Today I am looking at my picks of pretty pickle casters. I dare you to say that 5 times, fast.
The extensive catalogue for the 19th and 20th Century Glass auction at Jeffrey S. Evans & Associates is now available online at: CLICK HERE. I picked a few pretty pickle casters that I am particularly partial to.
Lot 557: DOT / SPOT OPTIC AMBERINA PICKLE CASTER, James
W. Tufts quadruple-plate stand with tongs. Fourth quarter 19th century. 13 1/4″ HOA, jar 4 1/2″ H, 2 1/2″ D base.

This is just a few of the 1,047 lots available in the January 26 auction. You can bid online so, there is no excuse for you not to own a beautiful piece of glass for your home or office. I’ll bet you need a good pickle caster.
I didn’t know that such a thing as a “pickle caster” even existed before you pointed it out to me this morning. Now I must go bid on one!
That makes 2 of us!
When will you offer another pickle caster auction?
