any conclusions! The hardware shape
didn’t automatically make this piece 18th or early 19th
century Pennsylvania Dutch.
CLUES: Over the centuries drawer handles and pulls
have been made from a variety of materials: brass, iron,
wood, glass, porcelain and pressed paper. One of the earliest types wasn’t fastened to the drawer with a bolt and
nut, but in a teardrop style fastened with a bent wire. It
was revived during the William and Mary period (16881702) in brass.
By the Queen Anne period (1702-1714) bail handles
with a threaded rod or bolt and nut. A design was stamped
into the metal that resembled engraving. The ornate
French furniture of the Louis XV period(1715-1744) usually had heavy gilt bronze or ormolu handles.
Beginning in America’s early 19th century, other
styles were developed. Among them the brass, oval back
plate with patriotic motifs, cut glass knobs backed with
tinfoil and set into a brass collar.
Around 1827 pressed glass knobs were introduced by
the Boston and Sandwich glass house. Another style popular at the time was the enamel knob with scenic designs.
Teardrop pulls that combined brass and black enameled
maple were matched with the Victorian furniture of the
1860s to 90s. An innovation was drawer handles of
pressed paper in a grape pattern. They shouldn’t be confused with the carved walnut handles made in many patterns from the 1860s to around 1882.
Many fine reproductions are being made to go with
period pieces that are missing hardware. They are listed
in the internet and in antiques publications.

variation of the same. The dealers here are generally a little more professional than what you'll find in a lot of
places. They take what they are doing here very seriously
and have a lot of pride in what they are are doing."
"We've tried to keep the bar as high as we can in the
overall quality of the store and then our prices too are very
good. Our goal is to be the nicest antique mall in Denver
and to also have the best prices."
"My son-in-law, Dmitriy (Odnoralov) is now working with me and doing a fantastic job. He handles all of
the delivery needs of our customers. He works hard and
is good at what he is doing. So it's great to have the next
generation become a part of this. This year I just became
a grandfather," he adds proudly.
"My staff at Hampden Street Antiques is exceptional.
They are Niles Downen, Marietta Neigel, and Lonnie
Johnson, each of whom have been with me for six to
eleven years. They are great dealers and provide a quality
service and caring environment for customers and dealers
alike." The team works extremely hard for their dealers,
helping them promote their dealer space, and helping them
become successful in many different ways: pricing, identifying, merchandising and setting up their booths, anything that helps them be better dealers."
All this makes for an exceptional experience for cus'445;4)+3+4:

H.C. - Pompano Beach, FL
A. You have a collector’s eye and have discovered a
mid-19th century Japanese Imari charger. Made in the
Japanese town of Arita beginning in the 17th Century, it
was named for the port of Imari-the place from where it
was shipped. The designs of textiles, chrysanthemums and
landscapes were enclosed in panels. It became so popular
that by the 18th century the Chinese copied it. So did Eng-

number in England, Austria, France and Germany, provided
Americans with all the Valentine's Day postcards they needed, but about a dozen companies dominated the industry.
The firm of raphael Tuck & Sons, headquartered in London but with branches all around the world, imported dozens
of different valentine sets to us through their New York City
office. All were part of Tuck's "Valentines" line and included
such diverse subjects as comic strip heroes Little Nemo and
Buster Brown. Tuck was one of the leaders in producing huge
amounts of valentine postcards for everyone to exchange, not
just lovers.
Their illustrations were exquisite, and among the loveliest or most interesting to be found. Today they are considered to be some of the very best ever printed for the holiday.
At the peak of their popularity there were probably more Tuck
Valentine's Day postcards on sale in this country than those
made by any other company.
Other important foreign publishers of picture postcards
for the American Valentine's Day market were Paul Finkenrath of Berlin; Ernest Nister, also German, whose valentines
and other paper goods were handled in this country by the
large New York City firm of E. Dutton; and Valentine & Sons,
from Great Britain.
Notable U.S. printers, besides International Art and E.
Nash, included the venerable Whitney Company of Worcester, Massachusetts, which had been so instrumental in introducing hand and machine-made valentines to the American
public in the 19th century; and Birn Brothers, creator of patriotic-theme valentine postcards.
The vast majority of the better quality valentine postcards and almost all holidays were printed by chromolithog-
prices are reasonable, though, when
compared to those of old Victorian and
Edwardian valentines. Comparatively
low prices, startling beauty, and good
availability are what make yesteryear's
valentine postcards so attractive and
popular with today's collectors.
