I wish I was a Raymor Conoisseur

Boy, I covet this line of glassware more than almost any other. In my opinion, Mr. Seibel put out some of the nicest glass in the mid-twentieth century. Both Conoisseur and Raymor Modern Glassware take my breath away.

I 2nd that motion. I'm not much of a glass person--especially crackle anything--but I think the Raymor Connoisseur line ranks up there with some of the best glassware I've ever seen. And the quality--its just phenomenal. Ben Seibel's styling is so compelling in this very rare line.

I have never found a piece in the wild yet. This was an ebay purchase. I can't wait for the day when I walk into an antique mall or thrift and buy my first piece. It will truly be a screamer day.

In The Wild

I've dreamt of that day ever since I first saw a photo of Conoisseur. Unfortunately I've never seen any in the wild either, but I'm always looking and will probably have a stroke if I do actually ever see any in an antique shop or thrift store. I don't get those "pitter patters" very often when I find something, but this would surely be one of the occasions where I did.
