Questions About Old Fashion Glass
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021An old-fashioned glass is usually known as the lowball or the lowball glass, which is a short tumbler-style glass that has a solid base and holds at least six ounces of liquor. These glasses are a perfect fit for formal as well as informal occasions. Shop a wide range of unique drinking glasses on 1stDibs.
- What is a double old fashioned?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A double old-fashioned likely refers to a type of glass that can hold 12 to 16 fluid ounces. These glasses are typically used to serve dark spirits such as whiskey — specifically a larger portion than what is served in a traditional old-fashioned glass. Find a collection of antique and vintage double old-fashioned glasses on 1stDibs today.
- Are hoop earrings old fashioned?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023Whether hoop earrings are old-fashioned is a matter of personal opinion. Hoop earrings have been around since 2500 B.C., when African artisans first began producing them out of bronze, silver and gold. The ancient Egyptians would later wear them as well. During the 1920s, hoop earrings became a trend in the United States when the opening of King Tutankhamen's tomb sparked renewed interest in Egyptian jewelry. Since then, hoops have largely remained in style, and today they have become staples of hip-hop, Black and Latina cultures. Shop a large selection of hoop earrings.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022While there are many varieties of ‘old-fashioned’ clocks, pendulum clocks were the timekeeping favorite of early 1900s households. In their heyday, pendulum clocks used a swinging weight to mark the time. Today, pendulum clocks are beloved for their decorative aesthetic. You’ll find a variety of antique clocks from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Large old-fashioned suitcases made of wood, leather and metal are called steamer trunks. Smaller handheld suitcases emerged at the end of the 19th century and were known as dress-suit cases. Find a range of suitcases and steamer trunks on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023What you call an old-fashioned lamp depends on its design. Lamps with glass shades and hollow bases that get filled with oil are kerosene, oil or paraffin lamps. An oil lamp with two reservoirs is a cruise lamp, while one with a swinging arm is a student lamp. Shop a variety of antique, vintage and modern lamps on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Old-fashioned water pumps work by using a series of levers and valves to move water up from an underground system. The lever on the outside of the pump is manually pushed up and down to begin the process. On 1stDibs, find a collection of authentic antique water pumps from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023What an old-fashioned writing desk is called varies by design. Pieces with drop-down fronts are secretary desks (these are typically made of two parts: a chest of drawers on the bottom and a hutch or cupboard with shelves on the top), while ones that rest on two pillars, cabinets or bookcases are pedestal desks. A desk with a small writing surface positioned in front of drawers and cubbies is a bureau à gradin. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of desks.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023What an old-fashioned candle holder is called depends on its design. A tall holder meant for a single taper candle is a candlestick, while taper holders with arms that branch off a central column are candelabras. Shop a range of candle holders on 1stDibs.
- How old is Libbey glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024Libbey glass is more than 100 years old. Amos Binney, Edmund Munroe, Daniel Hastings and Deming Jarves founded the company as the New England Glass Company on February 16, 1818. In 1883, Edward Drummond Libbey became president of the company, and in 1888, he relocated it from New England to Toledo, Ohio. The company was renamed in his honor in 1892. Find a selection of Libbey glass on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023High-backed old-fashioned chairs are often called wingback chairs. They may not offer structural support, but the wings on antique and vintage wingback chairs certainly do have a purpose or did, when the design was first conceived in England in the 1600s. Back then, the armchair protrusions were meant to protect the sitter from drafts and from the strong heat radiating from the large fireplaces that were popular at the time. This explains why the wingback is so strongly associated with cozying up by the fireplace. Although the functional aspect of a wingback may be obsolete in the 21st century, the chairs have maintained their popularity over the years and have seen waves of revivals. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique, vintage and modern wingback chairs from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To clean an old glass ashtray, fill your sink with warm water and mild dish soap. Place the ashtray in the sink and allow it to soak for a few minutes. Then, wipe with a soft sponge. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique and vintage glass ashtrays.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Old champagne glasses are called champagne coupes. Champagne coupes are one of the oldest designs of champagne glassware, and have also been tied to the myth that they were modeled after Marie Antoinette’s bust. You’ll find a large collection of champagne glasses from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024To tell how old a pair of glasses is, you can examine it closely and then conduct some research using trusted online resources. If you see a mark that indicates the maker, use the manufacturer as a starting point. Find out when the company was in business and look at catalogues and other references to determine when it produced similar styles. If you can't find a maker, your glasses will likely be from the late 20th century or earlier. In this case, you can research the characteristics of your glasses to get a rough idea of the age. For example, nose pads didn't come into use until the 1920s. Another feature of eyeglasses introduced in the 1920s is positioning the temples at the upper corners of the frames rather than in the middle. If you need help with dating, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of eyeglasses.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023To tell how old a glass lamp is, first look for markings that can help identify the name of the manufacturer. Many makers placed markings or labels on the bulb’s housing or the bases of the lamps they produced. By using trusted online resources, you can determine when the maker was active and estimate the age of the fixture. Certified appraisers can also be of assistance when trying to date lamps. Shop a range of glass lamps on 1stDibs.
- How old is cobalt blue glass?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022How old cobalt glass is varies greatly. Ancient Mesopotamian examples exist from roughly 2000 BC. In China, cobalt glass became common during the Zhou Dynasty, which lasted from 1122 to 221 BC. European cobalt glass may date back to as early as the 15th century. Shop a collection of antique cobalt glass on 1stDibs.
