Lot 304
Vasart transparent glass vase in an oblong shape,
with aventurine accents around the lip, blending down into the
body surface, covered with sea green dappling. "…Some
early Vasart production used colors and gold aventurine brought
with the Ysarts from the Moncrieff factory (but) the supply was
limited and soon they were forced to find other sources. The
family were well versed in the chemistry of glass and purchased
raw chemicals to make their own colors." -Ysart Glass.

Lot 305
Vasart glass vase, with a round bottom and fluted
mouth, shaded in a pale indigo color, streaked down the vase
and mixing with a cloudy, paler blue at the base. Etch-signed
'Vasart' on the bottom. "The strong, powerful and dramatic
color schemes popular in the homes of the 1930s were being replaced
by more delicate, softly muted colors and much of Vasart production
reflects this change." -Ysart Glass.
