Glass in the Mantel, 1911


Illustration from Modern Mantels, a catalog and handbook from


the Knoxville Furniture Company of Knoxville, Tennessee.


In the period illustration, art glass
features a tree motif. Stylized cypress
trees are a popular revival image. Of
exceptional quality is Old California
Lighting’s Cobblestone Series pendant
with Monterey Cypress fi ligree
(available in four sizes with glass and
fi nish options). As shown in medium
size, $742.50. oldcalifornia.com

The revival of American art pottery
continues, as does interest in
collecting vintage pieces. Shown
here are three from Door Pottery
in Wisconsin: ‘Petite Sprout’
vase in Spring Mix; ‘Arrow Leaf’
vase in Misty Blue on Blue; and
the watertight ‘Sunburst’ vase in
Persimmon. doorpottery.com

Arts & Crafts for the people,
slightly unconventional: The
table base is massive, chair backs
upholstered—and the mantel has
a glass-door display area for art
pottery and metalwork. Fringe
decorates the Mission chandelier.
