What's Trending in Vintage & Antiques — Week of September 14

Quick Take

Champagne coupes, compotes, stoneware jars, and pitchers each moved this week — etched crystal, pedestal glass, salt-glazed pottery, and embossed ceramics are all worth a second look.

This week's movers live in china cabinets, pantry shelves, and estate-sale tables — and the details that matter are already visible in the glass, glaze, and clay. Flip a piece over, hold it to the light, and you might be sitting on something worth scanning.

Champagne coupes — 4× vs. last week

Weston etched champagne coupe

Found this week: Weston etched champagne coupe — Est. $28

Champagne coupes moved this week, and the Weston Etched Crystal Champagne Coupe shows exactly why — wheel-etched designs on clear crystal paired with a ruby red base are the kind of detail that stops browsers cold.

Look for the ruby red base first, then check the shallow bowl for fine wheel-etched lines that catch light differently from molded or printed patterns.

Compotes — up vs. last week

Fenton Colonial Blue compote

Found this week: Fenton Colonial Blue compote — Est. $38

Pedestal compotes are up this week, and the Fenton Colonial Blue Compote is a clear example — translucent Colonial Blue glass with a raised pineapple pattern and a scalloped rim.

Photograph the pedestal foot from the side and the rim straight on — the scalloped edge and pineapple texture are what separate this piece from plain blue glass.

Stoneware jars — on the rise

Two-tone stoneware jar

Found this week: Two-tone stoneware jar — Est. $54

Stoneware jars are climbing out of pantries and into the spotlight — the Two-Tone Stoneware Jar, with its brown-and-cream salt-glazed finish and rounded shoulder, is a solid example of what's moving.

Focus on the shoulder and mouth — the two-tone brown and cream salt-glazed surface is uneven and slightly textured in a way that modern reproductions rarely replicate.

Pitchers — 3× vs. last week

Elios Italy ceramic pitcher

Found this week: Elios Italy ceramic pitcher — Est. $31

Pitchers are active this week, and the Elios Italy White Ceramic Pitcher draws attention with its embossed grapevine decoration running beneath a glossy white glaze.

Check the base for a maker's mark, then look along the spout — the embossed vines should be crisp and raised, easy to spot in a close-up photo.
