CollectibleBottles – Antique Perfume
Executive Summary about collectible bottles by Alvin Loh
When you mention about the material that perfume bottles are made from, the first answer that comes to people’s mind will be glass. However, traditionally, these bottles of perfumes were also made from other materials and were even at one time, widely being used to produce different designs of bottles to contain perfume. Enamel perfume bottles were the trend in the 18th century and formed a large part of designer perfume bottles. These enamel bottles were made by large perfume houses such as Bilston or Wednesbury. From them, famous designers of bottles of perfumes emerged. The decorations of these perfume bottles can consist mostly of general landscapes and flowers with some of the more intricate designs featuring portraits. These enamel bottles are very uniform in character, having the same characteristics and form of contemporary porcelain. Read more

What is Art Pottery?
Executive Summary about collectible pottery by Robert Hemken Jr.
We all know what pottery is, so the phrase “Art Pottery” refers to any pottery that is decorative, stylish, attractive or even beautiful… a work of art… Art Pottery!
Obviously “art” is open to interpretation, but since there is so much to choose from, anyone can fall in love with some form of art pottery. With so much diversity there is enough Art Pottery for everyone.
Art pottery is designed not only for beauty but also functionality. This makes art pottery a welcomed addition to any home. Many pottery manufacturers are no longer in business and so their pieces are valuable to collect. Some pottery companies are still manufacturing after over a century of business. Some relatively new pottery companies are producing interesting work of great quality with a more modern look. Just the thousands of images of Art Pottery alone, found on the Internet, add up to quite an education. By researching Internet dealers and auction sites you can get a good idea of what various pieces of Art Pottery are worth.

Collecting American Artistic Glassware
Executive Summary about collectible plates by Eddie Lamb
Beautiful artistic glassware was a symbol of luxury in Europe and Asia before America was an independent country. No matter how harsh life is Americans find a way to bring beautiful items into their homes.
You could collect French artistic glassware from Provence, or Imperial Russian artistic glassware. A uniquely American collection of artistic glassware might not be as elegant, delicate, or beautiful as some other collections, but it could celebrate the American spirit. Depression Glass
Depression glass is probably the most collected American artistic glassware. Depression glass was poor-quality glassware made during the 1930′s and 1940′s. Depression glass was cheap, poor quality, easily obtainable – and beautiful. At a time when people could barely afford to keep body and soul together, they collected these beautiful pink, green, or blue pieces of artistic glassware. Milk Glass
The Fenton glass company opened in 1905, and they have created a number of patterns and designs of glassware. One of the more collectible is milk glass. Milk glass pieces are white with a hobnail texture. Some milk glass has a faint blue cast, similar to skim milk. Other manufacturers have made milk glass, but Fenton glass is the most popular.
It started to produce milk glass and other artistic glassware items in the 1950′s. Carnival Glass
Another product introduced by Fenton glass was carnival glass. They began marketing carnival glass just prior to WWI. Carnival glass continues to be produced today.
Anchor Hocking, Pyrex, and Fostoria glassware are all American collectibles. Collecting American artistic glassware is one way to celebrate the American spirit.
