DOUGLASS, Kan. - Jan. 16, 2024 - PRLog -- Woody Auction's many fine auctions held throughout 2023, when taken together, showcased all the firm's major categories: American Brilliant Cut Glass, art glass, firearms, furniture, primitives, artwork, Asian/Oriental, lamps, Carnival glass, porcelain, pottery, sterling silver, Native American and other quality antiques from the 1800s-1920s.

The first major event of the year was held on March 3^rd-4^th, a truly "brilliant" weekend that featured numerous collections of American Brilliant Cut Glass (ABCG) – over 900 lots in all. One of the top lots was an ABCG Flemish jug, emerald cut to clear, 13 ½ inches tall, in Pattern #50 by Dorflinger. The 3-pint jug, with a pattern cut handle and marked silver embossed collar, gaveled for a robust $15,000.

A couple of weeks later, on March 18^th, was Part 2 (the final part) of the Ron Blessing collection of pickle castors, brides' baskets, cut glass, art glass and furniture. "It was indeed an honor for us to present the final auction of one of the finest collections of Victorian antiques anywhere," said Jason Woody of Woody Auction. As with all Woody Auction sales, every item was sold without reserve.

The top lot was a Tiffany Studios (N.Y.) table lamp with a leaded glass Nasturtium shade. The original six-socket electrified lamp was in excellent condition and had a telescoping base that extended to 44 inches in total height. The shade had numerous yellow and orange blossoms with green slag foliage background and an amethyst and white ribbon border. The lamp sold within estimate for $65,000.

A marked Daum Nancy French cameo art glass vase having orange ground with a fantastic cameo cut and enamel penguin scenic décor, 9 ¾ inches tall, blew past even the high estimate to finish at $17,000; while a signed Daum Nancy French cameo art glass vase of exceptional quality, 8 ¼ inches tall, having a pink and green ground with a spring blossom décor, went to a determined, happy bidder for $13,500.
