"Here the layman finds the explanation of a very fascinating mystery of glass: Just barely liquid and just solidified are very close. The conditions are separated only by a small temperature difference of a few degrees-almost without transition. This special quality of glass is what gives the glass artist the chance to realize all of his creativity in works of art."-Paperweights of the World. Height 6 3/4". Estimate: 1200 - 1500
Click on the image to enlarge	Lot 102 Monart Glass bowl with peach-colored mottled swirls on clear, decorated with gold aventurine and black along a one-inch width around the rim. Salvador Ysart and his sons, Paul, Antoine, Vincent, and Augustine produced Monart glass from 1924 until 1961. This piece contains the characteristic button pontil of Monart pieces (See Ysart Glass, The Pontil Marks, pp. 20-21 and p. 51 plates 1-6). Height 3 3/4"; Diameter 8 1/2". Estimate: $400 - 500
Click on the image to enlarge	Lot 103 Vasart glass basket basket in green and maroon, with a pressed crosshatch pattern at the top of the handles. Vasart script signature. Located in Perth, Scotland "Vasart Glass produced from 1946 to 1956, with acid-etched script 'Vasart' signature... Vasart glass tends to have a smaller, more roughly finished pontil than Monart and never has the rim of the base ground. One common Vasart colour scheme used a lighter shade at the bottom of the piece with a darker one towards the top."-Ysart Glass. Height 3 7/16"; Width 3"; Length 5 3/16". Estimate: $120 - 180
