Glass, Pottery and Porcelain Wanted

My current wants include:

Ruba Rombic glass of any type, even "orphaned" parts
Muncie Pottery in the "Ruba Rombic" and Spanish designs
Catalogs from Phoenix, Consolidated, Muncie or Kopp
Warwick "Ladies of the Night" porcelain items
Kopp Modernistic vases or lamps, especially in black and red glass (no Kopp powder jars needed).

Specifics on these wants follow:

Ruba Rombic , any item, any color, any amount:

Ruba Rombic Smoky Topaz whiskey decanter pictured above (my collection).

I need the whiskey decanter, pictured above, in Silver. This looks like gray when you see it. I have the whiskey set tray and some of the shot glasses and I want to complete my set.

I buy all Ruba Rombic items, all colors. A single piece to an entire collection. I buy parts, e.g., stoppers (perfume, cologne or whiskey decanter) without bottoms (or vise versa), lids (cigarette box or powder jar) without bottoms (or vise versa) and even damaged Ruba Rombic (if priced accordingly).

Got some Ruba Rombic for sale? Please contact me -- I am easy to do business with. I need a description of what you have for sale (describe the item(s) and condition - any damage?). Photographs help as the colors in Ruba Rombic are confusing and a picture helps sort that out quickly. Let me know what you want for your item(s). Include you phone number so I can contact you.

Catalogues Wanted

I also buy catalogues from Consolidated Glass Company, Phoenix Glass Company, Muncie Pottery and Kopp Glass Company. I buy catalogues from the 19th century up to 1980. I am especially interested in catalogues featuring lighting glass from Consolidated Glass Company for the years 1926-1932. Please send a description of what you have, its condition and the price you are asking. Copies of a couple of catalog pages would be helpful.

Muncie Pottery Wanted

I need the following Muncie figural items (but will consider all figural items):

Love Birds console bowl

I am buying all the Muncie Pottery cubist or "Ruba Rombic" motif items (see page 188 in my book for illustrations -- Note: Illustrations of each of these items will be added in the future so check back). Some of the items I especially need are:

220-8" vase (in vase or lamp form)

221-12" vase (in vase or lamp form)

224-11" vase (in vase or lamp form)

300 8" fan vase

304 9" vase
305 candlesticks (pair) in blue over blue
306 console bowl: I have the candles in purple/green so that is the color I need
307-7" stacked cubes vase

308 vase

I like the mat drip green/rose, purple/green, and green/pumpkin glazes. I am also interested in high glaze pieces from Muncie especially unusual high glaze finishes. I am also looking for experimental pieces made by Muncie.

I am also interested in the Muncie "Spanish" design items that bear a resemblance to the Catalonian designs by Consolidated Glass Company.

Warwick "Ladies of the Night" Wanted

I am also looking for Warwick charcoal gray vases with Nude motifs. These are also called "Ladies of the Night" vases as they feature transfer photographs of prostitutes. I need a lid for a Warwick "Ladies of the Night" tobacco jar.
