From jewel-toned stemware to sparkling cut crystal, every piece tells a story through colour, craftsmanship and design.
Jordaens N.V. is pleased to present an eye-catching selection of antique glassware, vintage crystal, decorative art glass, collectible vases, decanters, drinking glasses and ornamental objects in our upcoming auction on 29th & 30th September.
For collectors, interior designers and lovers of decorative arts, glass has a special appeal. Light moves differently through every object. Colour changes with its surroundings. Hand-cut decoration, engraved surfaces, gilding, moulded forms and unusual silhouettes reveal the skill and imagination of generations of glassmakers.
The selection pictured here ranges from elegant tableware to striking decorative statement pieces. Rich emerald green, ruby red, cobalt blue, amber, violet and rose tones sit alongside clear and cut crystal, creating a collection that feels both historic and remarkably contemporary.

Why Collect Antique & Vintage Glass?
Glass collecting combines artistry with extraordinary variety. Small differences in colour, weight, cutting technique, decoration and form can make each piece distinctive. Some collectors specialise in one colour or period; others build eclectic collections combining antique tableware, decorative vases and modern design.
One of the great attractions of vintage glass is its versatility. A nineteenth- or twentieth-century decorative vase may sit comfortably beside contemporary art, while a set of coloured stemware can transform a dining table. Crystal decanters, perfume bottles and sculptural glass objects can also become focal points within an interior.
For buyers who appreciate craftsmanship, glass rewards close inspection. Hand-cut facets, engraved ornament, controlled bubbles, layered colours, polished edges, gilt decoration and elaborate stems often reveal the considerable skill involved in their creation.
An Auction for Collectors, Designers & Interior Enthusiasts
This collection will appeal not only to established glass collectors but also to buyers searching for unique interior pieces, vintage home décor, luxury tableware, decorative antiques and conversation pieces.
Rather than purchasing mass-produced décor, auction buyers have the opportunity to acquire objects with age, individuality and visual character. From a single striking vase to an entire collection of crystal and coloured stemware, these pieces can introduce history and personality into both traditional and contemporary interiors.
