    About this ebook

    Relative value is often an issue and concern as old antique cut glass is bought and sold. One of the first things that non-collectors usually want to know about inherited glass is, "How much is it worth?" Beginning collectors are often are perplexed by the outrageous prices that seem to be arbitrarily assigned to unremarkable pieces. More experienced collectors shop carefully, observing minute details, characteristics and flaws in cut glass of interest. Buying as well as selling auction participants are frequently amazed by the hammer prices realized by certain cut glass items.

     

    Exploration of perceived value often evolves into a dialog, sometimes between a potential buyer and an aspirational seller. Sometimes the dialog becomes internal, as a prospective buyer seeks a "comfortable" maximum acquisition cost. Sometimes value determination is a fast-paced exchange, during a quick negotiation. Participants in such exchanges may be knowledgable or relatively uninformed. They might be coldly objective, or significantly emotional about the item under consideration. Resource constraints may factor in, or be irrelevant to a particular value discussion.

     

    Here, value is proposed to be the mutually agreed upon price at which an informed and knowledgable buyer is willing to purchase Brilliant Era cut glass from a knowledgable and informed seller. There's usually one value associated with a piece of factory-perfect, never-repaired cut glass, but a somewhat lesser value for glass with some degree of imperfection. Determination of current "value" can be adversely impacted by many factors. In this discussion, several value-impacting factors are discussed and illustrated. The objective is to provide tools that stimulate and strengthen value-related discernment, so that collectors can more rationally evaluate Brilliant Cut Glass opportunities and pitfalls.

      Brilliant Cut Glass Value Impairment

      ––––––––

      by

      Rob Smith

      for LABAC Cycle #22

      Published by V-R Information Systems

      Special Interest Books Since 1978

      FRONT COVER:   10 diameter pie plate or tray cut in the very seldom-seen Hawkes Imperial 2" pattern, as shown on Hobstar CNP 90 (Dec. 1980) and pictured on pages 15 and 30 of a Hawkes circa 1915 fragmented catalog held in the archives of the Rakow Research Library at Corning.  This design has a checkerboard formed by sets of triple parallel miters, upon which single miters are superimposed at 45 degree angles forming the familiar field of eight-faceted hobs. In this Hawkes formulation, each hob bears an eight point clear button Middlesex-style hobstar. An example in very fine condition sold as lot 100 for $1,000 at the Dec. 1, 2018 Woody Cut Glass Auction.  In that auction another example of the same size, shape and cutting but broken and bearing five repair staples sold for only $70.
